The Unknown

Either we embrace the unknown or we shy away and fear it in hopes of avoiding. Everyday we wake up with a sense of what the day will bring but then the unknown creeps into the picture. Sometimes the unknown is worse than knowing - this is true with a medical condition, family crisis, work problems, or relationships. You know something is not quite right but if you don't find out the problem you don't have to deal with it. Right now unknown is where will I be in a few years with unemployment, falling value of property, loss of benefits, and getting closer and closer to wanting to retire - what is up with that! So here I go out into the world of unknown again and see waht awaits me in the shadows.
