Thanks Festus for making me smile with your post here.
Thank you for taking the time to make me realize that it can be that good!
Thanks soooooooooooooooo much:-)
and thanks for giving me some hope, AND some strength.
(hug)seriously folks,there is a wonderful realization to this "circle of life".Look at it in the frame of a Timeline.Imagine you are 9-12 years old.What do you do with your pals?You go out,hike in the woods,explore neat places,play all kinds of ball,all day long,go in at dark,take a warm shower and go to bed feeling like you could sleep like a dream.Go ahead 8 years.What do you do with your pals?You go to the one,s house who just got a bag of killer weed and hole up tokin and jammin on ear-splittin rock stuff till your head feels like a balloon with too much air in it.Then,you muster up the strength and spare change to go to the store and score a few bottles of MD20/20 or some Boone,s Farm Appleberry wine,then you all go down to the abandoned lot and swig,smoke cigs and roaches,then go to some party somebody told you about and there,s a few pills floatin around,you score a few,take a few,then at some point,you find your way home after stoppin by a bush or 2 to finish pukin,go home and fall in the bed with the room spinning around and around and somewhere you settle into a dark coma-like sleep,shattered by nightmares and night sweats,get up the next day and recuperate till evening so you can do it all again.(Stay with me,guys,it starts to get better).Lets span ahead,10 more years.Hopefully,common-sense coupled with a new-found sense of self-respect and responsibility has taken hold by now and you,ve managed to finish your education,work a job you really enjoy,then at 5:00,what do you do with your pals?You meet at the"Y",kid around a bit about the deal you closed or the contract you got goin,you all put on your old shorts and tennis shoes and you go for a nice cross-country run,yep,that,s right,through the woods,exploring a few of the old paths to see where they go,kid each other about how a bunch of ugly guys like yourselves ended up with such beautiful,loving wives,attractive,well-mannered kids,you go back to the facility and play all kinds of ball,then you get home at dark,take a warm shower,then kiss your kids and congradulate them on the"A,s" they got on their report cards,sit down and eat a dinner fit for a king,while you make the plans for going with the kids to the campground this weekend,discussing the details with that stunning wife you still can,t believe is yours.You go to bed,feling like you could sleep like a dream,only thing different is,unlike long ago,man,you,re Living a dream!Nice thing bout all dis:it can REALLY be this way.....if you REALLY want it.Festus
