View From the Road
 Today is Sunday, as I write this article, and the television is on. The amount of political news shows that fill the airways is amazing. Each election year I become worn out from the constant barrage of this coverage.
The real issues that we face as a nation are put to the side, talked about, but not acted on. I thought as I matured that I would be more involved in this process, but I find myself constantly looking for something to relieve my mind from heavy threats of change.
I say threats, because the types of change that are promised are not what I am necessarily looking for. My personal needs and wants aren’t what the nation probably wants, but I am looking for a benefit that will make my life better.
I know this sounds a little selfish, but I feel as I get older my personal needs and comforts have become a big deal.
Long ago I did not understand the dynamics that I would recognize as time passed by. I have determined that the happier I am about life, the better life is for all around me.
Recognizing this has been a big growth for me.
Throughout my life I have had older friends that lived in this mindset. I have finally reached the point in my life that I accept this. Now that I am one of the more mature groups, all this is more apparent.
As I wander the state in the process of making a living, I keep my needs and comforts in mind. I have noticed that my “views” are much more fun when these things are considered.
The next few months we will face many more advertisements and political shows, so hold on for the promises of a lifetime. I will probably be reading more books and doing things that will aid in my sanity, politics are not my cup of tea.
My “View From The Road” will be looking for calm and tranquil settings.
