No Patrick its not another 'let's save the tiberian rain snail from cross breeding with a Yeti to give you a creature with a rocky texture that moves incredibly slowly.
Its about a new start, its about seeing evidence of months of hard work, prayer, positive input by many friends and grace. Add to that a pinch of hope and stir in a small breath of faith and maybe, just maybe those shoots have a chance to survive and blossom.
What are these shoots? Well there's a home, a job, friends, an acceptance of the need for medication (I still fight this one daily) and two amazing daughters. There is chocolate, ripe avos, home made burgers and prego rolls. Ice cold beer on a hot summers day, the taste and allure of your first cup of coffee of the day. A smile from a beautiful person and a wave from a child you don't know.
New days, new hope, shattered dreams that somehow seem to work themselves out in the end. A good old fashioned sob in a hot shower and thoughts of old love and the anticipation of new prospects.
I somehow feel the need to wipe the slate clean and awaken with years of baggage, prejudice and guilt and just smile and take a new step into my new adventure, I mean isn't that what this blog is supposed to be about!
Sometimes with growth spurts come growth pains and as such we have to shed a tear before we can see the sunshine.
Good night all.
