If you want to hear God laugh...

Somehow, I always fall into the error of thinking I have more than a tiny amount of control over my life and its direction. I can stay with that train of thought for a very long time too.

And then, yet again, something happens that changes everything and I realize all I did was walk through a door that the Lord God Almighty had set directly in my path.

And now, after two years of applying for job after job after job, most of them very much like the one I now have gotten, I have one I'm loving with people who seem nice, interesting and who don't appear to live on gossip. Time will tell about all that, but oh! is it wonderful to be doing something I really like again, and getting paid to do it.

I have no idea why this time I was offered a job and all those other attempts produced absolutely nothing, but the difference was obvious from the time I walked in for the first interview.

New life and coherent thinking

And now, several years later, I'm considering re-activating this blog. It's been a long time with lots of changes and I'm not sure I actually have much to share that is interesting even to myself. Still, writing helps order thought, helps objectify musings and stream of consciousness. That's a good thing.

Also, I think my life may be moving in a completely different direction--but really, back into something I like for a change. It is amazing what colossal mistakes a mature adult is capable of making even while sincerely trying to make the very best decisions and wisest choices. And it can be very expensive as well, a lot like flushing money down the john for hours and days and weeks on end.

Live. And. Learn.
