The slow wheel turning

I have the middle class American fortune of a steady good paying job. In fact it is probably too steady for my own good. I've had the same employer for more than 20 years. No doubt this has helped dull my creative edge. I can only imagine the turmoil, disruption and sometimes pain of frequent career moves.

These days I see my big company's stability start to shake and I also anticipate a "retirement" scenario. I'm less ambitious and more paced now. And I also marvel at the big world as peeked at through this moniter. It is a big slow turning wheel that brings me to more wonder and anticipation. This feels like one of the big beginnings and I am glad.
