A significant and important chapter in the story of my life has now closed behind me. A chapter filled with, at different times, periods of immense joy and raw pain.
The last two weeks were the transition from the last chapter to the new one.
This morning, a new chapter begins. I anticipate a tough time ahead, but ultimately a light at the end of...

New road ahead - new challenges - new opportunities. Exciting and scary at the same time.
I'd say best of luck - but we make our own luck...

Glad to hear it!
It always amazes me that people actually read what I post. I usually just post my ponderings on whatever I'm interested in at the moment - sort of a stream of conciousness. I'm always exploring something.
Right now, I've been reflecting on middle class values and consumerism. Our society has pushed the values of consumerism to expand our markets - a constant round of rising expectations. But our current economy has brought a dose of realism. - we are now having to contend with the concept of lowered expectations.
Which brings me to exploring core values - of simplfying my life - and a better understanding of what brings true happiness. In other words a return to the basics and a rejection of consumerism. (Of course, if everyone rejected consumerism - than the economy would get worse - and expectations would need to be further lowered....)
Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate it more than you could guess....

My boss's daughter was murdered in Japan two years ago and it's just coming up to the two year anniversary. He owns a small, family-run business and I was at their home tonight as they were getting ready to go to Japan tomorrow to try to raise the profile of the case over there.

IMurder is so devastating, so pointless, so final. When you lose a family member to disease - at least you are somewhat prepared. You may hope for the best - but in your heart you know the chances are they won't pull through. You can be somewhat prepared for it.
It's so hard to witness the pain that results from that kind of loss.
As you said - it does put things into perspective. whatever your problems - there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. You are right to seek out a little escape from it all. Do something that's a treat. Remind yourself that there's a lot out there that's worth living for.
Take care. My thoughts are with you....

There isn't a lot you can say to something like that. It must feel like such a long way from home.

I wanted to put another song up on my blog post today, but I couldn't find one that sums up today's thoughts and feelings. It's been a bit too varied today.
But I'm alright, Jack!
But I'm alright, Jack!
These Dylan song posts are almost becoming a bit of a series!
Well, what can I say, they reflect the moods I'm going through these days so well. I'm feeling a bit more chipper today.
I ain't lookin' to compete with you,
Beat or cheat or mistreat you,
Simplify you, classify you,
Deny, defy or crucify you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby,...

You read these articles and can't help but wonder how much of it is really true - maybe it's just a case of true for the writer....
Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me,...

I'm in a difficult and confusing place at the moment. There's some upheavals going on in my life which are leaving me feeling a little disorientated. And I've had a lot of thoughts and feelings and stresses that I've been bottling up for a while now. And last night I got a lot of it out of my system.
And it felt good.
And it felt good.
