And I’ve
often wondered why it takes so much longer to drive to a vacation destination
that it does to get home. I know that when my mom, sisters, and I go on our
girls’ trip, we often make side trips on the way to see special places. Once we
head home, we generally make a beeline. That partially explains how that works,
but I’ve noticed that trips to Kansas City or St. Louis seem the same with no
sightseeing along the way. Is it because we feel we are “almost home” when we
get into familiar territory?
Stuff
that makes me think: How can people raised under the same circumstances look at
the world so differently? Why do some members of the same family have different
prejudices, political leanings, and different standards of morality?
More
stuff … Why do some good people die young, while lowlifes live to a ripe old
age? Why do children have cancer? Why do some people lose everything through no
fault of their own, while others have the Midas touch?
Why are
lives disrupted by horrible diseases like Alzheimer’s? How could a person who
had many talents, intelligence, and a wacky sense of humor lose it all due to a
disease that scattered plaques and tangles throughout the brain? How could Jim
lose his ability to play his guitar and sing, when that had been a major part
of his life since childhood?
Why do
some of us think about everything and wonder why life is as it is, instead of
its full potential? Yet, others waste no thought on abstract ideas? Why do some
of us see ourselves as a small piece of a puzzle, and others believe they are
the puzzle maker?
I wonder
why some of us are empathetic to the less fortunate, and others care only about
“they selves” as a country song says. Are narcissists and sociopaths more
common, or do we just realize that’s what they are now?
As I’ve
gotten older, I notice that time manages me instead of me managing time. I used
to try to get things done as soon as possible, but now it seems that I won’t do
today what can be put off until tomorrow.
When Jim
was in the nursing home, people often asked me how I managed to work fulltime,
take care of Jim every day, get a college degree, and volunteer for the
Alzheimer’s Association. Could I have had magically had more time then than I do
now?
Sometimes,
thinking about stuff can make me tired. The good news is that my mind is still
working. The bad news is that the rest of my body is having a hard time keeping
up with the thoughts and ideas flowing through the neurotransmitters of my
brain.
