Time To Go, Again


It's been a great past year. Finally finished my tours of duty and returned home only to discover I really didn't have a job to come home to. Several months of unemployment, invitation to a wedding of a woman I was dated, countless resumes sent out in vain, my savings starting to drain because I still have to make house payments, and feeling total despair. Then one day I opened a letter in the pile of bills that had collected over a few weeks and discovered that I had been offered a job, a real job. On the phone to inquire is they still wanted me, making some excuse that I had just received the letter, and feeling relief that yes, of course, the offer still stood and when could I start.

The same happened with my email. Sent out lots of clicks and winks and unanswered letters on various dating sites, but always feeling disappointed because no one really seemed to care about finding someone to start all over with.

I was cleaning out my junk mail folder a few months ago and I found an email from a dating site. Someone had sent me letter. My membership was about to expire. I checked out the letter from this person who seemed to be reaching out to a total stranger just as I had. Sent her an email on my last day on the dating site and she send a letter back before the account expired. We're starting to get to know each other.

This is note to let you know that this is going to be a great year. I've got a job, someone to keep me company, and a lot of good memories of friends and places I've been in the past few years.

I won't be here as often as I would like but then again I'll drop by once in a while to read some of my favorite bloggers.

May you all have a prosperous and a happy New Year!

Richard
