There was a time when I said, half jokingly, "Every Day in Every Way I'm Getting Better and Better". Now I wonder.
I wonder - have I gotten as good as I am going to get?
I wonder - What's the point in getting better and better?
I wonder - What's better - better than what?
I wonder - if my life has reached that point where I am merely marking time until the inevitable.
I am certain that I am happy, fulfilled, healthy and ready to be of use to the world.
I am certain that I am ready for any challenge that is placed in my path.
I am equally certain that I will not find any problems in my path that can't be overcome. Or is that just the reverse of what I said before???
I am uncertain that I have any particular purpose at this time
I am uncertain that simply enjoying my life as it is, is what I am meant to do and
I am uncertain that I would want any "New Purpose" for my existence.
YET, each day I wonder if there isn't more that I could do or be or become to make myself or someone else more comfortable or better or wiser or whatever.
So life has become this enigma - fulfilling - and yet empty. Jopyful, happy, full of meaning yet sad, painful and meaningless.
Where does one go to find the answers? to religion?
To friends
To new goals
To work
To hobbies
To volunteering
To writing blogs that no one will read? Or rather a very few close persons will read and worry over.
Perhaps I must look deeply inside myself for the answers. But naval gazing has never been my forte. so is a Blog simply desktop naval gazing?
This leads to inevitable, important question...is it Naval OR Navel or does it make a difference to me as a former naval officer...see I have answered my question.
AH HA much like Ta Dah! an epiphany!As always, the answer is in the question. Seek and you shall find, Knock and it shall be opened unto you says the good book...at least some people think it is a good book, I wonder
Here I am back to wondering.
I wonder if there is anything that I can do to be of any value to my children that I have not already done when they were my "children" and not self sufficient adults pursuing their own path in the world.
I wonder, and wonder and wonder and hope and hope and wish and wish and worry and care and sit here and push keys because I can't be any other place at this time. Good thing I am happy. Soon enough I will have to be happy because I will be too old or infirm or unable to carry myself to other places or drive or even walk. As if happiness is not a good thing in itself, (which most would say it is). Be content with what you arre... or keep striving to be more. Which is the way.???
Auf Deutsch man sacht GENUG or in Israeli (not not written backwards) Toda raba laka) That is for all those who have endured to this point. Many thanks for reading my musings. I welcome your comments
