AND THEN...THERE WERE NONE.... We create our fate every day we live.~ Henry Miller ;)~ Amazing...isnt it? The power of just one day, and the attitude that you take into it to change it to your liking. I know for me there have been so many of the years of my life that I didnt know how to change things for the better just by refusing to settle for anything less than what I wanted it to be...which was simply...better... Its one of the greatest tools that I have been given in this new way of thinking, that ability to deny the negative energy all around me instead of being attracted to it, or should I say, it, to me. I couldnt get by yesterday because it was always in my today, and today still being ruled by yesterday, meant tomorrow was already preordained to be the same as the rest...I never had enough good days to BREAKEVEN... but today....life and living it is definitely completely different... In fact I have found out, when I look at it close enough, and try to find out how many bad days there are anymore, I find my answer to be a simple one as well...None. Sure there are difficult days, what would life be without them? But just as I have never really found myself coming up with a good enough reason to drink again, I dont find myself wanting to stop living life either...again, I have to think its that perspective thing that I owe all the credit to...that and a desire to just have some damn fun with it..... In the simple practices of focusing on the good I wake up to immediately, my faith continues to be as strong as it ever was, that the possibilities to come will be as joyous to my soul, as the gift of the day itself is. What I dont like, I now know can be changed. If it cant, then just like the book tells me to....I accept it. Its not always easy. How come it took so long to figure this out? I always ask myself that and the only answer I can come up with, is again, a simple one....Distractions... Me... distracted? To say it like that I have to laugh, and in looking back at the blocks of time in my life in which I have lived different kinds of lives, in different places, and in different ways I can see how it tends to strengthen that statement. You know my story well enough by now to know that some of those distractions, I was lucky enough to get out alive from. Of course they do say bad things happen for a reason. In my new perspective, I also believe that good things do too...So why not base my life around that premise instead of the latter? Choices....Have I learned to trust that good in me enough to follow the right ones now? I would say...yes....I have, and in the coming months, here in the Last Frontier I know that my adventures will continue....I will discover new things each and every day, about myself, my life, and this gorgeous place I am lucky enough to now call home....You can take that one to the bank...My focus, my dreams, my visions, and my every day desires yearn for all that I can get with the time I have left on this Earth...one day at a time....its just that simple anymore.... And for today.....thats all a brother needs to worry about.....and look forward to as well....Live, Laugh....and Love....a lot....if I dont...I guarantee someone else will...so why not let it be me..... Thanks for reading, Lance the new guy Rome We continue because....we can youtu.be/e0puK1w7bGo
