Disconnect: Now I Get It

Got a call the other day from the school regarding my grandson. During the conversation she commented on how a teacher sensed that he was disconnected and I asked what she meant. She explained that he seemed unable to focus which I thought didn't quite fit the word disconnect. When I was young it was you had your head in the clouds or you were off in your own little world. Now as an adult when I can't seem to enjoy anything that I do or see for longer than two seconds I kind of understand the word disconnect. I have somehow become disconnected to the world around me and I interpret it as being bored. It all seems pointless somehow and the intelligent part of my brain realizes that this is not really true. So you keep doing the things you are used to doing but are not connected. As for my grandson I am pretty sure he is off in his own little world most of the time and the trick will be getting him to engage in the one he lives in. With all of the electronic stimuli that we are assaulted with these days is it any wonder that class room work is just so not interesting?

Live Your Own Lives and Let Me Live Mine

She is the go between and she is tired. She has a hard enough time managing her own life without being put in the middle of other's. How did things end up this way and when will it change? There doesn't seem to be an end to it in sight and she is tired.
