Psychic Earthquake

Beware of what you wish goes the popular warning to all who believe greener pastures lie on the other side of the fence, over in the next valley or even in heaven.  Inordinate amounts of energy and, more importantly, precious
of time will be spent searching.  Will it be worth the expenditure?

As for my current visitation into my new found pasture, I think I am committed to my choice but unconvinced that the green was worth the effort.  I should have known.  I had been here in this field before and been disappointed.  I am being vague on purpose.  The point of my story centers not on the details of my disappointment but rather on the fact that I looked once again to “somewhere else” for a better day; a softer easier path emotionally. 

Scratch that rant.  Bull.  I chose money.  I needed that green and I found it.  The pasture was fertile and I am full up from the consumption of its bountiful nutrients.  However, the repast does not come easily.  Imagine eating a sumptuous meal that moved as you ate, or at times was eaten in total darkness and you fork and spoon went missing.  Can you picture a steak turning into soup mid bite?  I am indeed delighted with my field of plenty.   I must admit to being exhausted by the effort of reaching and staying at the plate.  

Yes, full turnabout.  The trip over the next valley was immensely worthy the while.  I made no mistake.  I may have overestimated my ability to enjoy the meal.
