enlightenment on the train
As Ive mentioned before, Im doing an internship downtown and, because I live about 30 minutes away by car (without traffic) and travel downtown during rush hour, I take the MAX, Portland's commuter train, a sort of above-ground subway system.
We're very lucky to have such a great public transit system, as many cities, even larger cities, don't have anything comparable.
Anyway, I have been feeling lost because, although I'm blessed to have this opportunity to advance my skill-set in the way of this internship, and blessed even more to have the means to be able to go 3months without pay!, I don't know what is next for me; I don't know where things will lead.
I forget that I have so many opportunities and even if I don't know what my 'dream' job may be....I have the ability to get another job.
The whole point of this post is that, here I am, sitting here on the train, listening to my ipod, 'surfing' on my phone, fully dressed in new (within the past few years, and without holes) clothes, feeling like an asshole next to several homeless people with all their belongings carried in a single garbage bag.
and I am reminded just how great I have it..... :)
