Clarity ...

Sometimes it takes a fog to see the sun ...the fog is slowly burned away and the sun beams down offering a warmth ...a sense of clarity.

For those that have taken the time to get to know me ...clarity is extremely important to me. As my marriage fell apart and eventually ended...it became obvious to me that I could not continue on in my life without some sense of direction ...not just any sense of direction but a clear and uncompromising sense of clarity ...

The past few weeks have seen the fog slowly burned away by a sun that I had not known existed.

Conversation and the knowledge that comes from a good sip of scotch shed clarity on my life to a degree that I have not felt before.

Conversation cannot happen on its own ...and I thank her daily now for allowing me into her life ...allowing her to burn the fog away ...and allowing her to be the warmth of a new sun ... to provide the clarity to move on.

I want life more than ever now ...I need life more than ever now and I want to share my life more than ever now.

Clarity ...the fog burns away ...I can see and feel again ...and I will never love the conversations more than I can now.

Thank you my friend...

Life has a Knack ....

Been a tough year ...but the latter half much more enjoyable than the first.

Shedding the past can be difficult because in reality you never can. You have to accept what has happened and deal with the outcomes. This past year has taught me many things about myself ...my friends and my family.

I am stronger now ...more focused on what I want out of life ...no more compromising goals and ambitions. My friends have shown who they are and although the list is smaller than I want it to be ....they know who they are and what they mean to me. My kids ...well they rock ...they have handled the split like the true grown-ups a parent wants their offspring to become.

Love enters stage right ...and sends your remorse and depressed attitude out stage left ...it can sneak up on you and kick you in the ass like you never knew.

So all in all ....life has a knack of sorting itself out ...no more self pity ...no more avoiding the obvious ...life is too short ...
