Taking it slow
The last few months have been a true blessing. I have been able to create some really good memories with the people that matter most in my life. I think as you get older you start to look around and really understand what is important in life. Its not the job you have or don't have. Its not the material things that you think you need or want. Or even the relationship that despite your best efforts, doesn't work out the way you thought it should. Its truly about being around people that care about you and solidifying bonds with people you've known your whole life and maybe even creating bonds with some new ones that have come along the way. I have spent the better part of this year lamenting over something I have no control over and I am finally coming into a season of acceptance and peace. Accepting the fact that things don't always work out the way you want them to & peace in knowing that its always darkest before the dawn and that you must go through a process to receive your promise.
Needless to say I'm really excited to see what God has in store for me moving forward and for the first time in a long time I am opening my eyes to any and every possibility.
30 Seconds to Mars
Maybe I'm late on these guys, but I am really enjoying what I am hearing from the album "This is War". Its a little different than my usual music choices, but I cant get it out of my ipod. One song that is really sticking with me is "Closer to the edge". Probably the best way to describe how I am feeling about life in general these days. Here are the lyrics & a link to the youtube video:
Closer to the Edge - 30 Seconds to Mars
I don't remember a moment I tried to forget
I lost myself, is it better not said
Now I'm closer to the edge
It was a thousand to one and a million to two
Time to go down in flames and I'm taking you
Closer to the edge
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll make it
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No no no no
Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free
The birth of a sun, the death of a dream
Closer to the edge
This never ending story paid for with pride and fate
We all fall short of glory
Lost in our fate
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No no no no
No no no no
I will never forget
No no
I will never regret
No no
I will live my life
No no no no
I will never forget
No no
I will never regret
No no
I will live my life
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again
No no no no
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No no no no
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No no no no
Closer to the edge
The basic gist of the song is to live with no regrets because in the end that what makes you who you are.
I think I am going to spend more time being me, instead of who people want me to be. Life just seems a little easier that way......or at least so far
Till next time.......

yes! I am excited the blogging is back! Well, taking it slow is definitely the way to go. Living without regrets is my motto. Live each moment as if it was your last. That takes me so far! It allows you to appreciate life and living and the things that truly matter. I too went through something last year. But I tell you what..when I was free..and I actually noticed the sun shining. It brought such joy to my heart. You too will see the sun shine again and be able to take a moment to appreciate it! Welcome back kind sir!
