Deep Thoughts & Stuff

A Christmas Hope

On this Christmas Eve I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts.  In this hustle and bustle world I sometimes find it hard to stop and appreciate the little things.  It seems as I get older each year passes faster than the one before it.  The hopes and intentions of tomorrow become the regrets and disappointments of yesterday.  As each year stretches into the past I find myself further from where I thought I would be.  This time three years ago I was living in Memphis.  I had just lost my job.  I had no prospects of a new one and I was on the verge of bankruptcy.  My world was turned inside out.  I knew it was time to start over.  My time in Memphis had come to an end.  Something inside of me was urging me to move to California and so I did.  Now three years, two jobs and a host of ever changing friends and faces I am still here.  It may not be the life that I had planned or the one that I thought I would have, but this is the life I have come to know and I love it.  There are always things I would have done differently or not at all.  There are always words I should have said or moments when I should have said nothing.  Now as I look back over the last three years I can see that I am very fortunate and I am extremely grateful for all of the wonderful people who I have known in my life.
They say with age comes wisdom.  It seems that just may be true.  I have learned so many things, but most of all I have learn that no matter what life brings there is always hope.  There is always hope for a better tomorrow.  There is always a silver lining to every storm.  You just have to look for it.  It may not be where you thought or it may not be as obvious as you had wished, but it is there.  In one form or another it is there.  Every age is the same.  It is only love and hope that make any of it bearable.

I wish you a wonderful and safe holiday where ever you may be.

Happy Holidays
