It's been a wild ride...

It's been a wild ride since I last posted on my blog. I've experienced quiet a few changes some good some bad but as with all things a lesson was learned.

I've picked up a few things about myself over this last year. I learned that I am a better friend than I have always believed. I learned that doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing. I learned that letting go isn't as easy as you would think it would be. I learned that while you go through the struggles it's hard to see the other side. I've learned that if you smile and believe things will get better they usually do. I also have learned that if you go out with a good attitude and a smile you usually get one in return. I learned that people don't always say what they mean and they certainly don't mean what they say. I've also learned that very few people are true and real anymore and those of us that are left are usually the ones standing around in disbelief that their really are so few of us left. The main lesson learned is this: I will always be me and I will not apologize for standing my ground for being real and for being true to who I am. I spent a lot of my life trying to be something and someone who I wasn't. I will never do that again. I have to be me. I don't know how to be mean, I refuse to become someone that I am not. I love me and I love who I am.

I am thankful everyday for all those blessings that I have been given.

Just got back from a trip to my other home town Hot Springs. Had a wonderful trip. I can't wait to go again. Thanks to my buddy who drove and made the trip all that more special.
