Home, Is this a quiet place where you should be alone? So its about three in the morning and I'm sure that my creative juices are running low at this hour, but its my first post and I figured why not give it a shot.
It seems like there are so many turns in life that tend to take me by surprise. I seem to keep making detours on the GPS of my life. It is funny how I easily I can draw in my own directions too. I mean, it never seems hard at the time to make a decision. To do something and not think too much about it. To take someone's bad advice or get a little road rage and follow someone in a different direction than I was headed, just to be a dick. (Maybe you haven't ever followed someone for cutting you off and I applaud you for being a saint.) It's almost scary how easy it is to get caught up in the moment of something and forget how you got there.
Its dangerous business walking out your front door. You never know what is going to happen. The saddest thing about that is that I know very few people that live with that in mind. I talk to people every day who are scared that they might loose their job, and no one seems happy that they have a job. When did we start taking so much for granted? It seems like there is so much that we have to be thankful for, but so little that we actually are. I have noticed this in myself lately and realized that I have so much to be thankful for. Why do I compare myself so much with what someone else has? When did it become ok for everything in life to be a competition or about fair and unfair? It's amazing how fast I push those directions in my GPS too. "Take me to....fair because this feels so unfair." The funny thing about it is, is that it totally doesn't matter. Sometimes things are just what they are.
I guess desperate times call for desperate mesures, but why are we so desperate? Why do I get so sidetracked on the little things in life. A small detour turns into a new destination, and I end up stopping in a different place all together. I have overstayed my welcome. The writing is on the walls, its time for me to go. Back on the highway of life....
I am excited to see where this road takes me. The hope I have for the future is ever so inviting.
Current Song: Dream On
Artist: Aerosmith
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
