If the good Lord could find a way to send me 364 more days a year that were like this I certainly would not complain!
It is absolutely perfect outside.
My morning bus route was cool enough to allow me to drive with the windows open and just warm enough to not have to wear a jacket or sweatshirt.
As the day has moved along, the weather has gotten better and better. The whole area is bathed in bright warm sunshine .
Absolutely glorious!
The one cloud in my sky came when I received a phone call from a friend. He's roughly my age and finds himself in a place that I am only too familiar with.
In his early 60's, after decades of being an entrepreneur, he faces the same challenges I have struggled with for what seems like forever.
Smart, passionate,lovable,friendly,honest, hard working, yet feeling that because of his financial woes, he is struggling. And this is effecting his life in every arena.
What have I made of my life?
What should my next move be?
Where did it go so wrong?
How did I get to this place, so far behind the financial 8 ball?
Where do I go from here?
As I said , I am way too familiar with that cursed house.
I have to admit,in this moment, at this particular time and place in my life, I feel as if I have moved out of that house.
You can't imagine how different that feels unless you have experienced life from both places.
I want to help.
I would love to supply him with some answers, even guidance or suggestions.
To be honest, not only don't I have any, I am sure that they would not work or be appropriate. One thing I have learned along my Journey.....we have to find our own way.
So what can I offer?
My support.
My experiences.
My unyielding friendship.
And an ear whenever he feels the need to speak to some one .
Advise is usually a terrible offering.
Friendship and support .....like the credit card.....priceless!
