The distance of least resistance is never a straight path.
What brought me here is gone, thinking out loud now. Where should I be, I question myself once more. Reflections from the pool of life, portrayed as if I were always right, I shake my head as tears subside, knowing just how fragile, this life.
Echos of a distant pull, steer me toward another door, hold my breath say my prayers, seeking happiness and so much more.
With nothing in my pocket, I begin again.
Work is threatening a shutdown, perhaps a buy out.
Challenges press against my soul.
Everyone makes it, in life, don’t they?
The seed of thought shall find the light
The unwanted devise hope
The faithful grasp for a sign
The strong hold tight Me, well, I just drive on.

My brother's place of work closed down. he was not in upper management or anything but they gave everyone a severance pay and helped him to go back to school. He's much older than you. The state and the feds I think, had programs to supplement that money, and he even got money to live on while completing his degree. He'd failed a chemistry or physics final years ago which kept him from graduating and he'd been to pissed off and offended to take it again - all these years - he's over 60. He's graduating on June 29. This door if it closes will make it dark enough to see a glimmer of light where the next window of opportunity for you may open. ( How corny was that last line, but I have found it to be true.

Thank you for relating with me. It would take a lot of credits for me to compleate a degree, so I move on, draging what I know within my shadow. It would be nice if life were easier. This week has been very hard for me. I'm very depressed. But that's what happens when you let yourself down I guess. I finished my divorce trial on Tuesday. Now I await the judges decision (2-4 more months) It's been on going for over a year and a half. I lost my job three weeks ago. (down sizing) I need a total knee replacement, the accident happened in work but workers comp denies the claim because it happened in 1989. And even if I get the opperation I'll be out of work for 8-12 weeks with no pay. I'm indebt beyond belief and struggling just to eat. Yesterday I past out at the wheel and woke up in the hospital, I was on my way to a new job. Lost it. They told me it was stress and a bad heart. Having trouble eating, sleeping and remembering stuff lately. signs of depression, or lack of money. same thing with me. I'm going down to the shoreline tomorrow, I have a full tank of fuel in my boat. Maybe I'll take a cruise for a bit, drop the hook, and have something to eat on the grill. Come home on Monday morn and start the week refreshed. (it's a plan) I seem to tear up easily, never use to. must be all the bad things seeping to the surface. I'll bring my camera with me this weekend. should be a good outing. it's hard, this life. In time I'll learn how to live it better. Hey, thanks for your comment I didn't know I'd write this but that's how things go, right?
