Early Years-Later Years

Early Years – Later Years

Years ago my life was so certain, the path so straight, the way so clear.  Work hard. Keep on task.   Stay on the track and your heart’s dreams will be fulfilled.

Years later.  It became clear that things were getting blurry.  What actually were my heart’s dreams?   Fame, fortune, love; self-confidence, self-assurance, self-fulfillment?  It seems I was on a track to a moving target, a station that was always changing from one day or week to the next.  This explained the blurriness.

More years later.  Now I have achieved all of these dreams. I am at the station, though the station may vary day-to-day, even hour-to-hour.  I have achieved my life’s dreams.

I always said to myself when in my thirties that everything will fall into place when I’m in my fifties.  This was correct except for the time being a bit later.
