When I was 16. I had a different plan for my life.
I took an oath to the USN in the delayed entry program. My dream of being a lawyer would start in the Navy.
But life takes you down different roads and sometimes Divine intervention I believe throws a road block down with a left or right option.
That fork in the road led to interesting travels. People I would never have met, Loved and learned. Daughters that molded me as much as I did them. If not more.
Opportunities that made me say, what the hell, I can do that.
My bag of tricks contained a high school diploma, work ethic, and my dad as my guardian angel.
Seems like that was enough.
Now, almost 40 years later, I find myself wanting more adventures. Like I’m 30 again. I must be crazy. But my girls are grown, grand babies are driving. Yes driving. And I’m seeing more forks in the road. The retirement exit is not an option, I have another 20 years of building my empire. At least.
So if you see me speeding by on the road of life, wave or jump in, buckle up. hang on and take an adventure with me, I’ll let you off at a rest stop if you cant hang 😁
I’ve come a long way but have so much farther to go!
I may never be that lawyer, and that’s ok. I am who I want to be.
Be who you want to be. Take that right instead of left. Challenge yourself. It’s amazing to see yourself transform.
