Rebuilding you life, no matter you personal, professional, or financial is a challenging task.  It can be fun, exciting, rewarding, and eye opening.  It is also exhausting, annoying, frustrating, depressing at times, and downright painful.  The first thing I would say to anyone is that you never have to go through it yourself.  If you do just be prepared for a bumpy ride that you may never forget, but will hopefully learn from.

I never thought at my age I would need to basically “rebuild” all over again.  I have had that task a few times in my life, and to be frankly honest, it’s getting fairly old now.  So how is it that I am stuck rebuilding yet again?  Well I convinced it’s because I don’t have a hammer.

That is probably raising an eyebrow right?  I am not talking hammer in the literal sense, so please don’t take me so literally.  It really isn’t a literal thing.  I am talking about the focus that a hammer has when you hit the head of a nail, that drives it into whatever it is that you are driving at.  I think I am probabbly working with a rubber mallet.  Still drives the nails but a lot slower. This time however, I really need that hammer to make it work out for me.

Throughout my life I have had to rebuild both my personal life, my professional life, and up until recently to a much lesser extent my financial life.  I can remember each phase as though it was a distinct chapter and each chapter had is own challenges, and rewards.

The first time I had to do some type of personal rebuilding was after the death of my mother.  While not expected it was still really hard for me to process, and I was left with many questions, and guilt over the way I felt through the years.  That process was a difficult one.  Yet in the end I was able to forgive my own feelings, and let the good memories come through, and remember my mother, and my childhood for the great one it was.

The professional rebuild, was much less exstensive, but just as educating, and is still not yeat complete, as I am not retired as of yet.

Now comes the process of rebuilding my financial life, as well as my family in many ways.  Hopefully in my quest to Build Tomorrow, I will find Another Day of Life to be proud of.  I hope you follow me on that journey.

Until Next Time.
