Hop Scotch

Hopping from one thing to another has become my life style. To name a few examples, I've danced, sang, played instruments, acted, played sports, knitted, sewed, raved, played video games, and wrote poetry.. Stability and commitment are two prodigious challenges I find myself facing. My mind is jumbled up and the thousands of puzzle pieces are scrambled. Where are the missing pieces? What goes where?
If I can decipher each detail and explain my thoughts clearly, then I wouldn't be struggling to write this right now. Usually, you'll notice me stammer, stagger and mumble my words and, boy, is that frustrating!
Halfway through a story or thought I tell, I pause and wonder what point I'm trying to get at while asking myself, "What the hell am I talking about?"

My thoughts, my memories, and my purposes.... Escape me.

I'll continue later. I'm feeling a little tired.

CHANGE&CHALLENGE

Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
-George S. Patton

It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
- Greek Proverb

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
- Norman Vincent Peale

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
- Andy Warhol

In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
- Author unknown

If you don't like something, change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
- Mary Engelbreit

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
- Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed
- Storm Jameson

ATTITUDE

..Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
- Anonymous

Be who you are in every situation.
- Michael Johnson

People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
- Anonymous

SHOOT ME.

I don't usually put people on blast but...
Bryan, you're annoying.

I just lost 28 minutes of joy and contentment.
However, I just spoke with Earvin earlier for the past 21 minutes and I feel better now.



OK BYE! :D

I still have a lot to learn.

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
