I believe the #1 season or situation has to revolve around relationships. Life is incredibly short. Especially when you get to the end of it.

I remember asking my daddy, at 89, as he lay on his death bed, if he felt good about where he was. He said "Honey girl .. I still have soooo much to do" ..

Now for Daddy that was a BIG statement, cuz at his memorial service he had 300 attendees. At 89 that is a BIG statement in itself.

He never stopped BEING. He never stopped CARING. And most importantly, in his life, he never stopped LIVING.

yea i dont beleive that ill ever run outta things as well.. most importantly ill never know everything.. i can only learn.. and that is what life is about learning new things.. for some things in the past i thought i knew till i found something new similar but with a twist.

fade i did the same thing.. with a good paying job.. i lost touch.. of life.. ive since decided to never do that again.. however i dont regret what i did for doing what i did also did some things for me.. made me reach some goals.. however without that job my goals have changed a bit as well.. we all need a touch of different things in our lives.. and just need to do what is important to us at the time.. which is all meaningful! its good to have to explore i must say!!!



Funny. Cuz my fav quote was always "To live without risk is to risk not living" and yet my life had lost it's adventure.

Glad you are growing as well. It's a GREAT place to be.

I think I'm about where I should be.
A month sober today. Friends that care about me. Plans on finally leaving my state with my best friend. I have a cool Tigers hat.

Mingle friends. Win.

Desires never fade, even when I'm asleep, but I'm alright right now, and that's all that could ever be right at all.
