Well I've been a bit busy including a week in the USA, so no posts to the blog for a while.
My week in the USA was very helpful to me. I travelled with a chap who is very rich. At the end of the week I was just so glad to be me.
I had begun to worry about pensions and things, but there's no answer these days. If I end up destitute in my old age I would still rather be me, so no more worrying! I remember reading something about today having enough to deal with, without worrying about tomorrow or the day after.
Another thought that seems to have become prominent if a little obvious is that there is only any perspective in life when there is sadness. Strangely enough it relates to attempts to introduce a company car policy. We don't have one where I work, and I've been trying to suggest that we should. What happens is that everyone wants a better car than their previous one. Where does it all end? It rather reflects the Western method of prayer - we ask for things, then when we get them we want more or better. When do we ask for sadness so that we may have a true perspective?
