It's been more than four years since I've posted anything here, and I made a promise to myself that I would start back up again. Anyone who knows me knows that I need some kind of creative outlet, and am also somewhat opinionated.
For those of you who don't recognize the name of the post, it's the title of a Celine Dion song circa 2001 - 2002. After you're all done rolling your eyes (and I know who you are), take a moment to reflect on the title with me for a moment.
Each and every day is a gift, one that most of us (myself included) choose not to celebrate for various reasons. Our jobs, our families, our homes. Something is always giving us stress. I've spent the past four months experiencing severe back pain, and the possibility of surgery, and have wallowed in that pain the entire time. But it recently hit me that, in spite of the overwhelming physical pain, I still have life. Every day brings to me the opportunity to do more, be more. To learn something, experience something new. To LIVE.
There are so many things to experience in this world, and I've seen but a small few of them. And now, I realize this needs to change. While I may not travel to lands far and wide, I promise to try and 'see' something new every day. And I hope you'll all follow me in the journey.
Until next time, be well, be happy, and most of all, be true to yourselves.

glad to know you are still alive :)
sorry to hear the pain has got you down :(
by chance one of the special education teachers I used to work with a few years ago mentioned on facebook that she is moving to a small town in northern AZ with a very familiar sounding name. It made me think of you.
I do that from time to time.
Hope your job is worthwhile and enjoyable.
Miss ya old friend
