We strive to find inner peace and strength, but most of us will never find it. We are too busy letting stress take over our lives. Instead of taking one day at time, we let ourselves get overwhelmed by what we have to do today, tomorrow, next week and even next month. On top of that we constantly worry about how others perceive us. All of these negative things overcome us and we forget about all the positive things that are happening around us. If we only seek to find the negative things, then this is all we will find. We can choose to be miserable and to hate life or we can choose to embrace it and find the good things in life and to learn not to dwell on the bad things that will inevitably happen. We can’t control everything that happens around us, but we can control how we respond to these things. Life is full of surprises. We can choose to roll with the punches or we can sit in a corner and wait to die. Personally, I’m going to roll with the punches. If life is going to take me down, then I’m going to go down fighting.

Holy hell I haven't been here in a while. I'm so ashamed! I've decided that I’m going to stop complaining and feeling bad for not writing and just start writing again.  So the next few days I’m going to write about anything and everything just to get myself back to the writing mentality I used to have.  Writing is my life and I haven’t been living.  It’s been like my brain got stuck in the off position and every time I thought about writing all I could see was a black wall of nothing.  I don’t know if it’s because of the pain or if something else is going on in my head, but it has to stop.  You can’t fulfill your dreams by sitting on your butt, watching a million episodes of Law & Order.  All that gets you is a sore butt and wicked nightmares…really wicked nightmares!

I hope everyone has been more brilliant than I have for the last few months!  Have an awesome day/night!
