Life must be understood backward. But it must be lived forward.-Soren Kierkegaard.

One time I was walking down a city street, across the street was a pretty woman. I looked at her even after she passed. So here I am looking backward when all of sudden BAM! I walked into a parking meter! It floored me. You would think that I would be more careful...not me.  A few days later, I did it again.! LOL. By my looking back I couldn't see my future. I look for understanding of my past. There's things I will never understand. Those things I accept. I have to stay focused on my dreams, my goals. If I'm gonna be what I desire, I have to watch for parking meters. Looking foward is scary. I ask myself, will I be good enough? Will I be happy? What if I fail? What if they don't like me? You know, even though I ask those questions I still push on. Looking forward is new to me.  I have activities to keep me focused.

A town prays for rain and on the day the rain was supposed to come only one child brought an umbrella.

I'm depressed today. Monday my wife's daughter is going back to Oklahoma. We've been doggie sittin for her for 5 weeks. I got attached to the dogs. I surely will miss em. I'll get over it.

I'm distressed. I bought Margaret a birthday present and I can't find it. I will have to buy another.

My future awaits me.

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

Dave
