joyride here we go~ round & round~
how ironic that i start this blog at a stage in my life where i seem to be starting on another INCLINE of the Roller Coaster Ride. i have just gone through and am recovering from a HUGE DROP & or THRILL of my "joy-ride." ...now only trying to catch my breath.
a "joy-ride," not because the ride is fun, but because my name is JOY, and this life (i was told) is nothin' but a hold-on-tight roller coaster RIDE => "joy ride."
yet, a recent definition of JOY that i heard says = "extreme hilarity to calm delight." so when you really think about it, it may just be right... after all, what in this life isn 't extremely funny, once it's finally over and put away in past? or you can just remain calmly delightful about it all. *shrug*
anyhow, the drop had been scary thrilling... the declining housing market that forced me to give up my precious dc house, death of my grandmother, scams of contractors who in broad day light stole from me & my company, rising interest and debt to my own name... tighter & tighter my wallet got... deeper & deeper i seem to fall in my "joy" ride.
dh & i in blind faith took off and started to drive out west from all the way on the east coast.
we must have done the cross country trip 4 time in the past short 2-years period of time. good thing is that we were able to build some important relationships during these trips that would finally help us recover from the drop.
now it is time in my life to wrap up on obligations & responsibilities that i should never have even signed up for. i learned from my mistakes and will NO LONGER bite more than i can chew. ambition is one thing... greed and stupidity is another.
i am thankful to finally be on an INCLINE... yet i never trust a roller coaster ride. =oS
