Where DOES the time go?

Here it is August 2010 and my first posting from 2010...where does the time go???

Well, lets start off with a bit of time travel....back in November 2009, I was told that my department would be done away with in the reorganization of the company that I work for. Since that time, we have been transitioning for the reorganization and in essence....and reality....me and my co-buds have not had jobs since the end of May and have been going through the process of letting go and moving on.

It's been a great ride with this company, I wish I could disclose it and sing it's praises but I can't. Even down to the wire of "Buh Bye" they have handled themselves and the employees facing major life changes brought about by job and career changes with the utmost respect. I love this company! I hate to say good bye.

And so......Where does the time go?? On the one hand I was so glad to see that my job was coming to an end. The road had come to own me....there's so many dreams....I've yet to find. I would not have had the courage to make the decision myself to say "enough". I would come home on a Friday elated to be home and walk in the door to find...."what am I here for? It's just me, no social life and......I could pack for my next trip..."

As fate would have it my home in Louisiana did not sell when I took this job...Gustave did a handy job of planting a rather large pine tree through my roof, kinda hard to sell a house like that even to a tree hugger. With the house repaired, I rented it out and my renters lease was coming to and end the end of June....and my house in Houston I was renting and my landlord and his family were moving back from Africa and Brazil.....the next step was a no brainer....I went Home.....let the good times roll!

I have missed Louisiana! With all the travels I have made around the world, there truly is no place like Louisiana. And so comes the end of this Blog....I am going to get a dog. A border Collie....something that herds and can sense when I am about to break free of the roots that I have no idea how to put down and herd me back into my space, my mini forest in Louisiana. thick with humidity, thick with culture, thick with soft flowing Spanish moss and slow moving deep dark water. The house needs much attention, as do I and due to the wonderful severance package that this I-wish-I could-publish-the-name-of-this-great-company, I will have the time to give attention to both the house and make it a home and me and find a slower softer road.

Safe travels and happy roads! Remember, on the road of Life.....it's the sweet stuff that will kill you!
