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.
Kelty!!!
