The Horoscope


I have never before torn a horoscope from the newspaper. To be honest, I look at them to marvel at how someone can write something that could universally be interpreted to apply to anyone who would read it. This one has it nailed.

Think about it. Is it possible that where you are is a turning point? Is it just possible that your decision today could effect the rest of your life?

My close friends know that life has not been smooth for me the past year or so. Work, relationships, family have all had some problems. Where we are today, is so totally based upon where we have been. Our destiny is our own. What are you going to do today so that tomorrow is the beginning of the moment you have been waiting for your whole life long?

I am so grateful that I have found work that makes me get out of bed in the morning, excited to start my day. I am grateful for the love and good health of children and grandchildren. Good friends complete that picture. Music rounds out my life. I am at peace in my little part of the planet I call home. My house, my garden, my pond, the TART trail behind my house, the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, this wonderful region all complete that picture. Life is good. Yes, I can probably say, I am in a place I have waited my whole life to be.

Do I have some regrets? Sure. Don't we all? But, the bad decisions of my life all go together to make me the strong individual I have become today. Tomorrow will be even better.
