Things I think about

First off - disclaimer: my Mother did not know what 'gumball's' dropping from my uterus meant and was worried I was being naughty. So for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term (which I'm very surprised) here goes... a woman is born with so many eggs in her ovaries at birth which is often compared to a gumball machine; each month another egg or 'gumball' drops from the uterus. Thats it. Nothing dirty. Oh, that Bobbie. Did I ever tell you that she thought she saw a guy I use to date on America's Most Wanted one night and called me in a panic?! Oh, that Bobbie. She is priceless.

Now to the real post...

I think about these things.

I think about being born and living in America especially now that elections are creeping up on us.

I think about the men who founded our country and how religious they were and how going to Independence Hall in Philadelphia where there are life size replicas of these men brought a tear to my eye.

I think about the various world religions and how each one thinks it is 'the religion' and how they are all similar yet different and why they are the cause of most wars in the history of the world.

I think about how I do not endorse the democratic initiative of healthcare reform.

I think about genocide in Africa and the fact that I'm not doing one thing about it.

I think about children who have started and will end their lives in an orphanage without any parents and without any love.

I think about global warming and what that means for the future.

I think about the gluttony in this country and wonder why we spend so much money on diet plans and nutritional supplements.

I think about coming to the end of my life and not feeling that I helped the major world problems and wondering how I can change that now to feel a productive part of society.

I think about why I have been told so many times that I am blessed to be born in America and what am I doing to give back?

I think about how selfish I am with my time and know I need to change that.

I think about my job and work and wonder if this is really what I was meant to do.

I think about energizing my body

I think about home cooked meals

I think about painting my bedroom walls

I think about buying a ladder to change my fire alarm batteries

I think about landscaping my back patio

I think about sleeping in

I think I'd better get some work done tonight...
