My oh my, how things have changed when you compare then to now.
So many things have come and gone over the years.
Girls, friends, houses, cars, family, businesses, benjamins, jobs, etc.
At any one moment something could have caused a course correction and
things would be totally different. The what if's? are always an interesting rabbit hole
to head down. "What would it be like if.....?"
There are so many things that can roll through your mind.
Every step of the way you choose something or something chooses you and that is what helps
mold where you are at this moment.
When I was young we lived for a time in Greenbelt Maryland and Wheaton Illinois. What if
we stayed there?
When I was young I met a guy that had a small machine shop. That, formed my career for most
of my life. What if I did something different that day?
I spent a year at college in Michigan, what if I stayed?
What if I never started this blog?
What if this, what if that........
There are thousands of what if's that could have changed my course.
Some at your control, some not.
In the grand scheme of things here it is. This is what you have made, gotten handed, or a
mixture of both. This moment is it. You can't change yesterday or all the years gone by and
who knows what tomorrow's sunrise will bring?
Today I have chosen to visit with Mom, who is doing good overall, then go to see some friends.
Tonight will be at home just taking it easy with no big plans.
I think this would be fun to do around 9pm then I could go to bed early:
The sunrise awaits.
What ever you are doing for the New Year celebration. Enjoy it and be safe.
I'll be around.
Thanks Jeffery, for the sultry birthday song!!
