As the days
fly by one by one and the list of projects not finished gets longer and longer I
think about how life is getting more complicated.
Purchases
that used to involve a simple trip to the store can take hours of searching the
internet, days (or weeks) of waiting, and much to much time on the phone trying
to find out why it hasn't been delivered yet.
A request or
information that used to get answered by a simple phone call can takes days, even
weeks, because cell phones and email are so much more easily overlooked or ignored
because of shear volume.
And how
does a person plan anything when to get something serviced or repaired now consists
of first come first serve then waiting for hours instead of getting an
appointment and a ballpark timetable so you could plan the rest of your day
around it.
When did paying
for shoddy goods, getting shoddy service and being treated rudely become so
common place and acceptable and how did we allow it to happen.
grant me
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
to change
the things I can
and the
wisdom to realize
that
counting my blessings instead of complaining and worrying
is the only
way to get out of this life without going insane
AT THE END
OF THE DAY...thank you for letting me vent...now back to your regularity scheduled
day.
