Time Away

I finally made it to my favorite coffee shop. At this moment I am sitting in the comfy chair right by the front window, basking in the morning sun. I have been really busy with work and have refined my brewing skills to a point where my homemade lattes are actually palatable.

I had grand plans this morning to blog away until I met Adam. Adam was waiting for the bus to take him to his job at Wal-Mart, where he makes $10.70 an hour pushing carriages and stocking shelves. He lives in Durham and attends church there. Adam is very happy as he just got a big raise. He is highly knowledgeable regarding most spectator sports and can quote stats like a professional sportscaster. He also has a really good grasp of the weather forecast and recommends channel 9 for the latest weather information.

When I talk to Adam I realize how incredibly fortunate I am. However, Adam has most likely realized his full potential while I have not. My memory is not as good as Adam's, but in all likelihood I have more resources available to me; but many remain unused.

I need to revisit my list of priorities and do better at realizing my potential.
