Update?

It's been a while since I posted, but not for lack of trying. I have started probably 5 or 6 posts, and then just deleted them as I don't seem to be able to get the message across that I am wanting to, not able to express myself, for whatever reason.

Today will be no different, as I don't really know where this is going, other than I need to post something.

Saturday was a very quiet day. Saw my mom in the morning, then went home, spent some time in the garage / workshop working on a book stand for Luciano and Tayla, then chilled upstairs. Didn't even consider going to the poker game, not even to say hi to the guys. Apart from which, it was cold, and I didn't feel like being outside.

Sunday was spent with my daughter and grandchildren, lunch was at her brothers house, and so also relatively quite. Changed a garden tap for them (can't believe some guys have zero tools, as in not even a shifting spanner), and can't change a garden tap. No matter, took me all of 3 minutes after we went and bought a new tap.

The little one took her first few steps on Friday, so yesterday every time she stood upright, all cellphones were out to try and film her walking. Needless to say, all she did was laugh, and sit right back down! She sill be walking by next weekend for sure.

From there, a quick stop at the Dinky's to see my friend and the boys there, with their kids. Always so welcome there, it's nice.

Then home, and back into my own quiet, warm space.

So, not much going on. 

Back at work today, where we have an empty order book. I have 16 staff sitting around waiting. I'm hoping the boss got his loan from the DTI so we can start getting material and making stuff. Otherwise this place will be closed before Xmas, if that long.

Anyway, will post some more if something comes up.

Keep warm, and write something.....

 Control

Not sure why, but driving home yesterday from visiting with the grandchildren, I go to thinking about control. Not sure if it was a song playing on the radio that set it off, but it matters not.

AI on Google says it refers to the ability to direct or regulate something, person, object or process. Or the power or influence one has over others, or the action of restricting or influencing something.

But, in any situation the point of control is influenced by another external action. Let me see if I can put my point across.

Control of a process - You can switch a machine on or off, but if someone else had disconnected the electricity, that machine will not run.

Control of object - You can throw a ball, but the distance it goes is dependent on how strong you are, how heavy the ball is, if there is an object in the way, etc.

Control of person - You can instruct someone to do something, but if they refuse, it won't get done. You can then threaten them, but that involves a different action, from you and or them, so you have not been successful in controlling them.

Anything I can think of that involves control of some sort, can be impacted by a third party, thing, which means, to me, that we are never fully in control.

Not of people, things, processes, emotions, nothing.

Think about it   - be safe and be blessed.

I think I might be back to add to, expand this thought.
