Curveballs

Life is funny.  You get good things that happen some days, and the next something bad happens.  It's hard to focus on the good things we get when things are so crappy.  Why can't we enjoy the little things that we really tend to just ignore everyday.  The stars are amazing, and the breeze in the trees is the best music ever.  Our God is a wonderful creator and He has given us all so much and all we want is more.  I have a wonderful girlfriend, a caring and loving family, and friends who are there for me if I need something.  It hasn't always been that way, but for now, what more do I need.  I make enough to survive.  I don't need anything else.  But all my mind is consumed with is what I want.  Well, I want something different now, I want something new.  I want to make a conscious effort to enjoy things that I tend to push aside and take for granted.  I'm gonna go for walks.  I'm gonna sit out under the stars and watch the sky.  I'm gonna spend time with the people I love.  It's funny how life can be whatever you make it to be.

It All Starts Somewhere

I used to write all the time.  I'd journal about the things going on in my life.  I wrote poetry and song lyrics.  I even wrote a few short stories.  I haven't written anything that wasn't an assignment in over ten years.  The thoughts in my head are ready to come out.  I am bursting with ideas, thoughts, and just random stuff.  I've never done a blog before, but I've considered it for a long time.  I hope this is something that I come to love doing, and who knows, maybe someone will read what I have to say and think that my thoughts and ideas are spot on.  So here it starts.  Maybe we'll end up where we want to be.
