One Day....

There was one day that i was just like many of the younger crowd that i now read about on this site.Happy with their decisions in life.Happy to be part of something with a much bigger picture.Making a difference in their life and others...
One day i woke up and found that i had fallen into the pit of life...Go to work,have a family,raise a family,struggle along wondering if this is what its all about...repeat for about 20 years...Don't get me wrong,my life is good,i'm happy with it overall but.......
One day a couple of years ago i realized that no matter how many hours i work,how much i got paid,at the end of the day i would still be in the same spot i have always been in...living paycheck to paycheck.I figured out that having less could be more..much more...where it actually means something.
One day..very soon...all of my priorities...all of my "real world"responsibilities will be taken care of.Getting the last of my children off to college.Getting as close to debt free as i can and one way or another dispersing my "worldly"possessions and then saying"see ya later"to the life that is so controlling.
One day has evolved into today.I have proof that right now,people young and young at heart are making a difference in their life and others lives.Having the adventure of their life.Making lifelong friends.Finding out that life doesnt have to include deadlines,phrases that start out-please pay by this date,stressed out bosses.
The mental countdown has started.The thoughts,the visions,the curiosities..all swirling around in my head.Everything that will be-one day-.
