Ripples

Looking outside it’s kind of a drizzly damp morning. The usual cloud break we get by mid-morning is all but gone. So I have resigned myself to looking at the dull whites of the clouds and the faded green of the trees and plants. After what can best be described as a restless dream filled night. I woke up to a hot shower and changed the bed sheets after a long weekend of being a home body. At the moment, my attitude is much better than it was this morning, I assume the hot water and the shave done the trick.

If willing, I’m faced with a full day of phone calls and enquiries about various pieces of mail I received Friday and Saturday. Dealing with both my health insurance supposedly getting cancelled and getting my copiers ink shipped to the wrong address. Both of which will be time consuming and labor intensive. This on top of the missing $800 money order the Postal Service can’t seem to trace. Other than that, I am doing okay.

I don’t mean to sound so blasé about the whole thing, but I got bigger fish to fry. Like making sure both my wife and son’s needs are being met. My wife has a doctor’s appointment tomorrow while our son has a physical the following week. Along with little things like seeing if our son can go back to work training at Easter Seals. And that the ever changing rules for my retirement will finally stop changing month to month.

But as you’ve seen me write 100,000 times, “It is what it is”. I guess I’m saying all this to say, “It only takes one drop of water to cause a ripple across a pond”. So if you feel like nothing is getting done in your situation, don’t give up. Create more ripples and more ripples, until a tidal wave of change wipes out the landscape of injustice.
