A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future

by Micheal J. Fox

That's the name of his new book. Not sure how new, as I'm not sure whether Rachel Ray was a rerun this morning or a new broadcast. But I had a chance to see Micheal's interview this morning regarding this book. I can't wait to get a copy simply based on something he said during the interview. No matter how hard and studiously we plan for our futures, life's best times usually come out of something that wasn't planned. When we "go off the rails", as he said, we shouldn't try to 'fix' it. Let life happen. Learn and grow.

Considering that I recently lost my job due to some pretty fundamental differences between my employer and myself (religious views and my homosexuality among other things), I should be curled up in a ball wondering what the hell is going to happen to me. But I'm not. I look forward to life's next adventure. I'm reading cards, I'm wearing my hippie skirt to the salon today (something I wasn't allowed to wear at the natural health store where I worked... go figger), and I'm happy. I'm pain free, damn near, for the first time in years. I'm embracing whatever life has to offer me with open arms. Sure, the train of my world is off the rails right now, but the view is crazy beautiful.

This morning, my girl made me a most fabulous brekkie burrito, with fresh veggies and warmed up tortilla. We are sitting in our condo, and we only need 300 more dollars to make rent by the end of the month. We are calm, staring into each other's eyes and amazing at the deep love we share, no matter what. This is what life is about. Not punching a clock and counting the hours in exchange for a few bucks. The universe has a plan, a design, and the true secret to happiness, on the way to the future, is to work and play within that plan. Life is an adventure. It's high-flying, bungie jumping, roller-coaster advanced play. If you stay on the kiddie train, you're going to miss the view.
