Honestly,… how lucky am I?

So really … let’s think about this … how lucky am I?  I have no encumbrances.  Now of course I end up listing this as no pets, no children, no house, no job, no partner and no debt.  I guess one might not see having no children, house, job or partner as a good thing and perhaps in some lights, perhaps not.  But I guess I look at it from the perspective of the fact that I can do whatever I want right now, when I want and how I want and I can’t hurt anyone, let anyone down or otherwise not be acting irresponsibly.  So really … how lucky am I?

It is a weird place to find oneself.  Because this can be abused.  I have to constantly remind myself of the gift that has been handed to me.  I have to honestly say, that I did not recognize the gift in its process.  How could I?  It disguised itself in much darker clothing.  But as always, in past tense, I can see its worth and value.  And once again … how lucky am I?

So why have I been afforded such a gift?  Well I did get crushed by a log but I can only ride that “wave” for so long (if you know the story you will chuckle at the ‘wave’ comment … maybe).  But maybe my journey to date has been about this constant nefarious wave of opportunity, exploration and self-discovery.  Mannnnnnnn …. why could I not have been given a simple life.  No I am not complaining .. but it would be interesting to have an inside look into the manufacturers of my life … well depending on your beliefs, that is me afterall.  Shoot.  So I can only blame myself.

But back to the original statement, really.  How lucky am I?  VERY.  That is where I will leave it for now.

I have an amazing family, amazing friends and an amazing life.  Thank you, whoever you are.
