Out of nowhere

In case I haven't let it be known, I miss my heart, my compass, my biggest fan, my example of a strong woman...

This morning were waiting in line (this vacation theme is patience) to enter the dining room for breakfast and observed two waiters parking little scooters in the scooter parking zone (many elderly onboard). Rob smiled and said that it looked fun and I observed it was probably one of the few breaks they have,!

RANT ON (A whole other topic for later about the amazing warmth, attention and efficiency these guys & gals have that is more like a high end restaurant waiter than most any fast food entitled American employee and I can assure you these hard working men and women are not protected by any equal opportunity legalities or comfortable options that our country has come to expect and while you KNOE everyone has an off day, you will never see it on these amazing hard workers )RANT OFF

After watching them, seeing all the scooters I thought how that little red one looks compact but sturdy and wouldn't that be perfect for Mom.. I couldn't stop my thoughts and tears. See, I wanted to treat Mom to trips like this.. In an effort to involve her, I would FaceTime her from each port, sort of vicariously bringing her with me when I wanted nothing more than having her next to me. not fair., somehow I think fairness is like the theme for my life. I can remember that phrase being spewed from my mouth often and later just set to reverberating through my head when I realized the whine wasn't often well received. Sigh.. , it's definitely a reoccurring theme for as long as I can remember. I feel like I have an unfairness detector and I see it everywhere, a heart takes a beating silently with all the unfairness in the world. Perhaps I seek it out in an attempt to place my unfairness into the "not such a big deal" category when held up to genocide, trafficking, animal cruelty...

Do what you can as soon as you can. Tomorrow probably won't offer those opportunities that you feel you have to put off till then.

Thanks for tuning in.
