Today Is The Last Day Of 2013. Before I Go Any Further Into This How Many Of You Say Twenty Thirteen? I Have Noticed The News Media Recently Been Saying This. I Suppose I Am Old Fashioned Because I Continue To Refer It By Two Thousand Thirteen. I'm Sure I Will Come Around Eventually In Saying What Is Politically Correct.
I Don't Believe Anything Earth Shattering Has Taken Place In My Personal Life In The Year 2013. No New Years Resolution From Me. There Are Some Things I Would Like To Accomplish In The Coming Year. However, If I Say It In A Form Of A Resolution It May Make Me Feel I Failed In My Attempts. So Yes I Have Hopes And Dreams In The New Year But I Think I Will Keep It To Myself.
Changing From One Year To Another Is Simply A Measurement Of Time. Tomorrow Will Be Pretty Much The Same As Today. Weather Wise Or Otherwise. Of Course There Will Be Those Moments We Can Mark On Our Calendars As A Day To Remember For One Reason Or The Other. One Year From Today I Will Be Looking Back At The Happenings Of The Year 2014. Hopefully All My Close Friends And Family Will Still Be Around. As We All Know Nothing Has Ever Been Guaranteed To Us.
If There Is Only One Thing I Have Learned Throughout My Years Is That Life Is Short. Yes I Have Heard This Phrase Numerous Times Over The Years But It Really Never Sunk In. My Defining Moment Was When I Lost My Son Bobby To Suicide. The News Of His Death Hit Us Like A Ton Of Bricks. We Didn't See It Coming. As In Most Unexpected Deaths There Comes A Lot Of Woulda's, Shoulda's & Coulda's. Looking Back Just Three Short Years Ago The Memory Of It Feels Like Yesterday. So I Suppose What I Am Saying Is If You Are Harboring A Grudge Against A Loved One, Let It Go. Only You Can Make That Decision. There Are People In This World I Really Don't Care For. If Something Were To Happen To Them Most Likely It Would Not Have Any Effect On Me One Way Or Another. In A Previous Blog I Mentioned I Have Forgiven Anyone Who Has Wronged Me. That Doesn't Mean I Am Going To Lunch With Them Anytime Soon. It Means My Heart Has Forgiven Them. However My Brain Tells Me To Be Cautious Of Them In The Future.
I Have No Idea How Many People Read My Blogs. I Want To Thank You For Your Readership. As I Stated In A Recent Blog You Never Know What Will Be Written Here. At One Point In Time I Stated I Would Never Write A Negative Blog. I Can No Longer Promise This. There Comes A Time When It Becomes Necessary To Declare Your Opinions On A Topic. At Times You Must Take A Stand Whether It's Popular Or Not. To Go With The Flow Is So Ever So Easy.
Of Course I Could Tell You I Will Write More Blogs In The Coming Year. I Could Also Say I Will Ride Naked On Horseback. One Or Both Would Most Likely Not Happen. I Think We Know What It Would Be.
In Our New Year I Think I Will Yawn More Just To Aggravate Those Who Can't Resist Following. Don't You Just Hate That? How About Asking Someone To Pick A Number Between One And One Hundred. When They Give Their Response Let It Be The Correct One. It Would Really Make Their Day. You Would Gasp At Their Response And Ask Them How They Knew.
Remember The Old Expression Take A Step Back And Count To Ten? It Doesn't Have To be An Old Expression. Keep It Real. God Bless.
