Family and Friends

Last year, was probably the hardest year of my life. I almost lost my dad at the start but luckily he his still around and probably doing better then ever. Seven months later 17 days before my birthday one of the greatest men I know passed away. My Ope meant so much to me and inspired me to be good to all people because that is how he was. When he passed away I had no idea what to do and felt like everything was going down hill. I then remembered that Ope would have not wanted that, he would of wanted me and my family to move on a get to our highest level. Shortly there after I pushed myself to accomplish goals that I had been writing down.

Well August 1st has come and gone and all I could think was how could a year have gone by already and how I still miss him. I really wish I could have had him there when I graduated from academy or if I had kids that they could meet such a great man. I know he is still around in spirit and sometimes I think he is right there with my other family members keeping an eye on me and my family

In the last year I have also seen that my family and friends are the reason that I have been successful so much. It sad that having a great man leave me life to recognize all the good around but some people never know of this. My Dad and Mom push me so hard and but give me so much strength in order to accomplish the task in front of me.  My brothers and my sister all give me encouragement to do my best. And my friends, without them I would have not made it through last year the way I did.

Here lately my friends are succeeding in life and going down new paths. Some of them are in relationships and starting families, others are leaving home to accomplish their carriers. My friend Paul and boyfriend to one of my best friends is going into Navy Basic tomorrow. I am so proud of him but also know in a few month Bailey and Paul are going to leave. My friend Angel who I only became friends last year is leaving to Dallas to do a job he had been dreaming for years. My two best friends, one married and with a kid and the other dating a great girl who is helping him raise his three kids, are so busy with there lives and succeeding at creating a happy healthy family. I made many of these friends after a really dark time and they helped me through it. They were there through the roughest year of my life and helped me become even stronger. Now, I see them growing and slowly disappearing from my life, but not in a bad way at all. I am so proud of them all and hope that one day we will be all able to sit around a table and remember the good ol' years.

The point to this entry is no matter how hard times get, I have been so lucky to have so many people around me helping me succeed. Sometimes those people have to leave but, really they are always there.

In end to tonight's post. Good luck Paul, go kick some butt.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

In the blanket of dark, light creates itself.

For years now I have looked outside this window in my room. I have laid my eyes on the Santa Rita Mountains and have seen a different image every time I opened my curtains. My eyes have seen this timeless face change into a unique image every second of everyday for the past seven years. Through that time I have seen those mountains a far and at close. Through that time I have seen changes upon those rock formations. The four seasons bring four changes as predicated earlier. Spring season brings the new sprouts, new leaves, new young in the animals and even what seems to be new fresh start to a year. Summer brings the warmth, brings season to those of young who just arrived, and the rains of the monsoon come to prepare those for later. As those rains dissipate and the temperature begins to cool, the mountains change again. The leaves of youth fade color and start to show their age. Yellow, gold, brown and red cover the canopies and ground like a brilliant picture. The now...

Yearly, year in review edition 2011

The year 2011. Began with so much hope, struck by tragedy in the early part and became quite through the remainder. As stated in the first part 2011 was to be a year full of promise. A year in which I thought a large amount of change would occur in my life, on a good note. Several months later I would find that not to be entirely true. I had just graduated from college a few days before the start of this year and was full of hope and eager to move forward. I had great friends to help through some of the challenges that I know I would endure. I was ready for this year probably more than any other year before, oh how wrong I was, and how this would be shown with eight days in the year and several times later. January 8th, the first test in my faith of the year. Not many people through out the world well remember the 8th of January, 2011, but I can almost guarantee that the people of Tucson well remember it. Several people, some of which my family knew, were shot brutally shot by a perso...
