Picking up...

It's so hard to pick up or follow through with something, including this blog. I have restarted this blog several times now and this time I am hoping to keep it up. It's been almost a year since I last blogged but it has definitely been a rough year. I don't think I can began to count how many ways I have slipped, tripped, fell, got up and did it all over again. But there is a lot to be said about a man who has practically been to hell and back several time in their lifetime and yet gets up, dusts off, and keeps marching ahead.

I haven't lived long, not even a quarter of century yet but the experiences and trials I have endured have molded my character to a somewhat ancient soul living in a youths body. Sometimes I wonder how I came out of certain situations but I have and frankly, I must have one good memory blockage. Or perhaps my memory filter decided to hang onto the good times only hoping to reserve my innocence long enough before I realize that this world is nowhere near perfect. Whatever may be the case, I am still here, surviving and still believing in the goodness that can potentially exist. After all, that is my secret to picking up and moving forward.

Till next time....
