What’s it all mean?

Too much is happening… the S&P ratings roller coaster has got my head spinning. How low will my 401K go? The whole concept of a sum of money sitting somewhere bearing my name has always fascinated me. Will I ever get to reap those financial returns? The closer I get to it, the closer to my own mortality.

I guess it’s a good thing that it’s still a ways off - my accessing money, that is. I know I could meet my maker any time. The dust balls will be someone else’s concern. I just hope if death came soon, the dishes in the sink would find their way into the dishwasher without my prompt.

It’s a treadmill - the need to make money to pay for those things we hold dear. The roof over our heads and of course the food we eat. So many people don’t have these basics so the concept of ‘having’ them both eludes me and perplexes me. I’d like to share, and do when I can. There’s always a fear of not having enough. That fear has become so commonplace that I don’t believe it’s a fear any longer.

It’s a fact of life that many people work to live. Yet, if my limbs weren’t able I’d have the issue of physical limitations to contend with.

I’m rambling but there’s so much to wonder about in the scheme of life.
