Life

Ya know........life is a series of contradictions. It's a roller coaster of ups and downs, good days and bad days. Heartache one day, true love the next or even tragedy. Maybe even all in the same day but that's what makes it so RICH! The irony, the contradictions and the confusion. But in the end, I have dicsoverd that only one thing truly matters.....love. The love that you give to others and the comfort in knowing that you have made a difference with someone or made an impact that is not forgotten. 

Which brings me to my biggest fear in life. Being forgotten after I'm gone. It sounds trivial but that truly does stick with me.  A friend told me recently to stop talking about dying or my "you know what" was going to get kicked! :-). Well, just because I talk about it doesn't mean I'm giving up. One of my favorite come backs is "I ain't dead yet!" That is oh so true! I am far from it. My intention is to be around at least another 20 years. I've got too much going on and intend to have too much going on for quite some time.

The Lord has blessed me so far with the time he has given me and the friends that I have. There are oh so many out there that have unselfishly given their infinite support. And I can honestly say that without it, I would have died last year. So, a very genuine and heartfelt "thank you" to all of you. You have all made life so much sweeter for me and I hope to do the same for you.
