Been a while

A lot has happened in my life, new gf, new job, new stuff all around.  When I started this blog it was when I had a lot more free time, and was in a search for a "healing" & understanding of what to expect or not to expect from life.  I'm still doing that everyday actually.  It was also about finding peace of mind & contentment with life.  I'd still like to blog, because life is full of things to knock the ground out from under our feet & blogging was a nice way for me to sort out my thoughts/outlooks in order to adapt & learn how to roll with things better.  It is also nice to share ideas with others, and get feedback either way.  That's one way we learn.  We're doing each other a favor by sharing.  Everything can be a resource, whether "good" or "bad."  In our short time living, we struggle to maintain our "happiness" without EVER having a bad day, BUT bad days are going to happen...bad things are going to happen.  In my opinion, our job as "seekers" is to decide WHAT we're really seeking for & be honest with ourselves as best we can.  Are we seeking a basic joy of living, along with realistic expectations of life?  I've tried, but things get busy and I slip back to old reactions & attitudes...even if its only for a few minutes before I come to my senses.  I do think this life is amazing and a miracle....every second is a miracle.

I just found my username/password for this account, and thought I'd stop by.  I'll try to devote some time sometime soon to using this account and checking out what you're all writing.  It wouldn't be fair for me to just show up and start writing without visiting my neighbors. :)  That would be like a "blog hermit" or something Hope all is well with you. ttyl -j
