It's been a 12 month period that I will never forget.  One that I will never want repeated and one that has changed my life profoundly.  Let's just say that many things have happened and jail, attempted suicide, death, a new job and a residency have all been part of it.  Not all for one person but sprinkled everywhere. 


What I have learned so far


God is faithful
Peace is found in simple things
Somehow when you are stretched beyond your limits your heart seems to open up more
Being alone is never a bad thing
Family is always family
Love never makes sense
No matter what you will get hurt, no matter what
It doesn't matter where you go and what you overcome home is always home
And no matter how much a person accomplishes they are still just a person
And with the immense intensity of it all God created a beautiful world meant to fill up the senses
And everyone has a part to fulfill
Live in the moment always live in the moment...feel it.... it's important
Value your freedom


I miss Bernice and Daddy


I always valued my freedom.  I had it when I was young.  I married poorly and lost it for a long time.  I have it now and I know how precious it is.  You can be so trapped in your mind, you give up your freedom without even knowing what happened.  Then it takes years to get the chains from around your head. 


And finally.....everyone should ride their bike and play ball with their grandkids.  There's so much healing in play.
