Midweek reflections:
A spiritual pilgrimage
Desired but not yet taken.

What's one place in the world you have yet to visit, and have absolutely no intention of ever, ever going? Why are you so adamant about never visiting?

There are numerous places on Earth that I want to go and intend to go. Unfortunately, the problem I have in going to these places is money. At this point in my life I'm considering giving up the idea of going to any of them physically. I might be able to visit them virtually or in my dreams, but, unless my income increases, I doubt that there is a chance I'll ever be able to go to any of them. When Mom was alive I had to take care of her, so I couldn't level the state or the country. Now I'm barely surviving on my Social Security with the help of my sister. I could use some more help, but I'm fairly sure that's not going to happen. Right now all I want to do is cry which isn't going to help increase what little income I have. On the bright side, I did get a $2.00 a month raise in my Social Security which won't even purchase a gallon of gas. I don't want to give up the idea or hope of going to Israel, but I'm beginning to think that's what I'm going to have to do.

Dreams have no expiration date. Do you agree with this statement?

Ordinarily I would agree with this statement; however, this is January 4 of the worst financial month of the year. In January my car tags come due, which means a smog tests. Also this month the power bill is about three time the amount I've been paying because the last six months the leveled the amount which means that anything over what I paid went to the end of the leveling time that ended after six months. As a results of all this, I want to answer the question with "Dreams do have an expiration date." However, if I give that answer then I'll be giving into the darkness. I can't give into the darkness because I know that dreams do come true and usually not in the way I expect. My answer to the questions is "Don't give up because the only expiration date to dreams is the date you say "I give up."

Write about moving home.

Moving home
is a state of mind
and not transferring your stuff
to a physical location on the planet
because home is a mental and spiritual attitude.
