Sometimes "Good-Bye" is a Second Chance
Now that "Turkey Day" is over and done, I've been reflecting on my 41 years on this earth. Last year I left everything I knew in Chicago and moved to Southern California. Personal issues drove me to do this. I didn't know what to expect, and there have been some rough spots, but all in all, everything has turned out fine. This is my "second chance" @ life!

Toughest choice I had to make was when I was discharged from the Navy in 1999. We had been in San Diego for an exercise and they dropped me there with a duffel full of clothes and a bus ticket to my Hometown in Texas. I had to choose between home with my family, or putting myself out to sea permanently with few chances to see my family and having to find shelter and a job. I wandered the streets of San Diego for a few days to ponder, and staying in my hotel for hours staring up at the cockroaches traversing the ceiling. Then I decided I was going to be my adventurous and try my luck in paradise all alone.......Now here I am 10 years later and more prosperous than I've ever been.....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Right on...
coming up on three years ago, I left my home, quit my career, parted with the love of my life, all in order to seek out happiness
(something that was missing)...
Everyone I know- told me I was completely out of my mind.
I have found certain levels of happiness but,
still haven't rounded it out quite yet...
But it's another start.
Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation

I've been thinking the same. I hope to actually do something about it a few years down the line. Maybe I'll see you in SoCal (it has been my dream for a while)!
