Sobering
Today there was a crew at our neighbor Bob’s home. My oh my. A second dumpster was set on the opposite side of the house.
There was not one person present that wanted a single item that they may have had an emotional attachment to that had been Bob’s. The dumpsters had a steady trek of people carrying items. Some items went to the curb. Soon it became evident that what was there was for the taking. I knew enough of Bob’s life to know, there may have been unwanted creepy crawlers within the items. Very sobering indeed.
I thought of the decades that I have been living next to Bob. A happy go lucky person that I could visit with across Stauffer Avenue. We were not close, but neighbors none the less.
When the first of the two dumpsters left, there was a large enough load that allowed the tarp to be tented and heaped over the top. That told a sobering story.
We all have our likes. We all have our possessions that we have accumulated. I am no different than anyone else. My prayer for myself, is . . . to keep it reasonable.
Happy weekend!.
