I am constantly reminded that life "happens" while you're planning it... The goals that we seek are elusive as they evolve into new ones the closer we get to them. To truly LIVE is to enjoy the journey... The people that are closest to you will hurt and disappoint you the most, but the people that truly love you are forever loyal... Anger and resentment will rob you of the short time you have been blessed with and there will always be others who will heal your heart~~~ if you let them. I hope to be wise enough at my weakest to move through my obstacles as quickly as possible; as time is intolerant of regrets... I believe that if each and every one of us had a glimpse far into our futures, we would do things much differently..... NOW. Cherish the people in your life! Nothing else REALLY matters!! Whether wealthy or struggling, you will laugh the same, cry the same, worry the same, and love the same... It took me a long time to realize this and I think it's starting to finally sink in, but sometimes what you want isn't always what you get and in the end, what you get can be sooo much better than what you ever imagined!!!
