Went to see my good friend Irma yesterday. We have been friends for years and because of so much that has been going on in our lives, we had not been able to take time to see each other and catch up. We had a great lunch and caught up on all our news. We even played a game of bowling and ping pong on xbox and had a blast. When I was getting ready to leave, Irma asked me if I had received her message on my blog. I told her I had not. Then it happened, she said you know I was surprised you wrote a blog, I remember you saying it was something you would never do. And that's when it hit me right between the eyes, I had absolutely said the n word, I had said NEVER. Here I am eating my own words. How often do we say that word, never, only to find out it turns into the reality that we have actually done it. It is funny how often we say that word and find we forget saying it as our lives change and evolve into something different. Never is a very permanent and forceful word that we use but seldom mean for it to be forever. Every day we are faced with a new reality and our life changes, maybe a lot or maybe a little, but change just the same. So we change and adjust to our new reality and continue to move forward. I think never can be a dangerous word for us all, and it needs to be used with the utmost of caution, because we are human after all. Being human means perfection is an illusion and we are a constant work in progress. So here is to blogging, something I said never about but I really just meant maybe. Hopefully this will be a journey of self improvement and I will be able to change myself in a positive way. So Irma, here I am eating crow....... and blogging away.
