Thoughts at the end of the day.

Today I have been doing absolutely nothing when I have a few tasks I should be doing.
I think I procrastinate too much and I must get down and complete them.  Tomorrow morning I have to get up early and maybe I will get into clearing the backlog.

Yesterday Mr. Rudd announced a package to try and cushion pensioners from the present financial crisis. Yes I am on a disability pension and the $1400 bonus will help me but I do know of others in a much worse situation than I am in. There are some in this retirement village who solely rely on superannuation which has dramatically shrunk because the funds were caught in questionable investments in the current crisis. 

Well to be honest, I have been thinking about my future and I would like to spend more time with a person who has had a huge impact on my life. I have been alone for over a decade ever since my marriage ended in divorce. To complicate things, my ex-wife died tragically six and half years ago and this also has had a lasting impact. I moved in here rather reluctantly and although I have become accustomed to being single, I have had this void and no longer like being alone. A long-term friendship has developed into a deep mutual love and a desire to be in each others company.

Have you really considered your future?  Do you want to break out and try something different?  Or are you content with the status quo?  Yes I know what I would like yet without taking too many risks. Change comes whether we are prepared or not.  We like to be in control and feel threatened by anything we can't control. I know I am at the crossroads and I am the one who has to make decisions regarding my future. I am weighing up all the options.
