tomorrow it is

Sitting here in the ole chair looking out at a dismal looking morning that finally holds the promise of rain. Some had fallen over night, not much of course but enough to wet the porch and sidewalk. looking at the clock I notice that in 24 Hr from now I will be undergoing heart surgery to open one of the blockages. I am not fond of having any sort of surgery, but the idea of someone poking around in the ole ticker is even less appealing. But the alternative is worse and sometimes in life we need to select the lesser of two undesirable choices, simply because the outcome we actually want is just not a possibility at that point in time. I see this in politics all the time. I have not seen a really good candidate for a political office in many many years. So the choice is boiled down to having to choose from a rotten apple and a REALLY rotten apple. But there are other life events that are similar. Hard times limit a persons choices. When you have no money and the bill collectors are hounding you and you cannot buy food for your family, the choices you see are very limited and none are actually good or ideal by any means. Some people resort to robbery, which is probably the worst choice, some borrow money and get further into debt, then a very few individuals and I stress very few in this day and time, will knock on a few doors and ask if there is some sort of work the house holder may have in exchange for a little food or a few dollars. No not always good choices but we always have a choice. My choice is to try to live longer and regain my health so that I can again lead a somewhat productive life, given my own limitations. But still I do not look forward to the procedure. Sometimes we just need to "suck it up and bite the bullet" For that too is a part of life.
