Shameful
I just loved the way President Obama excoriated the financial heads because of the "shameful" - his word - way they begged for a bailout and then gave bonuses to themselves. Shameful, indeed!
My own sense of shame comes from my seeming inability to move my butt off the sofa into the wide world outside. Four years ago, when I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure as a side effect from chemotherapy (the kind that makes you bald), I was asked to walk, just walk, for 40 minutes a day.
I used to be an avid, daily walker. No more. To get the wheels turning, well, the legs moving, all I'm asking for myself in February is that I walk TEN minutes, just ten measly minutes every day. More would be better, but I'll start with those ten.
Speaking of shameful, that's about how I reacted when I learned that Carolyn Heilbrun suicided at 77 for no obvious reason. She was wealthy and healthy and living in a warm, long term marriage.
I'm with you Barbara, I do NOT understand suicide... not at all. Life is just too precious to throw in the towel before the game is played all the way to the end.
