A DAY IN MY LIFE

I'm having New Caribbean Clam Chowder, my fave....an Asiago Roast chicken sandwich, red onions, lettuce and sharp cheddar cheese, and an iced tea. I know, I know, I'm gonna need a breath mint.

Well, to top off all the other troubles my friend is going through, He got laid off yesterday. He was offered a much less paying job with the same company, but He have yet to make a decision on it. I was shocked to say the least, but then again, in these times, with the economy the way it is.....well, maybe He should save His shock for something more drastic.

Because deep inside, I feel so much Peace. I can't explain it, and I'm not trying to. There are some things that "pass understanding" and this is definitely one of them. In days past, if my life had turned upside down like it has in the last month or so with everything negative that seems to be happening to me , I would've been in the bottle by now.

But I'm not that man anymore. I'm a man of University not a man of the streets. A man of the King of Kings not a man of Crown Royal. A man of integrity not a man of deceit. I drive past the old haunts sometimes and the allure is gone. POOF! Oh sure, the hordes of the enemy still sink their spiny talons into my head and play images on the screen of my mind's eye, but the movie was long ago sold out and I don't really care for popcorn.

For years I wondered what my place in this world would be. Now I know.
