Realization.......

I realized something today, I realized that I have spent so much time looking at my past that I have not seen much of a future. When you are looking behind you, you miss so many wonderful things in front of you. It does not take strength to hold on to your past but the true struggle is to simply let it go. For whatever reasons my life seems hard I'm learning to not curse the bad things in my life but to thank God for allowing me to see and appreciate the good from the bad. I would not be who I am today were it not for the experiences that I have endured, this past year has helped me open my eyes to the several factors that have caused me hurt and anger. I am going to spend the rest of my life simply loving who I am and those who are in my heart. I spent most of my life in disguise with a fake grin on my face saying " I'm Fine ". I have had so many things happen to me and my family both immediate and extended, some good and many bad. And I am proud to say " I'm Happy ". I know that life comes with ups and downs. ( And most times there are more downs than ups ) I love my kids, I love my wife and I love my life. What more can anyone ask for?
