Something Sappy
I gotta tell you, I’ve got it alright. I have a decent job I like (but don’t love) and make decent money to pay for a house (that needs some work), two cars (one nice and one that’s paid off), and enough left over to buy stuff without worrying too much. But I’ve always lacked direction. I’ve bounced around every couple years from job to job. Hell I’ve moved more times than I can remember in the last 15 years whether it was across town or across the country. I have that very typical “lost” feeling that many of my generation feel as we look for what… our purpose in life maybe? It’s a mystery to me what it is I am searching for that I think will make me complete.
But tonight I came home to my two-year old daughter and we ate dinner together, played a little with her toys, ate a popsicle on the porch before giving her a bath (with bubbles!), dried her off to watch the Berenstein Bears, then a few minutes in the rocking chair until laying her down to sleep… and I didn’t think about any of that other stuff at all.
