A Little Off

I just noticed that the datelines for some of my posts are off. What was posted on Wednesday showed no dateline at all. What was posted on Thursday showed that it was posted on Wednesday.

In the grand scheme of things, does this really matter? Only to OCD types like me! Ten years from now, or even a week from now, who will even remember. Except me. I'll probably obsess over it for a while. Which is, of course, ridiculous.

There are a lot of things in our world that are a little off. A lot.

Politicians are making a big deal about immigration reform. I wonder why we need another immigration bill when we don't enforce the laws already on the books. What makes anybody think another law will be any different?

It's been raining off and on (mostly on!) for days. And it's pretty cool up on this mountaintop most of the time. That's not at all typical for July.  The weather is a little off.

Even the way I walk is a little off.  Ever since my ankle fusion surgery a few years ago, one leg is ever so slightly shorter than the other. Which means the way I walk is just a wee bit off.

When you get right down to it, the whole world seems a little out of kilter. We are overrun by selfishness and political correctness and greed ........the list could go on and on. Our focus is on the wrong things. On the wrong people. And because our focus is skewed, our world is just a little off.

If only. If only Blogger would get the dates right on my posts. If only the weather was what I would like it to be. If only I hadn't had my ankle fused. Or hadn't broken it so badly in the first place. If only politicians wouldn't act like.....well, like politicians.

If only we had our focus in the right place. If only we weren't a little off.
