The saga continues....do you ever feel like you are stuck in the middle of a three book trilogy when you only meant to commit to a one book story? Welcome to the world of job hunting in the biggest recession of my short lifetime. Lets be clear, this is not whining, just a way to vent, or exponge excess energy from the mental coffers I call the treasure trove of my mind.
So, here is the irony. I am sitting in a coffee shop doing a bit of job hunting when I overhear the following snippet of conversation from the table just next to me. The table is occupied by two woman, one of whom is trying to recruit the other into some sort of a startup business venture. This conversation has progressed for 45 minutes, and while I am not intentionally listening, one does hear bits here and there without intention. Now, the interesting bit. One woman is apparently married to a person that I recently interviewed with for a job that I would have really liked to have gotten. How small can the world be?
Other than the like of immediate employment, life is progressing smashingly. Family- great, Health-great, Friends-great, Job-well, I am sure it will be great soon.

Dr. Seuss
"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple" Dr. Seuss.
These are indeed profound words of wisdom. I would also add that the simplest answers are often the most difficult to implement. There is an old adage about taking the easy road versus the road less traveled and lets not forget the high road. On these roads one may find the bridge over troubled waters or the infamous bridge to no where, but I digress.
Life often seems full of complex problems, but most have a simple, albeit difficult answer. The one exception in my mind often involves the classic no win problem. Where your actions are going to cause pain for the parties involved in the problem no matter which solution one chooses. These, are the truly difficult problems.
Ultimately, if we have our health and our family everything else is small potatoes.
