I am what I am... now and then..

      Have you ever looked back on your life and thought..
I haven't changed a bit.   I don't mean physically of course,
we all do that.  Some more gracefully than others  lol
Not me.. I know I've changed several times and I'm quite
sure I may change again.  I'm just not sure when.  I just feel
that I'm ready for a change.  Hopefully a small unnoticeable one.
      I remember being shy and insecure.  very little self esteem
and pretty much intimidated by everything and everyone around
me.  I hated that part of my life and later learned how foolish I
was to feel that way.
      As I started my adult life I remained a homebody.  Never liked
to travel, got into the bar scene for a bit.  lived in patched jeans
and flannel shirts.. Life was just working and partying on the
weekends.
       Then along came marriage which probably saved me.  For
once in my adult life I had to answer to someone..lol  Big changes
came about.  Haircuts, proper dress, much less drinking, vacations
at the beach, cruises, all sorts of new things introduced in a short
time.  Someone who never even considered flying whisking off
to Cancun a couple times, trips to New Orleans and such.  No
small feat for a guy who rarely left his hometown.
     I now think I'm finally coming full circle.   Hate to travel
anymore, satisfied to just sit at home and chill.  No hair to cut
a simple trim instead of shaving and a slight step up to better
jeans and very little flannel.   lol    I'm not quite back to my
'hobo mode' but I can see it in my future.  Luckily I have a
understanding wife.  Hopefully between her and the grandkids
I won't go too far off course before getting yanked back into
reality.    I really think I was born to be a hobo!  *sigh*
