It seems in the 2 year period of our absence from the east, something has grown. Skepticism. Negativity. Resistance. I wonder why "change" and anything even resembling the subject, can create such aversion and attitude. Have we really lost our hope.............

Being surrounded or even around persons without it, creates a vacuum of loss in one's life. An emptiness which can be tough to identify as loss, but hope brings life, and is the opposite is death. I can spot it pretty quickly, perhaps because I have faced life with and without it.

I have a strong aversion to complaining and negativity, so to be around it continually, does not work for me. If you spend any time with me, you can usually hear my lack of empathy to it. Perhaps that is a hardening that has happened but.....
Life IS way too short, not to find ways to enjoy it and make it your own........

There are other things I'm learning about myself, in the almost four years that are passing and the experiences I have had. The growth process does not end, but I'm ever evolving, and hoping to become more like Christ. Passionate, purposeful, and powerful...........

Sunday I made myself relax, as my body has pushed back since a full week at work and a trip to Arlington. Anything extra or out of the norm takes everything I have to get it done. Even a relationship is tricky; as adults we have many responsibilities and things required of us unsure emoticon

I am trying to find what the balance is between work, life, fun, and folly..... and with a special someone. I have to be cautious not to react out of past pains, while knowing what is worth handling without fear or concern. I will be more specific when I can wink emoticon

I know now through December some really remarkable things will take place, all in preparation for 2016.
Here's to new adventures............... and no predictability.
