BLIND FAITH

      In my life, I have endured events that I thought would surely be the end of me. Deaths, divorce, job loss, homelessness, living in my car, the list goes on. I often wondered; why me, what had I done to deserve such fates. It always seemed as though everyone around me was gliding through life without a care. Now that I have reached the age of experience and wisdom, (and we all should be able to agree this happens sometime after 45yrs), I am again experiencing another of those life altering events, along with nearly everyone I know.

    Just 10 days into the new year I found myself free of the constrictions of being employed. No thank you, for a decade of loyalty, hard work, long hours, and mediocre compensation.  So in return, instead of going into panic mode, I’ve decided this is going to become some of the best times of my life. I will write my own playbook. I will learn a new language, walk 5 miles, read 100+ great books, sew, paint, build those shelves, just look forward to each day and see how much I can cram into it, I will learn to do the things I always wanted to do, but never found the time or just plain put them off.
       I am going to take a leap of BLIND FAITH. To follow my instincts, my heart, and make sure that from now on, I will never spend another day doing something I don’t want to do, or spend my time with people who do not appreciate me. Even if that means spending some time alone, so be it. I’ve always got my faithful Beagle. LOL ! Life is too short to let others decide it’s outcome. Best of all, I can stay up as late as I want. Nah, Nah, Na, Nah, Nah…LOL…….I have closed one door, turned around, and now face a thousand, smiling ever more.
