My minds musing?.....................what do you think?

Musing on a train

Sometimes, your mind decides to go wandering and explore possibilities you never expect to act on. And then it begins linking these random possibilities together. Monday I spent hours on a train gazing out of the window when mine started aimlessly tossing out suggestions. My reflection in the train window was looking at me and I hardly recognised it. One day I will have to move, the stairs will get too much, the house needs work, no cash to do work, never will have cash, who has these days?, no way of getting more cash, nearing end of working life, would have loved to travel more, don’t suppose I ever will now, every day I get older, what I do today could be impossible next year, wish I could stop work now, have a couple of years before retirement, what if I use up my last few good years working……………………………..The mind does one of those extraordinary flips and says , sell the house, spend every penny, travel till it runs out, then rent something cheap for rest of days…………………Then train stops, I reign in mind and get off.

Today, Wednesday, just two days later, I’m woken by a phone call from one of my best friends, she has been called back from her holiday by the police to identify the body of her sister. Her sister was about 45. I’m pretty shocked and can’t go back to sleep so sign on here, I read about Sugar, the lady who has been so ill for so long, it will all be over for her soon. Sometimes you understand the temporary nature of our existence, our mortality is real, and sometimes so very, very sad. My friend is going through hell, friends and family of Sugar must be suffering terribly.

Ok…………….so maybe the rambling mind had a point. Life is for living. Could international back packer become exploring granny with shopping trolley? I suppose this is just my mind taking its daily exercise again, but ...................
