There Was A Detour on the Road, But I'm Back

Ten days ago I logged into my ology.com blog to edit a new post on The Road to Happiness and it was gone. G-a-w-n! Not a trace left of Metrobus Zen or any of my other deepest sharings over the last 18 months. Damn, damn, damn! My anguish and dismay lasted about 2 minutes. Then I let them (the feelings and the posts) go. It is a testament to my spiritual growth that I managed this letting go quickly. It's also a testament that it broke my heart for those two minutes, deeply. 


It was messed up what ology.com did, no doubt. But I try to consistently let go of things that I cannot control. After 15 months without a job I learned not only to let go but discovered the joy that can be had in it. The posts from those months were like snapshots of that journey. They are lost but the journey isn't.



Thanks to a friend and a regular companion on TRH I have been able to salvage some of the earliest posts through the Wayback Machine site. Otherwise, I am just looking forward. And, I am starting anew, which is always, always a good thing. I'm gonna take this as an opportunity to create the new and improved TRH. (An ex of mine used to tell me that my motto should be new-and-improved because I could always see how to make something better with very little effort even.) 


On the bus ride to work yesterday I was in love, again. I want to tell you all about it (real soon).
