I wrote this in my journal this morning.

Creeping up very closely to 2021! Just 48 hours away from giving a relieved wave goodbye to 2020! 2020 was a truly terrible year! For the whole world actually - there was a wicked pandemic, a second great depression, so many jobs, businesses and lives lost plus the leader of the Free world was an orange, greedy megalomaniac! The rich got richer, the poor got poorer and discrimination reached a ridiculously high level. there's going to be a change in the White House. An experienced politician for president, with a mixed race female Senator as vice president. This could be a fantastic change for the better, but we need to get together to give them a sane Congress and keep them as honest as possible!

Making the most of the rest of my life...

Hello, my friends! The title of this post is rather melodramatic. I just somehow recently developed a sense of lack of purpose. Being unemployed has taken a toll on my sense of self worth In tne last day or so, I have decided to embrace this third stage of my life with warmth, compassion (for myself and everyone else).
I have recently become aware of a ceremony in the Unitarian Universalist community called the Croning ceremony or the Saging Ceremony.

I have decided that I do not need a job to fulfill my desire to be of use. So, I am calling this blog my vocation, well avocation, my life's work. I don't believe I've said this in print before, but I consider myself The Nursing Home Philosopher. Because really, I have nothing better to do than think. So Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Nietzsche, make space for a little sister!
