And On That Note

I should explain my post's Title. "Freedom's Chains."

A realization struck me, as they often have in all of this growing up and being a responsible adult business, that more chains have a hold on me now than they ever did when I lived with Mom and Dad. Each chain has a name, or a place, or some desire blazened onto each of it's links. There is one for my apartment lease. One for the money I owe the library. One for the independent study class I'm taking. One for my friend Lee. One for, well, everything. I'm positive my job has several chains on me because of the responsibility and such that is involved with it. However, it also struck me that I do not mind being chained to my life. I rather like my life. I have good friends, and have God's love constantly shining down on me. What more do I need? Wait! Tokyo, my cat! She loves me too, even if she sometimes has a funny way of showing it (like when she tries to run away).

Back to the subject at hand. Even with all these things that tie me down, I am still happy. Very happy, overall.
