Just thinking...

Hi all,

Happy Hump Day to all of you out there.  You're now on the downward side of the work week.  I'm sure that makes you all very happy. 

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.  I suppose that when you get old and sickly that's what you do to pass the time some days.  Don't get me wrong, I'm usually pretty busy with my writing, handmade cards or hand sewing projects, so I don't really have tons of free time.  But, I suppose that writing my newest book, Generation to Generation:  Passing It Onward, has got me to thinking about both the past generations, the present generation and future generations. 

Of course when it comes to future generations, I absolutely have no idea how things will be for them.  But, mostly I've been thinking about my Parents and Grandparents, along with my immediate family.  I sometimes wander what my Grandparents would think of the world the way it is today.  Since I only ever knew two of my Grandparents, and since they died when I was fairly young, I really never got to know them very well.  I wander if they'd be proud of me.  I do hope so, because I've tried very hard to be a good, honest, faithful and kind person. 

My Parents raised me and my siblings to always be caring, loving, understanding, honest and respectful of others.  They sent us to Catholic Schools, where we learned more of those types of things.  I'm not even close to being a perfect person.  I have faults, just like everyone else does.  I've never been one to hold a grudge and I've always tried to forgive those who have done me any harm.

I'm sure that if my Grandparents could come back in this world for one day, they'd be greatly surprised.  I also know that they'd wander what exactly all these electronic gadgets are and why people have them attached to their ears constantly.  I have to say that my cell phone is not attached to my body in any way.  Most days it's not even turned on.  Of course, I'm usually home so I do have the house phone in case I need to make or receive a phone call. 

I will admit that I do spend my share of time on the computer, be it my PC, my laptop or my tablet.  I do not spend even six to eight hours a day on them, but perhaps some days more than others.  I think the electronic world is great, when they work, that is!  When they don't, they are a pain in the butt.  If I knew how to fix them, I'd be okay, but unfortunately, I don't. 

I hope to have my newest book uploaded onto amazon.com within the next few days.  I think you just may find some interesting facts in it about Ethical Wills.  I explain what they are and give you suggestions on how you, too, can create one of your own.  I'll let everyone know when it's available for purchase or to borrow.

Try to take some time to sit and ponder on what you think your Grandparents and Great Grandparents would think about today's world, if they could come back for one twenty-four hour period.  I'm curious to know what you think.  I don't believe any of them would be very pleased to live in today's world with all this violence, hatred, anger, etc.  I wish I knew how to change the way things are today, but I truly have no idea.  How about you?

Stay safe and God bless you.
Susan
