What if

I was just wondering what if... My wife does not even know my insurance agent. When I told her I had life insurance she just looked at me like I was crazy. She grew agitated when I proposed she look into getting a policy herself. It was distressing to say the least. Her disregard for financial matters exceeds what most would call unnerving.

I am smart enough to tell my sister and ex- wife what the deal is.

I have not been a great ally to my blog. Not that I did not think about writing; I do, just that more often than not the words get in the way.

Another what if: What if I stopped helping my "friend" with her homework? What if I stopped answering her calls and emails? What would my loss be?

As I practice yoga, my spirit is settling and I am seeing people for what they are. Few care about me... One person that does actually is a acquaintance I made at work some years ago. She says things to me that no one else has, she is sincere, yet there is no ask, no need for me to fulfill for her. If anything, she has been there for me when I have needed her at work but I doubt she would leave me hanging of we became friends one day... Not that I need anything from anybody, but it would be nice to know that one day should I, somebody will care.

Growth

Not always the easiest part of life. We struggle with our perception, often devoid of actual facts. We fail, we judge we jump ahead only to find ourselves in an inexorable fall that propels us to the depths of an abyss that is oft bottomless. Our hopes anchored on the possibility that we may have goofed and that somehow light will appear and our landing will be soft.

Clarity stems from growth. Sometimes I am full of clarity, recently I seem to be misjudging my intent. I must redirect my energy and seek a way to better harness my energy so as not to continue the folly I am subjecting myself to.

Punishment

I wonder how long I must endure a situation I am tiring of. Do I do as others and settle into quiet desperation, smiling while I know that my life whithers away unfulfilled in this aspect. I, like many others will miss the train and watch it depart the station never to come back.

How do I cope with this sort of loss?

Bocones

Acaso crees que nadie te escucha? Conversaciones telefonicas, sin importar cual idioma no te eximen de discrecion. La arrogancia no traduce al descuido, sino a la imbecilidad.

Do you really think that nobody is listening? Telephone conversations regardless of the language they are conducted in do not mean you should not be discrete. Arrogance does not translate into being careless, rather being an imbecile.

Settling scores

Probably not a good idea to use Facebook to call out people you have differences with on. Perhaps you succeed in embarrassing them, however, why make us aware of your own bad judgement, etc.?

I have unfriended a lot of people owing to the drama roll I see when looking at the newsfeed. It gets very tiresome.

Bicycle rides

Hitting my stride with bike riding. I see a lot of people riding quickly. There is so much to take in when you are riding past beautiful river views and enjoying the trees and pastoral vistas. Currently holding at 11 miles an hour, which is fine for me.

Funny, Thursday I was in New York City and now back home in New Hampshire, I enjoy them equally.


I am a man of the city, a Man of the country... Looking forward to hitting 40 miles on my rides (distance).

A little too sanitized for my taste (we are sitting at a mall called "Town Center" but nice cool weather feels good on the bones believe it or not! Sipping on coffee helps!

Recapturing Scale

I Moved the family to New Hampshire three weeks ago. I am happy. We celebrated the 4th at Holman Stadium in Nashua and were able to enjoy music and fireworks as close as it gets' in years past we struggled to get a good spot on a hill in Larz Anderson Park to watch the proceedings from about 6 miles away. Today I got my driver's license in under 30 minutes and drove back to the office in another 30. The state may appear crowded judging on southbound traffic during early morning rush hour. Yet it is not, life is pleasant and neighbors were quick to greet us on our first day in town. I lived for 5 years in Newton and was never greeted by neighbors in my building except for some actually returning my good mornings.

I like not paying state income tax yet having great roads to drive on, decent schools, parks, etc. I realize I have only been here for a short while, the scale is my speed. I have no need for throngs of people. Did NYC, now it's my time.
