Tomorrow
Tomorrow is 9/11/02. Exactly one year since the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the almost White House attack.
So much has happened to the world because of it. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday that it happened, other times it seems like so long ago. One thing is for certain, it has changed the world so much and the innocence of this country is long gone.
As for me specifically, well, I have to thank my lucky stars for having the type of family and friends that I have around me.
But wait....before I continue sounding like I just won the Miss America pageant or something...I want to stop right here and think for a bit.
Think about how many times I've stressed over crap that really wasn't worth stressing over. Think about the times when I've bitched about stuff that I just wanted... like right away and didn't get. Hell, I was going to live without it....quite well in fact. But no, I had to rant and rave for whatever it was that I wanted - or even thought I needed.
Hmmm....sounds like confession ? Guess so. See, I do believe that, like prayer, one can sort of "come clean" with oneself at any time in their lives. Be it while at home by yourself or in the middle of a crowded train heading to work.
Must stop and just breath for a second and put things in perspective. Then and only then will I get a grip on things in my life. Whatever it may be. Petty or otherwise.
End of Prayer (or as some would call it " end of coming clean with self " ).
What's been going on with me lately ?
Well, there's change a-blowin' in the wind again and I am concerned but not overly. Call it the seasoning of a man that keeps me calmer and clearer in mind at times like this.
Did manage to spend 2 weeks with Carmen in Florida and that was fantastic. It's good to be in love - heh. Yeah, I know, look out, I discovered the wheel here. I'll stop here on that topic.
O.K. "Brave New World". This is your eternal student speaking here. Throw me another curve ball, or slider, or fastball..whatever. Show me what else life has to offer. We all gotta step up to the plate some time and I feel like I've been at the plate for a while and I'm due.......... or am I ? ....I mean, so far so good and now it's time for some kinda changeup ? Guess I should always expect it.
Life......what a game.
