Blog Chain Letters...

Ok... Thanks to "another random slacker" I had to take the time to actually dredge up memories from the past to complete this little The Five Things MEME. [Side Note to ars: May Arioch taste your soul sooner than later...] Anyway, here goes...

10 YEARS AGO

I was suffering from severe clinical depression… My marriage had failed in divorce earlier in the year… My Ex and her new husband had fallen out of site (against court orders) and I was heading into the Christmas season not knowing where my daughter was, how she was doing, or anything… I was trying to scrape enough money together to get a lawyer to take a contempt case back into court… I had buried my father in late September… And so far in the year, 12 other members of my family had died… I was having thoughts about reenacting one particular scene out of “It’s A Wonderful Life.”

5 YEARS AGO

I was working in an I.T. position for a globally known electronics manufacture. The money was good, the job was good, and I was trying to find a polite way to decline the attentions of someone who wanted to adopt my last name as her own. I had a nice little apartment with a fireplace and a balcony. I was starting to enjoy life somewhat. I was looking forward to the time off (16 paid days at the end of December) from my job during which I was going home for a family Christmas dinner and to visit some old friends.

1 YEAR AGO

My son turned two towards the end of the month. I was a few months into a new I.T. position and was really enjoying the job and the company. Overall life was going along pretty good.
