It must be clear to most any body that we all have our little demons to battle with daily. That these lines are words coming from the heart and mind of one who has been around the block as the they say a time or two. The lessons have not come cheeply nor without pain. But am I finished learning? Not by a long shot, in fact the very act of writting these lines is a practice in confession and sharing. I call my addictive side my "black dog" I am still trying to tame the dog(we can never get rid of it). Taming is like saying to a kid, only one piece of candy, only $10.00 worth of rides when we go to the amusement park and being steadfast enough to follow through with it. Do you suppose someone has that magic pill that can keep me consistant with my diciplines for the dog? Is there a short cut to loosing the wieght you need to lose? Can I tell my dog no 99 times out of a 100? Well that is what it takes to stay the course of winning the battle within, and none can do it without a higher power to help.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
