Growing Up
An "old" high school friend is in an interesting situation. He isn't fond of his job, he loves music, and he is not tied down with any family obligations. Tonight he made a comment about not know where life will tak him now and it made me take notice. Often in life people have "things" (good and bad) tying them down in one place, doing the same job over and over again. There are not in a rut, they are in a crater. The possibility of getting out of the debt hole, unhappy relationship, miserable job, or geographic location due to family is often a struggle. Many feel that it is like standing in quick sand. One move and you end up deeper in it. I on the other hand have had the fortunate (or unfortunate) life of a nomad. I have touched ground in 49 states (missing Hawaii), and been in and around the fastest movers and shakers in the world. My nomadic nature has afforded me the ability to adapt quickly, watch for changes and adjust to what I THINK may happen next
