Thoughts...
On Money...I remember the good old days, back before I decided to become a best selling author/publishing giant. Back when all I had to do with my money was spend it all on me or whatever little trinket my heart desired...back when my habits made sense. Where it didn't matter if I spent two-thirds of my paycheck on dinner with friends, or three full paychecks on gifts for the family for Christmas. Yeah, those were the good ole days. Back when my bank account account was actually quite attractive. But shit done changed. My once lucrative cash flow is suddenly quite dry and severely depressed.
Can I have my old life back, please?
On Thanksgiving...
I love my family. I love getting together with them. I love how we have grown and continue to grow. I love how time just seems to fly when I'm with them instead of dragging. I love how we open our arms to those who may not have the family connection we have. I love how giving and understanding and forgiving we are. I love how the young folks respect the older folks. I love the precedence the older folks set for the younger folks. Though there is room for improvement, it still manages to be all good.
On Anniversaries...
Four years ago I met someone. On that day we debated whether or not we had the right stuff to sustain a relationship in a lifestyle hell bent on pieces. We charted our future and determined we'd be good for another year or so. Four years have passed. Four long years. Four forgiving years. Four will you stay on your side of the bed years. Four, are we going to make it years. Four don't worry, I'll be here years. Amazing what can happen when two people believe...
On Scriptures...
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not cast it out?' He said to them, 'Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
Ever get the feeling God is trying to tell you something? This passage has been on the brain for weeks. I think it's time I started believing.
On life...
It's not that serious. Really, it isn't. Now go out and have fun. After all, somebody has to...
