Life....It Finds A Way!

I just realized I missed February's post. slacking I am! It has been a month of all the things, then a few more things, and then OPE! another thing. I always say it is better to be busy than bored and lately busy is good, idle hands and all, you know how that goes.

Oh man where to begin, Oooooo Life! Sooo many Ooooos and opes but onto life finding a way.

Life is that rollercoaster of a highway, with a squirrel, a car, and ope the squirrel got hit by the car. Now there's more to that one, is life the rollercoaster or the highway, are you the squirrel or the car? Although now that I think about it, nobody wins in the squirrel/car scenario, I may circle back to that. In every aspect of life there can be rollercoasters, the ups. downs. twists and turns that roll our stomachs into knots and makes you feel sorry for the people downstream of the projectiles that are hurdling their way. Life doesn't have to be that way, well depends on if you like rollercoasters.

People can be fit into two categories, the one's that love rollercoasters and the ones that leave part of themselves dripping from the supports. Personally I hate rollercoasters but in the last year or so they have been easier to manage. A different outlook straightens the tracks and turns that rollercoaster into a highway, second star to the right and straight on till morning.

Now happiness feeds into that with everything, always try to be happy. Life could shit all over you but laugh it off and go about your day. I find happiness in so many of the random things of life. The Oooooos and the opes encircle everything I do and it always keeps me on my toes. Happiness is something that shouldn't be locked away either, spread that around like a damn glitter bomb!

There are two people that give me a happy I never thought I'd know, I call them my pseudo-neices. No relation at all but there are times everyone wonders haha! Those two hit me like a ton of bricks and I'll tell y0u, nothing lights up a room than kids with all their Ooooos! I have been very fortunate to have the chance to be around them, add some random, old soul Matt knowledge to their outlook. I never saw myself with any sort of paternal instincts, but I'll tell you this, anyone hurts those girls, whoever did it is going to have a bad day.

I wasn't fortunate enough to have kids. Earlier in my life the thought of having kids just didn't seem appealing to me. I mean I am just a big kid and back in those days I was just trying to find my place in this crazy world. Now speed up time and now I'm 41 and reality of me not having kids of my own sets in a little more everyday. It's one of those things I have to come to my own terms with. I spent the bulk of my life pouring my energy into the wrong things in life.

Where the hell was I going with this? Anybody have any ideas? Maybe it's time to circle back to the squirrel/car scenario. Wow I actually circled back to something! Gold star!

Now do you want to be the squirrel or the car? Car is flying though life like a freight train to its destination. Squirrel is bobbing and weaving and scared shitless that it is going to be hit by the car. Do you want to be the the car running down the squirrel or the squirrel getting run down? Me, neither, I'll slow down and brake for the squirrel. Why fly through life when you can slow down to save the little things. In that scenario, life always finds a way!!
