Its been a tough few months. It seems that Ive been reminded of as much death as life, in as many weeks. Announcements of funerals and pregnancies, health concerns of family and close friends, reflection on a year when our Nation and World has lost so many who dedicates their lives to the enrichment of joy in ours. The holidays are always hard for someone, knowing a family member or friend who passed during the season and being reminded of that loss while you try to enjoy the celebration with family and friends. Work seems to droll as most industries are in their busiest seasons and all you can think about is getting out and going home or to see people you love and care about. Just remember... Those that youve lost dont want you to stop and be plagued by their absence. They want you to be strong and live your life because damn it... its worth living! Tomorrow, the sun will rise... Who knows what the tide will bring? Luck is being prepared for opportunity, and being in a ditch staring and your feet while the train passes you by leaves you lost, lonely, dirty, and sedentary. The train left the station and is coming by your ditch. Dust yourself off, stand up, get a running start, and grab that car rail. Theres big things coming your way if you have the courage to stand up and embrace it. No honest person said that life would be easy... but youre going to get through it. Im so done with this year. But you know what? Its not 2014s fault. I didnt have a bad year. I made poor decisions and allowed things that happen that I now feel were unfortunate. Lets keep some perspective on things and remember each today is an opportunity to make something positive from that which has yet to be determined. Lets regroup and focus our efforts, together, to find the good in people and situations. Lets remind one another that the only race worth nothing is the Human Race and the similarities between us that bind us together to create one very strong total community. Lets drop the false pretenses and find some honesty. Lets put out positive energy toward the people we encounter instead of whining, moaning, complaining, and projecting self-pity all the time... Lets look to one another for strength and be reminded of that which we can accomplish together.
