Reinventing the Wheel

Here I am, at a place in my life, where I have the opportunity to totally reinvent myself...again.  It's not my first rodeo sistah.  You would think that after having done it so many times before, I could have at least developed a template by now.  But no, once again I am going to reinvent this old wheel.  I doubt that a template would be much use anyway.  It's kind of like no matter how polished and updated you keep your resume, if you lose your job you WILL be rewriting it...many times.

I decided that as part of my entrepenuership plan, I needed a website. So I got the domain name and the hosting service, and all of the tools that it sounded like I would be needing.  In all honesty, I know nothing about website design.  I put one together 15 years ago for my family history, and literally wrote the whole thing in html...by hand.  I know nothing about CGI bins and CSS sheets etc.  But in my last life I was a programmer, so I figured I am a smart enough cookie to pull this thing off.  Today I delved into my goodies, and it kind of scared the hell out of me.  So far....I honestly don't know what to do with any of this stuff.  I selected a template and all that, and I have a home page shell, but I want to change the background and banner and you know...get to work...and I don't have a CLUE how to work any of this stuff. 

I was at a flea market over the weekend, and saw a picture that I wanted, but really don't have room for, but what it said sure has stuck with me.  Now I don't remember the words verbatim, and I don't even remember who said it, but the jist of the whole thing was that when one door closes, opportunity knocks again many times and you should follow the path where it is lit.  I realized that is what my whole journey has come to lately.  Following the path where it is lit and trusting my destiny to lead me where I need to go.

Bottem line?  I am 52 years old, unattached, unemployed, no retirement, no prospects...my slate is wiped clean right?  And I am going to follow this path where it is lit 'cause its all I got.  Make note...this is the initial stage of reinvention.  I don't even know the whole plan yet.  Yee Haw...this is the high-dive, the bungee jump, and para-sailing all rolled into one enchilada.

Stay tuned...
