hmmm…..
Paul Simon has released a new album called “So Beautiful or So What”. A video of the tract “The Afterlife” is already out. It’s an interesting tune that explores what it would be like in the first moments we got to heaven. I guess that is something that we think about as we get older. And Paul Simon is getting older.
Something else we think about as we get older is our financial condition and our budget. A recent survey said that 44% of baby boomers do not feel that they have enough saved to retire. The common solution seems to be to cut the household budget and to work longer. Cutting the budget is something the federal government also wants to do right now. In fact, the disagreement is so strong that there is a possibility that no compromise will be reached and that the federal government could shut down for a time. My guess is that will not happen, that in the end a compromise will be made and life will go on.
That is something we learn as we grow older, life will go on. A friend of mine lost his political office and had to move to another state to gain employment. He announced today that he and his family had closed on a new home in his new state. Thankfully, his life and his career will continue to do good for those around him.
Paul Simon may be thinking about heaven. But for most of us still here on earth, jobs may come and go, budgets may grow or shrink, politicians can agree or disagree, but life does go on.
hmmm…..
