Called to check on Heinz and Gertrud this morning. Things are going as well as expected. If they have the strength to squabble they must be fine. Gertrude was happy that my eldest sister had called and updated her about my recently married niece. She also told me that she misses her daily walks to the post office. The weather was so nice, I understood where she was coming from. I hate to see her so housebound. I wish they would go out to buy an electric buggy for her. they have the money to do so, but Heinz is too cheap to let her have it since it would cost electricity to keep it charged. And Gertrude doesn't wish to argue with him. She knows it would be a constant battle. I have already tried to fight that fight for her, but have now found more wisdom in letting her fight her own battles. I am too tired for that. I have my own battles in life.
I have been pondering the meaning of life lately and not to be too much of a downer, but I understand that we were only born to die. That is the truth, since it applies to all of humanity. Some of us die sooner than later, but that is the only difference. So that leaves us with the choice of what do we decide to do with the days between birth and death. Every day we are here, it is a new choice for us. Our only responsibility is that we make the most of every day as much as we can. That is my conclusion.
