I feel like I'm on a treadmill

I’ve got no argument with what I’m doing, but it’s the same thing day after day that is starting to bother me. I think I’m up against an identity crisis. I’m suddenly realizing that being German and having a German name was very unpopular and makes me shy and hesitant to reach out to this day.

Past conversation with my daughter who was running in place on a tile floor in her socks:

“DADDY LOOK! I’M RUNNING FAST BUT I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!”

“You’ll have your entire adult life to do that, kiddo.”

“HUH?”

Have you thought about taking up a new hobby?

I might join another forum.

@PinCushion you are who you are and its a bit late to change your name now me thinks :thinking: Try doing something different today like going for a short walk to release your frustrations. Do something for you and talk to a friend

What kind of forum do you want to join? Do you have any fun hobbies?

I want to eat my words. I was being very unappreciative. I really have it good, now, and there is no reason to complain. Just being a Scrooge on Thanksgiving. My apologies.

Most people I ever knew, were proud to be German. But I understand why you say that.

I need to take up reading, again.

Pretzel. Es ist eine Ehre Dutch zu sein. Translated pretzel it is an hourner to be German…

I wish Roosevelt had thought the same.

Forget the past Germany is a free and democratic nation today.

I should remind you I’m a German American. My father was a German immigrant who lived in the US during WW2. He was not treated well. I was born in 1944. The war made the family very nervous is all I remember.
