I forget that when I’m thankful for all the great stuff I have in my life, then I tend to be happy. I am one of the majority of people in the free world that fall for a fallacy where people think that if you have something you will be happy. It’s always something stupid that I don’t need at all. Normally it’s something like pizza or a load of wings – a totally fleeting thing that would be a moment of joy when I’m consuming it, but then it’s gone, and I feel the need again for the next thing. I’m getting better with this. I try hard to remember life is about the interactions we have with friends and loved ones. It’s about being in the moment and just experiencing life while listening to music in the dark and only being alive – no expectations or desire. These are the good moments in life. Like the good moments, the good, or in today’s case, great days, come when I’m grateful for the things I have and always will have. All we need is love is rather true – when we know we are loved there ...
Broken garbage bins graveyard. The city seems to have wanted to hide them, so they placed them across the road from the city barns where they keep the sand and so on stored. They are hidden behind a pile of sand way at the back of a road not many go down. to think of all that tax money spent on bins that break so easy. There are 2 of the big ones in the back of my building for us to use. They have both been replaced twice that I know of. One of the new ones no longer has lids on it. They are broken off. What can one say? They just are not made to work in an environment where they are exposed to the cold. But then again the lids broke off our new one in the summer... Sigh...
So sad.
ReplyDeleteWe spent millions of this and keeps spending piles of money on a system that does not work. Yes it's sad.
DeleteSo much for local authorities being green. These are obviously not gonna be recycled by the looks of it
ReplyDeleteYes a bunch of council members ran on the idea of recycling in the city. So they got in, added on a hidden tax threw the water bill to pay for it and here we are with literally a tone of plastic sitting in a city yard doing nothing. They are recyclable - I looked... So why are they just storing them in a hidden place? Sigh... BTW we don't get recycle bins in the apartment building at all. So I just toss it out. Only the houses got the bins. Best thing is ALL the water bills went up not just the houses...
