Lot of the good the bad and the ugly
It been a while since I posted anything. As you know life
can hand out a number of problem for you to get through. I have had my share.
In a nutshell the good the bad and the ugly. On the bad side was trying to
keep my home, a battle that it seems I could not win, the loss of income made
it even harder. After a long talk with an attorney, family and friends I let
the mortgage company have it and walked away and sought relief from the bankruptcy
courts. Living there I had daily
reminders of my wife’s death, and the deafening silence of loneliness. Where laughter
echo an empty house and one’s heart reels in pain and the clouds of sorrow form
and it rains a thousand tears. It been eighteen months and I find the weather
has many more storm for me to weather.
The ugly serpent that
slither through the canyons and valleys of my mind seeking out my fond memories
of the fun times to torcher me. It’s called loneliness, he will not win. In a crowd
of friends and family someone will ask “how are you doing” I answer I’m ok, hoping
they won’t see the ugly viper squirming inside of me poised to strike and start
a storm of tears. It hides when someone give me a hug and maybe a kiss, but he is
still there.
On the good side of things an old friend form my youth decided
to semi retire from his semiretired security job and recommend me for the job, he
is still working on call. So I am now working as a security guard. That has aloud
me to buy a mobile home it is a handyman special and need a little fix up here
and there, but I own it outright. Working has help me put a rope on the loneliness,
but it is still a problem I hope to hang it from the nearest oak someday. I hope
to be able to get back to writing more often. My life now is finding some order
and the future looks good. I am working on my novel and hope to finish it in January
that is a tall order but I am going to try.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. And as always
God Bless

Getting back in the saddle has got to be rough. Hugs from me, and give that old viper a boot by reveling in those fond memories. Don't let him take them away from you.
