First of all, we've had an eventful week here with the election process and the results. Heads up, I'm one of several who have become a bit disenchanted by the circus ring our politics has turned into. The last three elections have been difficult choices for me because of that. I have pondered several days prior to the election about how I'd react if things went the less desired direction. Will I be scared about the future? How will I deal with future problems should they arise? I didn't really have a straight answer for any of these or other questions, but in my reflection, I realized that it's not in my favor nor anyone else's to let fear of what may or may not happen get hold of me. What happens outside of my control will happen whether I'm scared or not. I have accepted that things must go forward, and I'm at peace with it. I will deal with what's in my power, which may not be much, but at least I know I will do so with the best of intentions and conscience.
Secondly, and you may think I'm Puritan-minded for thinking this, I've been a little bit disturbed by a certain trend society has on making certain jokes concerning the human body, in particular the reproductive areas. Part of it may be that I was raised by parents who grew up in a time when sex wasn't a topic to talk openly about, and another part of it has to do with having a religious belief that the body is a sacred vessel. I also find those jokes too sex focused and are disrespectful toward both male and female bodies. I don't want to go on much longer on this subject for the moment. I can already see some eyes rolling out there by some people claiming I have no humor. Those who say that clearly don't know me. I have laughed at plenty of things, but when it goes dirty, that's where I draw the line.
There may be other thoughts stewing through my mind, but these are the hot topics right now. Thanks for putting up with my thought regurgitation (eww!!).
Now on to a new day!
