Focus, Determination and Drive

I haven't posted a blog in a few months now and to those in waiting I apologize. My world recently stood still for a moment, but now it's spinning again. My father suffered a heart attack while serving in Iraq just before Thanksgiving. I was living in California and had to relocate to Texas and be with family. He is healthy and well now (Thank God) and I have realized how little time we truly have here on Earth.
So I say now if there is something in life you want to enjoy or experience than make it happen! Stop watching TV, spending time surfing the net, wasting time on video games (I know World of Warcraft can suck you into a time warp) but you are wasting your time. Use your time to create for yourself a better future. If you're in school . . .study, you own a business. . . focus, you have a family, hobby, idea . . spend the time. My cousin (who is a Chiropractor) use to tell me "Work hard now, play harder later!" I realize the importance of that now and wish I had listened but that saying rings in my ears along with "Don't be lazy!" (I got that from my uncle Sam), "What are you waiting for?" (from good old dad) and

song lyrics by Kanye West that go like:

"Work it, make it, do it,
Makes us harder, better, faster, stronger!

[played in background, continuously:]
Work it harder, make it better,
do it faster, makes us stronger,
more than ever, never over,
Our work here is never over.

[Chorus:]
N- n- now th- that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'cause I can't get much wronger
Man I've been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on you"

You know what I'm talking about. There's plenty you need to do (and I) so hop to it! I will be posting more often and will include you on my journey to becoming a Children's Book Author. "I am back in full attack!" (words from my deceased fiance, who was killed by a drunk driver in a drunk driving accident on 1/20/2002 R.I.P. my heart!)

"In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest."
~Henry Miller
