Mental Health Support

has to have a lingering effect today.

Wife and I are laying low today, later I will cook some burgers.

I need to reread some Ekhart Tolle who says that the only thing that is real in the NOW, the present moment. Feeling bad about the past and worrying about the future isn't real, it is a concoction of our subconscious mind.

So I went outside and pulled weeds from our flower garden. I put up a marker for one of our outside cats who passed away last week. He had the disease that his immune system doesn't work and our vet 12 years ago suggested we put him down, we obviously disagreed and gave him 12 extra years.

We have a parade in our small town every 4th, mostly fire trucks, logging trucks and garbage trucks that throw candy to the kids. The street was lined with chairs along main street yesterday afternoon saving their spots.

I think back 50 years ago when we had our Democratic Rep and Republican Rep both rode in the same convertible in the parade. Now, I have to write in the name of a Democrat come election time.

Reading Buddhist books helps me out also. With the state of our country today they would be saying, this too will pass.

I want you to know that I enjoy your posts here, I liked one of them today. Not sure if it is positive for you to have me liking your posts, I am a bit of an outcast.

The country went to hell but there are still more of us than there are of them.

Take care, think my other outside cat misses his buddy, I'm going to celebrate the 4th and go out and comb his hair, he's 13 years old.
