I was sure.........

I was sure when I was a child that when I grew up I would be a horse.  I knew to my core that I was supposed to be a horse, I was absolutely positively sure!

I was sure when I was a teen and finally realized that I would not become a horse that I would work with horses my whole life.  As they were my whole life then.  I would not, no never ever get married and have children.  I was sure!

I was sure when I got married that my husband and I would live forever together in New Jersey.  My husband would never, no never ever leave New Jersey.  I was sure!

I was sure that when we bought this half a house.  Despite what all others said, that my husband and I would live here until our dying days.  I was positively, absolutely sure, we would never, not ever move from here.  I never dared dream of anything more...  I was sure!

I was sure when I got my library assistant job that I would have this job for years to come.  I would be here in this comfortable place till I retired.  I was sure I would never, not ever change jobs again.  I was sure!

I am sure now that the only thing you can be sure of is that what ever you are sure of will not stay but will change!  I'm absolutely positively sure that change occurs!

 If you ask me about anything else I'll now say I'm not sure.  Because life is just one change after another.  I have no ability to be sure anymore... Or at least for today.
