Grasping Hold Of The Wheel – and turning onto my highway.
I sent an E-mail to my wife today – no more reconciliation stuff – I’m heading off in my own direction. I rang up four credit card companies and told them to cancel my cards. I had paid them off, so I happily snapped them and threw them in in the bin. A lady in Manila said ‘Oh Mr. Williams, you’re a valued customer and I can approve an increase in your credit limit to $39,000″. “Actually, no” I said. “I’ve rung up to do just the opposite”. A young man in Delhi said “Actually you still owe us six dollars – but I’ll wipe it off the system for you’. Nice guy. Just when you’re expecting people to be bastards, they can be nice to you. I asked him what the weather was like in Delhi and whether he likes his job. “Hot and wet and, actually, yes Mr. Williams, I do like my job”. It’s nice to be able to briefly touch the lives of people on the other side of the world.
Could this be true? Am I actually grasping hold of the wheel and heading off to a place I want to go! At least it’s a start. Just stick at it and don’t let the obstacles knock you off course, young man.
