Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… π
Hello Diary,
Managed to get the Covid and Flu vaccines without any issues (did not get the RSV due to technical issues), I asked the young lady giving the shots if she would have any vaccines for memory loss but she said she didn't but if she does I will be the first one to know… π π π π
Were tested the first of September for the flu, covid and rsv and they came back negative, so other than the aging process (in my 70's at the moment), sinuses, arthritis, I am good to go for now, no side affects at this time… there are some things I cannot do like I did in the past, but even with all the negatives, I will continue to enjoy life, chase dreams and hopefully help someone else do the same and be their rainbow… π
As I said in my last post, sometimes a burden can be shared by two (or more) in some manner, even if not directly, to let one know they are not alone on this ole 3rd rock from the sun… and I ask for nothing in return and most everyone does not realize I am helping (or trying to) in some manner.. π
For instance, I help my backyard friends get through difficult times by furnishing a safe an environment as possible with food and water… π
For everyone else, well, with a open mind and heart, I can be around to share thoughts and dreams, to share the good days and not so good days, should one wish to, no answers, no promises, just listen… π
And, of course, things I do around the home… every morning (like I have been doing for the last 21 years) regardless of the weather collect data from 10 different instruments and share with weather services, etc. to help them with daily weather and future weather with climate change, etc. so they can help everyone else… π
And as I have mentioned numerous times in the past, there are things and changes I do around the home, and along with other folk help deal will climate change and other issues... to work with others to settle issues and misunderstandings in peace, not with conflict, so they can follow their dreams their way being who they are and wish to be and believe...to hopefully help everyone "weather" through the storms, perhaps make the storms of life less strong and not so threatening… π
I donate time and funds (small as it may be) to reputable organizations to help others less fortunate get through the dark days so they too can follow their dreams and maybe even be a rainbow in someone's life… π
I do these things while most everyone, if not everyone, does not even know I am doing such things, always in the shadows while, quietly helping them share the burden in some manner and they are not alone... I do so not asking for anything in return, not for notoriety, fame or headlines.. even knowing not everyone will agree… π
Perhaps Adam Clarke and Simon and Garfunkel and Abba say it best, and yes, (even if only in spirit) "No matter the pain or suffering, it is always better if it's a burden shared by two, instead of a weight carried by one alone"… (Larry "Dutch" Woller).. π "Portrait of a Friend" I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers. I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care. I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall. Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; Yet I can share in your laughter. Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask. I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only think of you, talk to you and wait for you. I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place. I can't tell you who you are or who you will be I can only love you and be your friend (Adam Clarke)
Well, I had better close for now...life, adventures await and perhaps I may need to build a bridge or two...but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin' and the creeks don't rise… Hope your life's path is paved with peace, love and happiness and until we meet again… Not just another day on the road of life For in spite of time, distance or whatever, If only in spirit and thought We'll be sharing this day together. So, have a wonderful day, every day Wishing you all the best, nothing less, May today, every day, AND your heart Be filled…...with love and happiness. (Larry "Dutch" Woller)
