Sunday Morning
My internal alarm went off at a little after 6:00 and I knew I have plenty of time before getting up to play golf.
My 4-hours of peace coming.
I didn’t sleep all that well because Sam went out last night and I always need to know that everyone is safe.
I texted him late but he didn’t text back.
“Sam’s phone is dead, but he’s all right,” my beautiful wife sent along.
Reason two why I slept lousy?
Animals!
With Sam out I had three scattered around me. Melky is my usual guest, but Paris and Miller were there too.
So, I rested before rising.
Went to Twitter and read all the nonsense about the post office being under attack.
I never thought I’d live in a time when American institutions were straight up attacked as those who abhor such a thing would line up behind the man destroying it all. They’re waving the American flag as everything it stands for is obliterated.
There’s not a lot I can do about the ENTIRE world. When I was young I thought I could write a book that would change everyone.
I tried!
Every single time, I tried!
Yet, somewhere along the way, I understood that I could make my little plot in life a little better and that’s enough.
Considered my wife who is really battling. Her body has betrayed her and I’ve spent a lot of my days trying to help her stay above the rising tide.
Not a lot of fun.
So, on Sunday morning, I took stock.
Sam, Jake and Matt all safe in their beds.
My senior dogs, coughing and a whole lot weaker, but still game for their ride.
A golf ball waiting to be hit straight.
A country in utter turmoil with a good percentage of the people willing to let it burn.
And an unwavering belief that if I put my feet on the floor I can still help improve things...
...somehow.
The sauce is set.
I’ll call my Mom. Interact with my siblings and children.
And fight a little before resting.
What else can I do?
