This week four different people - not consumers of my agencies services, but co-workers, friends, general civilians - asked me for assistance with Medicare and Social Security .......and I suddenly realized that I have a valuable, probably saleable, skill!!! Work if I'm laid off! Work in retirement! Work from home! I was abuzz with yet another great idea!
I'm exhausted.
Three great ideas in three weeks - what's going on here?
I know I watch too much news. And all this transition, renewal talk- and all the financial news with its desperate looking urgency...makes me want to get busy. But after the build up and enthusiasm, what happens is something like "increased tail pipe emmision standards".....in which I have no participation at all! Yes, I like it...and I see the value of it, etc. etc.....but it's pretty darned remote and abstract in day to day life....What .... do I enthusiastically admire my air and watch for signs of change? I certainly can't go out and buy an electric car....
I'm eager to experience a change...participate in change...do something. I want to recover from having been told to "go shopping" in the last crisis.
(an aside: just now typing that last sentence, I realize that working at the madhouse I felt like I was always being told to "go shopping", too - whenever I tried to actually do some 'work'.....man, I hated that!)
So that's why all the great ideas....I'm pulling for a real change in the economy ... and I want to participate in something different...something practical that produces effects I can see.
And at the same time, I'm practically frozen in action. I generate a random idea and that's it....nothing action wise....I'm not doing anything at all besides going to work, taking care of the home front and balancing my checkbook obsessively.
Strange times. All potential and rising winds.
So anyway. Just wanted to let you all know that if you need a hand with Medicare and Social Security - I'm actually skilled at that! Whooo Hoo! Contact me for an appointment....on my day off my regular job, of course.

In case you missed the news. The Governor announced that closures at Pueblo, Ft Logan, and the prison system will be part of his plan to balance the budget.
Seems like services to people in need are always the first to go. And this followed the article in Sunday's paper about how many psych beds have already been cut in CO over the past few years. I'm guessing CO will drop even further down the list of poor service for the mentally ill.
Yes, indeed! It's time for advocates to step up and create solutions! Get Busy!
