you cannot change your past,
and your present is already in motion,
all you can do is make the choices that shape your future...
for the better,
the brighter,
the beautiful.

interesting what you learn about yourself when you're living life on life's terms. i am continually amazed... and grateful for change & growth. for without change & growth what is the point, life becomes stagnant and you stop learning.

there is always something to learn, you just need to be open to the lesson.

I am a fool...

Ro and i went for a walk around the neighborhood the other night:

Ro: "COME ON MOM, come on..."
Me: "where we going bug?"
Ro: "come on, come on mom (she grabs my hand and tugs) look mom, toys!"
Me: "oh, yes they have toys in their yard, but we can't use them honey... they aren't ours."
Ro: "why? Roen share with momma! i share mom."
