Those of you who know me or at least think you know me, describe a job that would match the Debbie you see.
I'm an trying to stay focused and not rant and agonize over the dismal and pathetic state of this nation. And I am being very pragmatic. I will be moving to Seattle very, very soon. This is not a threat, It is a promise and it is going to happen. Not only do I have the opportunity to have a life with a man who loves and adores me, but there are jobs in Seattle. YES! Real JOBS! And lands alive, I NEED A JOB! The heck with retiring, I'm looking to find another career.
With the way things are going to go in this country, I'm figuring that all I can do is fashion the very best life possible and love my loved ones as much and as best as I possibly can. I will continue to do what it is I can do for my country. I so want to find an profession that will make some sort of difference in people's lives. Something, Something to help fight injustice. So much of it out there. It's not about fair or unfair. It is about the injustices.
Anybody as sad about life right now as I seem to be? And ya know, no matter what amount of cooking, or walking, or singing, or swimming that I do, it's still there. Maybe it's a grieving for an era gone. Senator Ted Kennedy's death affected me a great deal. Now that man had focus, passion, and courage. And did he have the ability to admit is humanness and then keep going every day or what? And did that man know tragedy, despair, and grief?
I'd love to be a Senator like Ted Kennedy, but that isn't going to happen real soon. I'd love to be in a position of power like that. But not happening real soon. So what do I do in my realm, in my reality?
Honest...I'm still hooked on the idea of a donut shop. I'd like to run a place where people gather to talk, relax, and be willing to express themselves in a civil and decent manner. Hmmm? Is that still possible? Ok so civil discourse is probably impossible. I still want my donut shop. I think.
Any input welcomed.

There is a place in Rockville, MD called The Fractured Prune. (http://www.fracturedprune.com/) Even though the name is strange, it's a make-your-own doughnut shop. You tell them what you want on it, and they make it for you. Best idea I've ever heard of! Maybe Seattle needs something like that...
ReplyDeletePS. If you DO open up your own shop and ever need some creative help, you know who to call. :)
