Susan Boyle is my hero.
I am sure we have all heard the recent Cinderella story of Susan Boyle. I understand her story. So many people spend their anonymous lives toiling away at jobs or responsibilities simply because of those responsibilities. It takes a character trait that I call "responsifortitude" - doing the tasks expected because no one else is available or willing to do it. It is no surprise then, that these people are my heroes.
Susan Boyle is my hero. She is a lady who is trying to make something of her drab life. That is what I started to do when I started this blog. I wanted to reach my true destiny. I wanted to achieve my life's goal. Somehow I got sidetracked and distracted by life and responsibilities and I forgot to focus on my own dream.
Susan has started on her journey. I wish her well. Even though she didn't win, she is still a winner in my book and I am sure that she will succeed. I look forward to hearing more from her in the future.

About Me
- David
- Columbia River Gorge, Oregon , United States
- I am evolving. After 50 years of working, I finally retired in January, 2021. We currently live in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. I had lived in southern California with my wife and kids for 25 plus years. In June, 2014 my daughter accepted a job with a university in Oregon. My wife, began to worry that she would not see her daughter too much. Luckily, (ha ha) I was laid off from my job, making me free to move wherever I wanted. Over the course of several months, and several hundred resume's and applications, I secured a job in the Portland, Oregon area. We are now close to my daughter and are able to see her more frequently. It is truly a blessing. Our continuing journey has taken us to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, in the little town of Cascade Locks (what a wonderfully historic place this is). Here on this little collection of essays and interests I try to capture life. I try not to get political. Sorry, but I have opinions, and sometimes they sneak in. I don't ask that you agree with them, but I have reached them after 50+ years of thought and observations.
