Yeah! It's Winter People! There will be ICE AND SNOW.......


The day is gray. White snow is everywhere. The tree's that look sadly dead. The roads are filthy with slush and dirt, the trucks look the same. There are drivers that look tired and haggard, but, snow? they say "So what! It's snow and ice. It's always going to come and go. That never stops drivers. They keep pushing out there. That is thier job, their livelyhood. When there is work, they take it. It is scary. There have been plenty of times that I have had to close my eyes, pray and faith.


Today I have good new and bad news. The good news is that we are not out there. The bad news is that there is no work to be had. So, in this season there are a lot of people out there with the same story. This can turn into a positive thing though. Time has come for life reflections and self examinations. It all comes down to the fact that no matter what socitey does during this time of the year there will be moments where we will all be stuck. Not able to do much but think, so there is no better time to reflect on ourselves. How are we moving? Are we moving? Not much time for ruts in this life. Sometimes the direction doesn't even matter but that we are moving. Moving forward is always the best and you may be but it just doesn't feel like it.

Life changes. It can't be stopped. So maybe it's how we change with it that determines the directions we are going in our lives. I have a big question. Here goes.

IF YOUR LIFE DID NOT REVOLVE AROUND ANYONE ELSE BUT CAN ONLY BE MOVED OR CHANGED BY YOUR ACTIONS ONLY, NOT REVOLVING AROUND SOMEONE ELSE, WHO WOULD YOU BE? WHERE WOULD YOU BE?

Is that a big question or what? If you were giving the opportunity to decide what you wanted to be or do and told that your achievments would be the only way to move ahead and improve, who would you be?

I am not 100% sure but I know somehow it would have involved what I am doing now, just a lot sooner in my life. Does everything happen for a reason?
