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.

3 years from now and 3 years ago

So I was watching How I Met Your Mother today and there is one episode that they talk about 3 years from now. The concept was actually pretty interesting and saw myself thinking about 3 years ago. The first thing I could think about was that I was finishing my second to last semester of college. That was the only thing that I could instantly think about 3 years ago. As far as what I believed would happen 3 years from there, I would think I would believe that I would have a girlfriend and in a long time relationship and hopefully starting my career. Well here I am at 3 years and I am not in a relationship at all, I did graduate from college and I have a house. The thing that I did hope for is my career and I am going through those steps. This challenge has been very hard and I am only 5 weeks in and have 3/4 to go but I know I can do it. As for relationships I have been on and off so many time about relationship I am starting to think that I could be partially by polar. I guess if...

Open your eyes in a mirror and a whole new picture appears

So the last couple of days have been very interesting if not been some of the best days. Even they day I thought to have turned out bad really wasn't bad at all. Sometimes it takes a rain storm to clear the dirt covering your vision to open up your eyes to the truth that lies in front of you. It also might help to have people around you, show you things that you would usually over look. There is so much that each person has to them yet that individual might not even know who they are until they do something for them to notice it. Each person has been engineered to be some type of person because the majority says that is the way to be. This engineered view makes people believe that they are not the way they should be. I started to realize this when someone told me I need to have confidence in myself, I NEED to BELIEVE in myself, I am worth more then what a group of people say. This is true for every person, each of us has a quality that is unmatched by another. We have flaws that wh...
