To move, or not to move....

That is the question.  Whether it is better to run than to hunker down and make what is not currently working work, or run like hell is chasing me.

This is unfortunately where I am currently in my life.

I am feeling in a bit of a fog, not understanding what has happened.  I know I have skills that are marketable, yet I feel unmarketable.  I have been trying to do what I think in right, yet seem to e making the wrong decisions at every turn.  What can I say?  What can I do?  How can I pray?  Why aren't the answers coming to me like they used to?

I have run before from hell.  I ran from hell when I left Las Vegas, and felt like I had demons chasing me.  Well, unfortunately I was right.  Not only did the demons chase me, they caught up and smashed everything to bits.  So obviously the running isn't really a good thing to do.

I've tried different jobs, mostly call center jobs.  I have found that call center jobs are one of the rings of hell that Dante Alighieri talked about in "The Divine Comedy."  BTW, why did he call it the Divine Comedy anyway...it really isn't very funny, even if the rings were allegories to states of mind and being in this world, not the next.

One thing I think I've figured out about life in general is that you can't run from the demons.  They are like klingons, holding onto you even when you think they are gone.  What I need is a whole mess of Charmin bathroom tissue to get rid of the klingons, at least that's what the almightly television commercial gods tell me.

I just listened to Carole King's Tapestry song on YouTube, and God bless Carole King!  She always takes me back to reality.  Listen to the Tapestry song and you'll know what I mean.

The Universe is Kind...even when it's cruel, it's kind.

  1. It sounds like the Boise area is a pit as far as job opportunities are concerned. The questions for you that I have are: Do you know what you want to do? Do you know what you need to do to be able to do it? Change needs to happen, and I am sure that you will be able to make it happen, Mom. ::hugs::
