Down Slide

Sometimes our lives take a down slide. And it is up to us to decide what to do to change things. Only we have the power to do what is right for us. No matter what it is. And, sometimes, more times than not...We don't like to face the truth on what we need to do. No matter how painful it is, we still need to do it. Sometimes it will make us sad at first. If you know deep down inside it is the right thing to do, then in the end we will be happy. I have made a lot of choices in my life. Raised my sons on my own. Not easy. I had to decided a lot of things for a very long time in my life. And sometimes I just didn't want to decide, I wanted someone to tell me what to do. But, I am glad they didn't. Because, now I am the person I am because of me. It's scary to have to decide things...Like buying a new car, or house. But sometimes jumping in with both feet, is awesome. Because, you can say you did it...and it was on your own.

Do you ever wonder...

Ever see someone sitting alone and wonder what they are thinking? Are they alone because they chose to be? Are they happy to be by themselves? Are they waiting for someone, anyone to walk up to them and talk with them? Why did they decide to sit alone? Did they come from a house full of people and they are enjoying the sounds of nature? I used to see people sitting in the park by themselves and wonder why they were alone. And then I laughed because I wonder if they thought the same of me...Sometimes I wonder.

Take life by the horns

I was sitting here thinking about all the losses I have had in my life. Some when I was real young. And most when I was old enough to understand what it meant to lose someone. And I thought about through the years how I felt each time someone passed. I would say to myself life is to short. We should live life to the fullest. But then that feeling would fade away. I would go back to be content with things the way they are. I wouldn't make one change in my life. I told myself it will not be that way again. I have set some goals for myself...And come hell or high water...I will reach my goals one way or another. And maybe in the end I will be standing alone...But one thing is for sure...I will be standing. Maybe we should all set goals for ourselves and do our best to reach them. Stop sitting on our excuses. Life is too short, happiness could be right around the corner.
