Soaring Spirits!

Good Morning! Sunday!

Was up quite a tid early; took our Blue out for his "constitution"; and the day took root. Alan usually takes our "puppy" (now 3 yrs young) for his am walks; however, thought he would appreciate an opportunity to sleep in for a bit.

Alan has really been helping his parents out; however, it does zap a bittidz of energy; given what he has to deal with; in championing for their best interests. There has not been a tid ounce of cooperation from his siblings, nor from the old age home / medical supervisors, the doctors in question, financial advisors, and the siblings' lawyer. Unfortunately, there has been a "conspiracy" between the siblings, the "guilty" doctors / old age home supervisors, and financial advisors. It is a "hornet's nest! A mess!" If Alan's parents have been treated in this shoddy manner, what about the masses of other aged folks, who are also being mistreated and ignored???

Alan's parents were "dumped" in there, and left to die. Period. And, they have been called "troublemakers". Why? Because they dared to inquire about their medications and so forth? Most of the older people are left to just wither away; they are but a calculated number in the money making system that eerily exacts their 'pound of flesh'. And, when they die, others solemnly take their place, and so forth. I tidbitz not here. This is serious stuff; not fluff. I hope that those of you who are experiencing this type of situation, take a courageous stand, and do what is just; particularly for the underdog. So many just gloss over things, and do not wish to be involved in what is not "comfortable" in their status quo.

Tidbit - Take a stand to help make a positive difference in someone's life. It may require you to think and act outside the box; and step out of your "comfort zone!"

Bittid - Family matters. For those of you, who have aging parents, please do not ignore them, or be indifferent to their needs, concerns, fears, problems, etc. Afterall, they are your parents, regardless. Remember, one day you too, will be "old". Do you want to be abandoned, forsaken, or forgotten, and then some?

It has been a rather heavy duty week; so it is nice today, to just appreciate a bit of R & R. It is a dark day outside; and the rain is fiercely taking over. Lit up a cheery fire; and, that brings such a tid of joy! Brightens up the whole room on these cool and forlorn days!

Speaking of parents, we will be seeing them today. They may feel happier to just come here and enjoy the gentle warmth of a cosy fire, whatever. However, since they do not wish to be "a burden"; they may still want to take us out to lunch. So, we will just go with the flow, and give them a nice afternoon!
