1. 1963 being born, that started this whole thing.
2. 1982 leaving home at the end of my dad's foot.
3. having nothing to eat and no place to call home.
4. 1984 Lawrence dies and I learned how to cry.
5. 1988 fell hook, line and sinker in love, I find out just because you love someone it does not mean they will feel the same.
6. 1991 found myself in the ER with the neurologist telling me I may not walk again.
7. 1996 road my bike 150 miles just to prove I was healed.
8. 2001 all the childhood fears become a reality, planes are flown into the twin towers and the Pentagon, flashbacks of the air raid sirens going off, walking single file to the hallways, hunkering down and having to cover our heads. The United States has been attacked. Watching the television with tears streaming down my face. What the hell!
9. 2003 I turn 40, have a big bash and realize I have lived nearly half my life already and what have I accomplished?
10. 2005 I'm 42 and have had the same job for 21 years, half my life, it's time for change.
11. my father has a heart attack, my mom gets sick and I realize they will not be around forever.
2008 I'm 45, I'm riding my bike down a trail and wondering what will happen tomorrow? how do I make myself a better person? I pledge to talk less, listen more, allow the random thoughts to enter my mind and to explore their meaning, allow myself to feel what I am feeling and not cover it up. I'm good with being alone but it is much better to have someone to share the fun stuff with. I need to get back to my spiritual self and away from the material world. I will work less and sleep more. Is this one of those moments???
peace
