Within the period of your lifetime...what would you like to see happen?  A big question...a very big question when you think about it.

 Of course we would most likely say world peace....but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one knowing how everyone always seems to be at each others throats most of the time. We can only hope!
 
A cure for cancer..yes we would all like to see that. Everyone either has been touched by the dreaded disease, knows someone that has had it, lost someone because of it;  or indeed has it.
 
To end poverty? Knowing that the richest 85 people in the world have as much wealth as the 3.5 Billion poorest! Does that make any sense to anyone? I really can’t see that changing anytime soon.
 
Pollution is an on going threat as plastics and rubbish continue to pollute our oceans and really top of the list, something that will eventually affect us all, climate change.
The number one threat to our very existence on this planet.
 
There are so many things...so many we would really love to see happen in our finite lifetime. 
 
What I would like to see happen in my lifetime...my greatest wish is to know that we are not alone in the universe. I would love to know there are others like us “out there” somewhere!
If not exactly like us; in a form that we would recognise. A living breathing figure with knowledge. Maybe they would be more advanced than us...maybe not. No one yet knows.

Could it be that if they are more of an advanced race they may have already found a way to treat, to cure, illness before it even occurs. Instead of, like us, waiting with dread for that next pain and whatever and wondering if it could be some fatal disease about to attack us. Imagine if it were never to happen in the first place and they could actually help us with a greater knowledge for so many of todays other issues also. 
 
If another form of being was discovered it would change so many things...so many beliefs. It would change thoughts on religion I am certain. Maybe that would end wars as most wars are fought on religious beliefs.
 
There could be so many answers to yet so many unanswered questions..... I live in hope!

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think....

Peter and Malcolm...

                                                                       End of an era... Today it was something quite different. It was the scattering of a friends ashes, on an outgoing tide,  combined with the ashes of his partner Malcolm.  The two drifting out to sea together on yet another journey. Peter was an older man who, lets say, was at a complete loss when his partner of around sixty years died several years ago. They had spent a lifetime together since meeting in their twenties. They left New Zealand  in 1961 as young men on a lifetime adventure to England together by ship. It was a time when to be two males in a relationship was not understood, was not accepted, as it is mostly today.  Their life took on directions I'm certain would fill a book. Businesses, many beautiful homes t...

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess ...
