Opportunities to Succeed

An adventure takes skill and knowledge to pursue it and succeed. Though through times you will run into those occasional dead ends and have to turn around and go back a bit....or take the hedge trimmers and just cut right through your way and make a new path. Either way you do it, you make your adventure happen. That's what is happening here with me. I have some up's and I have some downs...sometimes more downs than ups but still....I'm getting my adventure. It's time to make things positive. Life is my adventure and I'm going to enjoy it.

It's time to let the little things pass. I'm not going to let things get in my way. I have my hedge trimmers with me and I'm going to break through.

Though, I want to let all my friends know....you all know who you are (Douglas, Boston, Brockton and online buddies) that I'm not forgetting any of you. You are still with me. But I hope each of you understands that the strengths I need are for me to become stronger. Each of you have helped in so many ways and now it's my turn to contribute. Don't you worry. I'm not going anywhere and I'm not running away from any of you. I just want to say thank you for everything you all have helped me with through out the times we've had together. You guys are the best and it's something that makes me so proud to have each of you as my friends.

Lastly, I want to bring up a quote that I got from work to enlighten everyone's day and future days. "When you have a bad day, look in the store, see the customer and always remember to smile in the aisles!", from my boss and assistant manager, Meir and Justin. You guys are great!

So keep up the good work out there and always remember, "smile in the aisles"!
