Tax Time

Yep it's tax time again. By the way I do taxes when I'm not teaching Psychology.
Yep been doing taxes since 1975.
Long time ya think?
Once up on a time there was a tax business in Kingman, Arizona owned by me. About this time of year off I'd go on the rounds of my clients homes, have dinner with them, talk about the past year along with hopes and dreams for the coming one, then do their taxes. Sometimes I'd help fix a leaky pipe, or push a car that refused to start. I'd share in their births, deaths, marriages and divorces. I be asked advice on all aspects of their lives. We would laugh and/or cry together, hug bless each other then head off in to the year.
Kind of like an itinerant pastor of old.
My bible, a full life of varied experiences, and the IRS tax code, .
I met wonderful people doing taxes in Kingman.
Now I sit in an office cubicle, clients coming to me. We don't have dinner any more, fix leaky pipes, or push finicky cars, however we still laugh and/or cry. Still share births, deaths, marriages and divorces. Talk of the past year and the hopes and dreams for the coming one. Am still asked advice on all aspects of their lives. Get a few hugs along with a few blessings.
The very best is that I am still meeting wonderful people doing taxes.
I am blessed because I can do taxes!
Imagine that!
