January Ends

Here it is almost the end of the first month of the new year. Time is just flying by, literally! I read somewhere, that the closer we get to the "end" of our life, whenever that is, time appears to go faster, because, well, we are closer to the end of our life. I remember when I hit 50, it was the realization that I had already lived OVER half of my life. I was closer to the end of my life than to the beginning of it. I accept, because what choice do I have, that the end of my life is imminent. Death & taxes! Oh by the way, tax season is upon us. UGH! The whole election process this year has made me more aware of how the outcome affects me. While I feel so very fortunate to have a job, and basically support myself, what does my future hold? I am single income so I don't see retirement in my near future, but, physically, how long can my body hold out, what about my mind? The reality is that I can't do massage, not physically, and at this point, I have forgotten so much of what I learned that I really don't feel comfortable giving someone a massage, and be confident that I am addressing the client's needs. Besides, I have not renewed my AMTA insurance (costs money), and my AZ massage license expires in June (more money). In order to renew my MT license, I have to take CEU's, yet, more money! It is cost prohibitive to absorb all these costs! Anyway, getting back to the election, Trump will never be my president. I don't like what he stands for, his total lack of integrity, he is a liar, is not in touch with us, the American people, and he is basically, a narcissist. I feel I had to unfollow some FB friends, I just don't want to read that type of rhetoric, not on my page. My choice.
