What a wonderful world!

Day break

An autism training course in Exeter, gave me the opportunity for a wonderful drive across Dartmoor.

A Question

The view from my place of work

This is a serious question.

When I am in my twilight years, (the time when I can’t go up on the big wheel and can only dream about the times when I did)

Will I sit by the fire and be relieved that I can afford to turn it on?

And be glad that the fridge is full and know where the next meal comes from?

Will I be pleased I can afford the thermals from the catalogue that arrives on my doorstep every month without fail (I am a valued customer)?

A short holiday when the weather brightens up is a real possibility.

Will I value that financial independence that I worked so hard to achieve?

Or will I regret lost opportunities:-

Not seizing the moment when I could?

Not taking that risk?

Not flying by the seat of my pants!

Not dreaming the dreams and making them a reality?

Or, at the very least, having a go?

When I am in my twilight years, will I relive those moments when I dared to step off the treadmill?

Will I recall the sense of fulfillment, excitement, fear as I tried to follow my dreams?

Or will I say to myself, as I open another bill and turn down the heating;-

“You fool; it didn’t have to be like this.”

Stopped on my way to work.

There is always some compensation for having to be in work early.
