Dear Friends,
I wish I could tell you all that my life was going ok and
things were not as bleak as I once made it out to be. However, due to some
changes in my life, I had to change my life for the better I hope. Now all the
blogs during the winter and spring are done but I will post them later. Right
now, let's focus on the here and now. So if you didn't see the post on Twitter
and Facebook, after a decade of good work and service, I was let go of my job
doing what I love. I gave my heart and soul to be a vendor and also seeing my
favorite sport: baseball. Now I cannot really go into great detail about the
circumstances of my early termination but this is not the end of this
situation.
I guess rather to talk about it right now; I wanted to sit-down
and finally let the reality set in. Something in my life that was taking
forever to come. Most people associated myself from being at the ballpark,
selling beer or whatever. Most people took pictures of me doing my job. I am
not a well know person but I am known. My life did not revolve around work but
my life was connected by this job. Everything I have done was because of this
job. What kills me is that I have had this job longer than anything else I have
done. This job created the person I am now. This job was the catalyst for
blogging again.
This is not a goodbye for working for ten years. The truth
is that this is the start of a new beginning. I have been feeling like doing
this job for ten years limited me as to what I am able to do and what I allowed
to do. People don't realize that a job is a way to make a living. A career is a
way to do something to cement your life's work. I am done being a vendor and
working half of a year. However, I am not done living and being someone totally
different. So time to make changes and really look at the man in the mirror.
Thankfully this is also time to finally not be depressed about the life I was
living. There is more to come.
