Sharing good times...

Sharing good times with friends is something we should all do. It was my pleasure last weekend to gather our skating family together for an out of rink encounter. We had dinner together at Doc Chey's. It was a great time, we agreed that we would do this monthly and try new places and food along the way. Next month we are going to an Indian Restaurant in the Grayson/Lawernceville area. The following month we are going to go to my friends Deb and Rick's restaurant Joe's in Loganville.

Over the last week my life has had many twists and turns. I found myself in the middle of a break-up of two of my friends. Let me tell ya darlings this is one position that you don't want to be in. Its been hard for me because I care so much about both of them but yet I keep sticking my foot into the swamp. I just can't win in this situation so silence is going to be golden. I just have to let both of them rant on and keep my mouth shut. Do yourself a favor if you're ever in this situation, run like hell and don't look back, otherwise you will sucked into the middle and next thing you know your acting as the middleman or worst yet the pass though for forgotten items (lol). Well given everything that's been going on I'm still very thankful to have two great friends, even though now I can't spend time with them both at the same time.

Things have been going well with work for a change I just have been working what seems to be very long hours, I think its more or less because I've been working all those damn mornings. Sorry but 5 am to 2 pm might sound great but when you get up at 3:30 am its not fun at all. Then there is the fact that I'm not one to get my butt into bed early, its normally at least 10:30 0r later before I head off to sleep land which really does not leave me with much sleep.

School has been crazy, I have week off right now and I'm very thankful for that fact. I made the deans list with a 3.87 GPA which I should be very happy about; but yet I wanted to do better.

I have to admit its been rather strange for me the last few weeks in general. Things are going on in my life that have made me appreciate what I have and really allowed me to be very thankful at the same time. Its funny we tend to live our life's on auto-pilot and not really every stop to smell the roses as the saying goes. Its really amazed me how when you start to view the world either through the eyes of another person or with a more positive out look, how much better it appears to be. Its also very interesting to notice all the small things that you've never notice before.

Well I have a vacation coming up in the first part of April and I'm looking forward to it more than anyone can every image. I just need the down time from work and the world for a few days. I'm not really sure that I'm going to be doing just yet. My dad told me I could go and stay with him in Florida. I really think I just want to go camping in the woods somewhere away from cellphones and TV's for a day or two. Do some hiking and just get back to nature and appreciate what it has to offer.

Well it's time to call it a night. Once again I have rambled on way too much, as my normal sign off let me share with you a quote.


"Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down."

Congrads on the Dean's list. Glad everything is going good for you at this time. You really deserve it. Just as I've always told you "Keep your chin up and keep plugging along, something to will happen"
