Consider This....A Time for Change?

It's been three weeks since I last sat down and aimlessly typed down some feelings and thoughts that overcame me in the wake of a tremendous day for both physical and personal accomplishment.  That last little vignette was met with great applause and appreciation that I never expected nor sought.  I put my feelings down on paper and for some reason I've not yet figured out, I put it in an email and exposed my real sentiment and emotion; something rarely done in our ego-driven and necessarily selfish industry.  As I laid in the Emergency Room only hours after writing that first piece, I began to get some emails and texts saying.
