New year, new goals. It is nice to have the illusion of a new beginning...
As a family we are dealing with school, school, school, and more school. Greg is always in the process of endorsing & pursuing a higher education. I am finally finishing what I started so long ago. Having to wait for this time nearly killed me, yet here it is finally. It is discouraging how close I am to the end, and how long I have to milk it for. If I have learned anything, I can wait a little longer.
There is ALWAYS a price to pay for what we really want & need. Our price has been, time & sacrifice. I am happy that is all we’ve had to pay the Pieper, and not loss or regret.
The past three years has been filled with death. We’ve experienced the loss of family, children-(not ours), & friends. Death is no stranger to any of us. However, it continues to present itself in my life. I am grateful for it’s presence. It reminds me of how precious this one life really is. It also helps me to love people a little more.
I am far from perfect. My closest family & friends know this. If I were to die today…I’d go straight to Hell! (At least it’s warm there, unlike Eureka-) No…I’m not “ready” to die. I don’t want to be. I do not want “fear” to lead me in this life. If I died today, at least I know I’ve lived!
May 2009 bring your family & mine more time together.
