Three years ago, are you kidding?

I revisited my post "Moments of Clarity", not realizing that it is almost three years old! Things have changed in my life since then, but not like I really wanted them to... This is not a bad thing though, I have come to realize that at times, the things you think you don't want are actually a blessing in disguise. These "blessings" I believe are putting me on a path towards a happier and more rewarding life. I guess that I'm finding that no matter how "in control" you think you are of your own life, it really doesn't mean anything because life can throw you curve balls, or roll you out of control at anytime, and it's only in those times when you dig down deep and deal with things that find out what you have in you, and what in life is really important. Hard times fall on everyone, and if you think that they fall on you more than anyone in the world you are not alone in that thinking, just keep in mind that if you learn from it, and grow, then maybe those times weren't has hard and dark as you thought.
