Just When I Think I Understand.......

Just when I think I have an understanding on why people do the things they do and the decicions they make, I realize I have no idea really why we do the things we do. At some point in our lives, we all try and not be so judgemental on those we know little or nothing about, only what we read or see on tv. I like to think that if I were to be in someone's place when a disaster or something catastrophic happened, I would make the correct decision.

I thought I knew where I was going with this, but my train of thought just went out the window....lol...just a second......gotta clear the cobwebs here........do not adjust your set......ok, almost there....looks like I'm going to have to take a break.....

Well, it's now Monday and I began this post on Sunday afternoon before I ran into a case of 'writer's block". Just when I think I understand how life is, I realize I have no clue as to what I am doing sometimes and how I even got to this place in my life. What is important is that we try to make the best of what has been given to us, even if it's not much in the way of monetary or materalistic values.

Everytime I watch Rick Steves' Europe on PBS, I long to travel to the places he goes to, places filled with history and life; of people who live simple, keeping alive practices that have been around for generations and generations. To live in that existence with all the beauty and majesty provided by God, it appeals to me on a level that I long to experience.

Until we meet again,
