Losing your job and being cast out in the street can be an adventure if you have the right mindset. You suddenly find that you are ALIVE and free to take a new path. Your priorities change. You find out who your real friends are. Your options are wide open. You can hitchike to Montana and start a brand new life in those open spaces. Or you can go to a big city and start all over again. The choices are yours. For the first time since you were perhaps a child, your future is an open book.
Hardship? Yes, there will be hardship. But even in the hardest times, you can find peace and contentment within yourself. Sit out in the grass and gaze out at the deep, blue skies. Take a deep breath and listen to the birds around you. You are ALIVE. You are living life to its fullest. Where do you go from here? That is up to you. Maybe this was meant to happen.
