Time Just Flies By …
On Friday I was able to have lunch with a few old co-workers and it was nice to see how their lives had changed over the years of separation. As we talked about the time we all spent at our work place I was somewhat taken back when they mentioned it had been 11+ years since they had left. Eleven years. ELEVEN YEARS! I’m not amazed at how long they’ve been gone but that I’ve been at the same place for 13+ years.
They say change is good. At what point does one actually realize that and then actually goes about enacting change? Do we sometimes just get into a routine and believe that anything outside the routine is just bad? I know I’m a creature of habit but how does one enforce this idea that “change is good”? I’m not sure being spontaneous counts for something as I can be HEY LOOK LEFT!!!! spontaneous with other things such as my thoughts or writing. Is this what we have to look forward to from this point forward until some other major event happens in our lives? Just wondering.
If you have an old car and were thinking about purchasing a new one keep in mind the “Cash for Clunkers” program. It’s another handout program to help the auto industry and those who bought SUVs and apparently some other cars. In theory it sounds nice. But the reality is that it should be called “Cash for fools” because of the inability to think forward. Here’s to keeping more folks in debt.
