When I Grow Up...

        It took me a serious moment of impact and twenty-nine years to realize what it was that I was supposed to do. It took me an additional two and a half years to really embrace it. I don't know why.

      It had been obvious all along.
      When I was in school and an essay assignment was announced, my classmates moaned in protest while I remained unfazed. Writing was easy for me, a gift that came naturally. Don't get me wrong, I'm a blogger, not a bragger. But some how, it went unnoticed by me that while other kids struggled to turn in book reports to make up their grades, I turned them in, one right after the other, for extra credit; although it didn't matter if you already had an A.

      So why did it take me so long to figure what I should be doing? I don't know the answer to that question, and maybe I never will. But, I do know one thing...I was born to write and write I shall.

Each Day

There used to be these inspirational pictures and sayings hanging throughout my office. When management started shifting, the pictures began getting replaced. Most have disappeared but a few remain. Like the one that found its way into my office.

Poetic in its own right, it talks about each new day. How you are exchanging whatever you do today, for a day you can never get back. The moral of the saying - Leave something good in its place. I'm going to focus on that each and every day.
