Crossroads and Paths

As adults there is so many paths and crossroads that we can take in our life journey. Sometimes we turn in the wrong direction or we hit dead ends. I've hit many dead ends in my adult life and it makes it really hard to put a smile on my face and be happy.  I'm unhappy with the type of work I've been doing for almost 18 years. I've had hardships that seems like I've had way more then my fair share, but then I think about all the people living in poverty and all the homeless people in our country and it reminds me that I need to be grateful that I have a job and a house. 

In high school my goal was to own my own business. But 20+ years later that dream has not yet become a reality. For the past 10 months I have been in the process of planning and getting organized to make that dream a reality! It's coming along slower then I would like but I don't want to rush into it full speed ahead and cause it to fail.

I need to finish college and get my business degree that I started and didn't finish......

My employer will pay for my college courses and upon getting my degree I will be contracted to continue working for them for so many years. So I'm forcing myself to take a deep breath and do what I need to do to finish that degree. Work will remain where I'm at but I can still slowly start my business and just do it as a side job from home until I can make it a full time job in the future. 

I keep telling myself to be patient and let everything fall into place when it's meant to fall into place but I'm not much of a patient person. I'm so ready to turn down the correct path at that crossroad that's meant for me but I know I've got learn to be patient to make it happen at the correct time. Hopefully that correct path will surface soon.......  Ok I'm done rambling have a good day and until next time.......

Autumn...... Season's change

Seasons is a time of change. I love summer, the heat, the hotter the better. But, I also love fall.....

Fall is a time of crisp fresh air, hoodies, chilly night's, bon fires, football, apple cider, colorful leaves, flying leaves, bare tree's, cider mill's, fall festivals, the start of hunting season, harvesting and so much more.

Michigander's go into fall full force and they own it, live it and love it. I live in the country and I happen to love everything country. I live in a county that doesn't have any freeways that run through it and believe it or not there are no cities in it. There are towns, townships and villages. And farm after farm after farm. Harvest time now has the concubines and other farm equipment out on the roads going from point a to point b..... It can be annoying when your in a hurry but then I remember they grow what we put in our stomachs so I slow down and enjoy the scenery while driving until they turn onto a country road.

The village that I live in has the county's best fall festival that people travel from all over to attend. Last year was the 1st time that I checked it out. This year i ended up volunteering to work with my neighbor on trash removal

for part of the weekend so it was interesting getting to see what workers do behind the scenes and what they deal with behind the scenes of the festival.......

I did manage to go shop at all the little vendor booths Sunday morning before it started getting busy. Got some good stuff and enjoyed just walking slowly from booth to booth. But then it started getting packed so just as slowly I walked home and enjoyed what appears to have been our last warm day.

As we move into fall, slow down and enjoy the beauty of it all. It's such a beautiful season, with the tree's in full color...... Enjoy it, live it and love it! Happy fall to all :)
