I’m watching the Occupy Oakland protests erupt into violence and am thinking about the times we live in. They are tough. Trust me, I know. And for that reason, I kind of get where the protestors are coming from. Kind of.
I just protest differently.
The past year has been a year of change for my family. Instead of taking to the streets, I scrambled to find other ways to succeed. And I will be totally honest, it hasn’t been easy. I never thought it would be. But it has been thrilling. The success I have experienced has been very satisfying. Like a drink of cold water after a long, hot day’s work.
I had a choice: Be mad or be busy. I’ve done some of both and can tell you this much, busy is by far the better choice.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to work. Thank God I’m busy.
