Debt or Death?

Today went well. There was nominated the first woman speaker of the house of representatives, Nancy, and I picked up several applications from some stores. Micheals seems to be the most intriging job, but there are Hancock Fabrics, Toys R' Us and Babies R' Us. It seems like in life we start down one road that is made up of several cross-roads, and then life seems to sharpen itself down to a point. This career to spend the rest of your life pursuing, or this person to spend the rest of your life with. Well, there's the choice we decide on first and there's the choice that we're stuck with.
A freind of the family died this week and it seems death is one of the choices we are unusually stuck with. However, in so many religions and philosophies, death is not the end of life, but the beginning of a new life. Reincarnation, heaven, Nirvana. Whatever you'd like to call it, we know that in our children, life goes on. So while a person we loved is not there, they still have a part of that spirit which lives. Maybe there's someone out there for all of us...that one person that we choose to create a life with. Just like there's one perfect job for each person. That job I'm looking to find.
Comparing my life and looming debt to our previous companion, I find many things to be thankful for. Thankful for the food I eat and the people I'm around everyday that I barely even aknowledge. Thankful I'm alive to solve this debt. That I have some time on this earth to pick up the burden of mankind and stand awhile on this ball of rock and water.
So tommorrow I offer my meager work history to the angry gods of the application, and supplicate to my kinder one that all will be well.
