I started writing and begin rambling on and on, and it amounted to nothing.  So, I erased it all and am starting again.

That’s kind of what I’m doing with this thought log, also.  Starting again.  You’ll see that I’ve moved all of my old posts (59 of them) into the Retired Posts category, where they will lay to rest.  This blog has a new purpose now.  I no longer live to work, and I don’t live my work.  I work to live, and my focus has shifted not on what I do any longer, unless it is what I do for others.  Instead, my focus is on living – on breathing, on being, on loving, and for me personally, who I am in God, as well.

Several years ago I abandoned much of who I was, because really, I was frightened and decided I would live by the five senses – only what I could see, feel, hear, taste and touch.  I abandoned faith, because it didn’t give me precisely what I wanted, when I wanted.  As a result, I have been living a faithless life.  For some, that is OK, but for me, it’s led actually to even less assurance, security and peace.  I thought that by abandoning faith, I would find solid ground.  Instead, I headed down a careless, scary road with no light around me and no road signs, either.

So, like I’ve done with my old posts, I’m moving all of the old me into the Retired category, so that I can start fresh (again).  The nice thing about life do-overs is that there’s an endless amount of them.
