and so it goes

I feel betrayed, and I know I am not alone.  After reading a chilling article outlining what Project 2025 is all about, I regret that I didn't pay attention last year.  Not that it would have mattered because it is what it is.  Voters decided that in November.   PS.  Let's just say it involves Musk and Russia.  It was a breakdown, per se, about what is in our future and how to best prepare.  Having a techno billionaire on your side never hurts.  The plan is already unfolding with thousands of federal employees being laid off or resigning because they can't stomach  what is happening.  And who betrayed me?  Both the Democratic and Republican parties, in different ways.  I won't go into that because I have talked about it until it's a moot issue.  Oddly enough, I do not feel betrayed by anybody who is an active part of my life.  I just finished a job that lasted about 3 weeks and ended because my help was no longer needed due to a positive turn in the client's health.  That makes me happy, believe it or not.  It is the nature of that vocational choice.

I think that home caregivers are a special breed and so are the clients.  Imagine losing your independence to the point that there are people in your house all the time.  No alone time.  No driving.  One of the things that limits me now is that I have vision problems to the extent that I was told NOT to drive.  And I damn sure obeyed.  It's not fair to others to keep on and on when it's not safe for yourself or others.  I have bonded with so many families over the years that I feel my time has been well spent.  Everybody loves their mama'n'them!  My parents detested having Ms. Faye here for 2 hours a day....that is, until lunch time.  Then she was daddy's BFF.

Anywho, back to Holy Week.  day 4.  Judas betrays Jesus by tipping off the religious leaders.  That was essentially the beginning of the end in this drama.  To think that Jesus knew this was all coming and went to Jerusalem anyway is the gift.  He knew he was going to die.  In his thirties.  For his belief in God.  Let that sink in.  This is what I personally believe but my psyche is not so fragile that I don't leave room for the beliefs of others.  

I will not be one to say "I told you so" when all these authoritarian acts affect YOU.  It won't bring me great joy at all.  It's just that I see it coming and you don't.  I pray that I am wrong.  Keep the faith ^j^
