Snow Day Reflection

Any snow day, that stretches into what appears to be a few upcoming snow days, can have a weird effect on a person, and I'm no different.

I'm used to being on the go, having something to do every single minute of the day. So when my "routine" gets thrown off course by circumstances beyond my control, I can tend to go a bit stir crazy.

Today for instance has seemed like the longest day I've been through in a long time. I went to work this morning as usual and got my work done early enough to beat the majority of the snow that has fallen at my home.

But once I got home, the realization that I will be confined here for a period of time finally crept in. "What will I do?" I asked myself, and I still don't have a concrete answer to that question.

I will try to make the most of it by catching up on some reading, maybe watch a movie or 12. But what I really need to do is find some time to think about my life and things in it right now.

I'm a 33-year old single man looking for the right direction in my life and hoping God points me in that direction soon.

I have a wonderful family and support system, and I love them all dearly - especially my 5-year old nephew Isaiah and 19-month old niece Caroline - but now more than ever I have found myself wondering and thinking about my own personal family future.

When will I find the right woman to be with? Where will I find her? What will life be like with children of my own?

I'm not a wealthy man by any means, as I knew with my profession that money was not going to be prevalent. But I want to feel wealthy in terms of my life and everything in it, and you can't put a monetary value on that.

Who knows, I may have already met the person for me. I just want her to know that I'm out there looking for her, wherever she may be.
