(#6225) Another day around the sun

      I am pretty empty at the moment and I only have an hour to write today's post. So free thinking it is. I put my earphones in and am listening to Elton John's Funeral for a Friend. The instrumentation relaxes me and allows my mind to wander. Which is exactly what I need this morning because there is no clarity on a subject. I have to work today starting early this morning and the weather is heavy rain all morning long. I drive so it isn't like in my past when I was out in the weather doing production work. But driving in the rain is a bit dicey given that so much of the driving is on the freeway going from one city location to another completing my assigned tasks.
     I  move vehicular equipment around for the business that employs me. Trucks and trailers. There has been a lot of freeway construction here in my hometown which makes driving a bit more dangerous. For the first several hours it is rush hour traffic for most folks just trying to get to work and of course there are always those who drive like daredevils for the myriad reasons. I just keep my cool and do my part to get from destination to destination while also being courteous as much as possible. Most people are the same and what could be more difficult usually is just a bit inconvenient.
     Outside of me working today is the usual mess coming from our nation's capitol. I get a reprieve from it when I am on the job because with driving my attention has to be on edge. I do get some relief that way until I get home and then see the what has happened in my time away from it all. I consider myself an OCD type because my habits and actions are sometimes all encompassing intense. But after 7 decades I have a good handle on me. I temper myself with the fact that although time isn't necessarily in my favor it will occur and the current morass of inhumanity will be behind us much like traffic when I am working. On these days when my mind is in a resting state as it were and no topic is front and center with clarity I get to experience the free flow of thought and how I present it out into the public like now.
