This blog is about my life and how I see the world on a daily basis. It is not meant to be philosophical or even intellectual in its writings. It is simply a place for me to leave my writings; to have conversation with those who may wish to read it, so not all of which I write may be pleasing. Often the writings are not pleasing to me but I have given myself permission to write them. As I consistently observe there is always something beautiful, even in the bitterest of situations and if nothing else, I hope my writings convey that thought. I wrote the article below near mid-October on a day when the world was closing in on me. It is unedited. You may be pleased to know that I have found a job! It is a six (6) months position in my area of current study. I'M EXCITED! Still treading water but EXCITED! _____________________________________________________
