Blogging thoughts
As you see I'm a useless blogger. Whenever I log on I get distracted and after reading e-mail, looking at favourite websites, then a distracting, and probably unnecessary, web-surf I come here and whatever comment I was going to add has gone. I have also failed to get a theme. Having a theme would give me a focus, but as my life lacks focus it is probably inevitable that my blog would end up as a strange unlinked scrapbook.
Thoughts at moment are about nearly reaching the big five oh!!! Half a century has slipped by and I feel that I wasted my journey through life waiting at bus stops and then getting on the wrong ones! I certainly haven't arrived at the place I expected to be in by now. It's interesting trying to helping the boys sort out their life path. They have more opportunities than I had, but will they have the courage and determination to ensure that whatever dreams they have are achieved? I suppose that in 50 years I realise that its not intelligence or talent which are important, although both are desirable, the thing that enables people to achieve is determination and opportunity. Although, maybe those with determination make their own opportunities.
Sometimes it helps to be pragmatic. Maybe I'm not in the position I envisaged but I'm where I'm supposed to be. Sometimes I get deja vue type feelings, it is as if time overlaps and I'm aware, for a second, that whatever is occurring and whoever is around me I have dreamed/known about beforehand. This feeling can occur at the most normal of times, and it's like a benchmark in a computer programme. Benchmarks are put in to check data contents at certain stages of a programme to ensure that data is correct. A friend once suggested that these experiences are confirmations that we're on the right path. It has been awhile since I had a deja vue feeling but I am in a problem phase at the moment.
It's strange in that I'm looking at a new career option now. One moment I'm realistic and the next I try to work out what I'd like to do. Of course with a family it's about compromise.
