How do we support each other?

Friends support each other by caring enough to ask "How ya doin?" Often we say "Da ya need a hand?" or "What's up?" 

or "Wazzzz up!" This has been my experience with friends, and neighbors are friends too, right next door in RV parks most everyone is a neighbor, and many are friends. Often if ya have a problem with something, someone else has had that happen before, so ask around and likely your problem gets solved, either someone comes to help, or you go help someone else. Just the way it is. Period.

YouTube has helped us too, as many things that need fixing have a video fix already made there, and I'm learning to look there before tackling things, we'll sometimes 🤔

Yesterday, well Sunday before we went out for a visit I decided to take the microwave down to install a piece of trim that fell of while we were traveling across the southern USA. I said to Polly I'd do this when we returned, and after trying to install the trim with the microwave still in place, I realized I was going to have to take it out. Did I look on YouTube? Nope, I just decided to take this molding off, then that piece, then here there's what's holding it in, 4 screw's! 

So take out 2 then call Polly, "here hold this while I get these last couple out." "Well that was freaking heavy" Polly said as she held the microwave, as I quickly put the drill down and helped her. We got it placed on the stove, and then to the counter before I had to shower and get going for our visit with a friend. I know, not exactly how I shoulda done it, but sometimes my energy comes, and I have to work with it, as that's just me.

I got the molding reinstalled on the microwave, not how it is supposed to be, as the two tabs that it was attached by were both broken off, but I've learned many times, more ways to "giter done" than the way it was before. Polly helped me reinstall it, and it was heavy, but once supported by the bracket on the wall, and I helped her hold it till I got a couple screws it it, all went well. Polly is very happy, all polished up now, then she said "now I'm going to have to clean the oven! That'll be a big job" I agreed, but didn't offer to help 😆

What I started out with is the fact that we all help each other in life, really, we try to support each other as best we can, everyone in a different way, yet we care enough to help our friends and neighbors. 

Countries generally do the same across the country, help each province, or state, depending on how your countries divisions is labeled. 

My concern, as many of us have now is that instead of trying to help each other right now, countries are putting up barriers blocking each other, not helping each other. This really doesn't make sense to me. Just thinking if I was beside another RV neighbor, and they were struggling to get something out of, or into their trailer, I'd go give them a hand ✋ ✋ or two, I wouldn't put my truck in the way so they couldn't get it in or out! 

I might be oversimplifying this situation we are in right now, but geezz, I think the powers that be in our world 🌍 are loosing it! I shake my head daily thinking how we are really nailing a coffin ⚰️ shut by not helping each other, instead standing in each other's way. 

What can I do? How can I make a change in the direction our countries are going? Election, that's what's next for Canada. Will that change things for the better? 🤔 

I'm not sure, actually I'm not sure of much nowadays, so mostly I watch and wonder what's next? 

Then I go about my own stuff that has to be done, shaking my head as I go. 

Today I'm going to finish setting up my little tent,

so I can place my tools, 

then start on the few projects Polly wants me to do. Then I'll be on starting on a few others, and then more. This is something I can do, Oh and shake my head as I go, watching countries pretending they don't need each other, as many people in the countries believe they do need each other.  

How does the saying go, do to other's as you'd have done to you. Hmm, I wonder what's next? As always I'm hoping for better, will see what comes.

Love our life ❤️ even when unsure 🫤
