So it's been a while...

too long of a while. I have missed my blog. Missed writing, missed reading comments, missed reading old posts and seeing the passage of time. Life takes you on paths that are completely unexpected. Sometimes they are pleasant scenic paths and other times they are rough and untraveled. They make you work hard and dig deep to see what kind of person you truly are. You discover pleasant surprises about yourself, see things you don't really like about yourself and endure things you never thought you could endure. When all is said and done you look back over the journey you have made and say look how far I have come; distance-wise and and as a person. I know that I have just finished traveling one of those unused, dark and unpleasant paths. Looking back over my journey I definitely see baggage that I dropped along the way to make the load lighter. I see how I have changed to endure the journey. I am very happy with the me that is at the top of the mountain looking back along the thorny road I traveled. I have people in my life that are questioning my journey. Why didn't you turn back around? Or I would have done "X" instead. To those people; I hope they can see me standing at the top of the jagged mountain terrain with my arms triumphantly raised above my head. See, I knew deep in my heart I would make it through.
