Is this where I start falling apart?

Well the blood pressures is out of control. I decided to stop my med because it was causing an annoying cough. Did check with the Doc. but forgot to hold up my end of the deal by checking it daily for 2 weeks and let him know. When I remembered it was off the charts. Started on a new med. not working so far.
I quit taking my cholesterol Med because it was causing muscle weakness and cramping. Again. Doc knows. said to check it in 2 months which I just did and found it to be 379. Doc and pharacist in a huddle to see what`s next. Will start Zitia when it comes in.
Cardiologist called yesterday said they need to see me . They have an opening today at 1:10. Must have had a look at some labs or something
I already have an appointmemt at 11:15 with the ophthomologist because I can not see very well out of one of my eyes. So today is look at granny day. I feel fine . My eye is my #l concern.

Before I forget

The antics of the "The Little Guy" this past Monday. First of all he has this obsesion with the phone. When it rings he runs all over looking for it. I answer it and put it back up high so he can`t reach it. He looks at me, puts his hand on his hip., and the pouty lip comes out like "how dare you?" ( He is l6 months old.) Next he discovers that he can throw anything over the kid barrier to the downstairs and listen to it bounce all the way down. Really fun for granny to retrieve said objects He is very leary of the cat. Walks way around her in a circle and she of course honors him with her most vicious hisssss which throws him into a heart wrenching wail . Well this time he hissed back at her and she ran. Such satisfaction on his little face. He learnead how to put the legos together after weeks of trying. He learned how to push the button on the Sesame Street toy to make Elmo come out and sing. He is a joy to us once a week. It takes the two of us to keep up with him. He has so much fun with PaPa`s walker, cane, reacher and automatic chair that goes up and down by pushing a button!! Life is good on both ends of the spectrum.

Evolve Or Disolve

I have been studying on the year plan of reading I established at the new year. It has evolved into other reading which alway happens. I read an essay on Aristotle`s Picture of a Flourishing Human Life based on his work "Nichomachean Ethics". He was a pre-Christian philosopher who lived and taught in Athens in the fourth century bce. It was unrealistic even in the time he wrote it but it does have valid possibilities. The aim in part was to keep government in the hands of ordinary people and to prevent the formation of elite groups who would serve only in their own interests.

Then I read an article called "Alchemy of a New Humanity." by Barbara Marx Hubbard. She shares a contagious conviction that the universe is coming alive, that we are in the midst of a quantum shift, and that we area collectively engaged in transforming the cosmos. The possibility we are approaaching is what she calls conscious evolution, the awakening of the spiritual, social and scientific potential of humanity, in harmony with nature for the highest good of all life.

These two readings got me to thinking. We obviously, as a civilization , did not go the route of an Aristotelian Life. We are now facing the concequences of a people run amuck in greed, ignorance of plundering the planet instead of using it as a friend. It can no longer heal itself, we have made it to ill. Our children have not had the top priority in health, education and welfare. They are our future. We have not invested well in our greatest asset.

All is not lost however We are at a point in our evolution as a species where we can turn the tide of evolution through Cosmogenesis. We are facing a New Crisis world wide in economics, wars, and global warming. This is not necessarily a bad thing. When the going gets tough the tough get going. I feel there is more good going on then adversity, even though we are made aware only of the adversity through the media. We are now at a point where we must evolve by working together to save ourselves and our planet or we will be disolved.
