Cutting to the chase, I wasted three years and many thousands of dollars and came up with virtually nothing.
I was doing that to attract advertising revenue. Three years ago, I hired a web company to help me redesign my website. Some of the new age ways of the digital world can be seen by the changes that have affected. However, now that I think about it, from what I\'m reading in the press, it\'s the youngsters who don\'t expect their careers/jobs/lives to be an uninterrupted continuum. The world has become based upon change that happens so quickly it can be dizzying. How many of us can say we\'re still who and where we were 30 years ago? Very few And I don\'t want any of the younger smart asses out there saying "Thirty years ago?! Damn, I was in fourth grade!" And, if there actually are any youngsters out there reading this (that\'s anyone under 40) I don\'t want them thinking that what they\'re doing, or where they\'re doing it, is going to last forever. Most changes have been for the better, most were expected, some totally unexpected, some avoidable, some not.Įvery single person reading this can look back and say the same thing about life\'s changes and how everything seems to be accelerating. The original pad-scribbling happened decades ago, 1992 to be exact, and both the world and my life have changed radically since.
That\'s undoubtedly a graydog way of thinking.
Thinking with a pen in your hand seems to be more natural and organic than typing onto a screen. However, I\'m not surprised that I\'m now looking at a new set of goals but I am surprised that the yellow pad is still in my lap and I\'m still using a pen, not a keyboard. Looking back on what was written on that pad, I have to say I\'m mildly surprised at how well I\'ve done in accomplishing those goals.

I had a yellow pad in my lap on which I had printed in big letters, "What Do I Want My Life to Be?" A column of goals was stacked up under the headline with thoughts about how to accomplish those goals under each. My wife had bailed, leaving me with a 13-year-old daughter (which came with no instruction manual), a son in college and every single revenue-producing endeavor I had going had split-Sed into the ground. Part of it was spent sitting in a borrowed car, on an empty piece of Arizona desert in a gray drizzle. I\'m certain I\'ve talked about it before, but about a month after arriving here in Phoenix, I spent my 50th birthday alone. Been there, done that, doing it again, learning a lot in the process. Redirecting a life often works much the same. We now have more space than we know what to do with.

So, the trash can is full and the closet is empty or close to it. However, once we get into cleaning mode and attack it, we inevitably stumble across stuff we haven\'t used in years and can\'t identify part of the rest. The closet has always been that way, so we just ignore it. There is something to be said for the process of redirecting a life because it\'s like cleaning out a closet that\'s so stuffed, we can\'t wedge one more item into it. This whole "starting over" thing is getting old.
It has something to do with the fact that I\'m once again in the process of starting a new life but the world is in the process of falling apart around us.
