Thank God For The Little Things

Thank God For The Little Things

If you want to grow,
get outside of your
comfort zone.


I got back from a road trip this week. It was too late to start the new semester. There were too many people in one house and things were getting too loud for me so I rolled up and took off. I went to Seattle.

I was going to see my son. I saw he has his own business and a nice woman. I realized he’s a grown man with his own life and I don’t have to worry about him. Since people say I don’t act normal because of my time as an Army Scout I don’t want my son to be like me. It might mess up his normal life.

I asked myself, “What am I doing here?”

Before last month I hadn’t been there in four years and things have changed a lot. The places I used to hang out at were torn down and new construction was going on all over. If my back and neck weren’t injured I would have stuck around and gone to the Laborers Union Hall.

I called one of my cousins who knew someone with a room for rent and got him to hold it for me.

Now I’m back home and it’s Quiet. I have to wait for the next semester to keep taking classes at the college but at least I can go home and relax.

I’m not that religious, but Thank God For The Little Things
