Ahh the quiet

Its quiet here in the office today, I let everyone go home for the rest of the afternoon. We decided to have the office wide Christmas party for lunch. The ladies had it catered with BBQ and the “Fixins” some sort of southern Christmas party, however they brought in deserts and other items. We all sat down and had our lunch laughing and what not. Diane was the master of ceremonies this year and wanted some people to tell funny stories. Of course I was asked to tell one, I really didn’t have a humorous one to give out. I told the story about my older brother, Kyle and the rat. Our American Idol tryout fellow sang us some holiday songs. We had drawings for gifts and under certain chairs that people were sitting in, there was a number matching to a decoration that you could take home.
After all the chatter and eating and signing and story telling I asked if everyone was finished, they all looked around so I shouted “Ok then, go home!” I didn’t have to say it twice, the greenhouse cleared in minutes.
Now, I sit here alone thinking about family and what gifts I still need to purchase, who is the lucky one that going to make the early drive up to the cabin. On top of that I need to make future plans on my life. Like my house and school and where I plan to go with this business.
I draw the future out and squirm with nerves of anxiety. I know, an old man in his 20s not knowing where to go. Doom, Doom!! My Mom says not to push it, that everything falls into place and to try and force something to happen isn’t always the best idea. My Pops is the totally opposite telling us to strike while the iron is hot and go for it.
