Finding your place in life.

Carving Your Niche In The World


A while back there was a popular song called "My Place In The World" that was lighting up the air waves.

It meant a lot to me to hear it, as many songs do, because it was an expression of how i, too, was feeling.

I felt displaced. I didn't know where I belonged. I didn't know what was acceptable or unacceptable. It seemed everything was unacceptable where I was concerned whether it was good or bad.

I know a lot of the reasons why. I wrote books about it.

I guess today I feel that I do know a little about where I belong.

Until or if they come and get me with all the wild stories flying around, I'll be doing the same things I'm always doing, trying to earn a living and trying to live an honest life.

I am in much appreciation of God and our country, the people who work tirelessly to insure that our basic freedoms and democracy is preserved against all and sometimes seemingly insurmountable odds, and for the people who continue to fight and serve and protect.

I am always talking about the armed forces and the first responders, our public servants, all the people within a government that make it click. And I am always hoping to be talking in favor when I do talk.

I guess politics gets in the way and I don't say all the things I really should say.

We once had a great leader and football coach in the big leagues who got angry and expressed his feelings about the characteristics of a certain person of a certain race.

Freedom of speech, freedom of choice, the right to the pursuit of happiness are all ingrained in our heritage as American people. Ok the very same people who went to the podium and professed that they defended his right to say what he said but at the same time denounced it, are, I believe, the very same people who on a daily basis are denying people their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And subsequently he lost his job which was his livelihood.

So to color yourself as a politician. but when you are denying people of their basic rights how effective then, are you?

I don't tell the truth to bring you guys down, I tell the truth because you are more tyrannical than anything else and that's why every one left England in the first place.

Shuffling backwards don't make me feel good about nothing I see you do so I guess red flags have gone off and I have panicked.

It's a new day. I agree. As Barry Mannilow would say, it's daybreak, if you want to believe.

I believe.

So, I'm not so scared anymore. I see responsible leadership at the helm, so I will rest here with my next pursuit, my niche, my place in the world.

God bless us all.
