Yes, I signed up on Pinterest<\/a><\/strong>. I refused to for the longest time but finally got hooked. These apps on the iPhone, I am telling you. My step-daughter Emma showed me the \u201cSnapshot-app\u201d for the iPhone today. Man oh man!<\/span><\/p>\n

Could this quote on the piece of paper above be more right on? I found it on yep, Pinterest and wanted to share it here because I really love it. It is just a simple reminder to be in the now \u2013 to be in the present. We all have made bad choices in life. I mean, this is why life is life. Hopefully we learn from our mistakes. However, I am working on not believing that these \u2013 let\u2019s say missteps were bad choices I have made. They have not ruined anything or stopped my progress at all. They haven\u2019t even slowed things down. We are all in this journey called life. All these experiences are just part of an open-ended journey. This journey is just huge and awesome and full of good stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many times thoughts came up that I regret certain things in my past. This mantra \u201cdo not have any regrets\u201d is sure great but if you really think about it, in reality it is not always that simple and easy to do. But looking at my life now, right now, the way it is \u2013 well, here i am now. Right here. Right now! And of course I would not be right here with all I have without my past and my experiences. All incidences in my life \u2013 good or bad led me to today and I love where I am now. In a way I have to thank all of those sad, bad times that were just part of my trip. So thank you bad relationships in the past. Somehow you made me realize that there are good guys out there and that there is something very special if you find the \u201cone\u201d. Simply, if I do not value myself, no one will. I have just no time for garbage anymore. Life is too short.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also want to thank an ex-friend. This person ruined many good memories and I just realize that once someone says \u201cthey are there for you\u201d and when shit hits the fan and you see their true face and they are busy \u2013 it hurts. But I learn. I live and learn right?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you previous job that you sucked so badly at points that I started looking for something new. Thank you past city that this constant need of rushing around and noise made me look for something else and made me enjoy quiet and solitude again.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is all good. I am grateful for all these memories and times. This is all a path, a road or map if you will that leads me to somewhere else. I do have this main idea where it will takes me next but who knows. Things can change so quickly. I always try to remember all the work I have done to get me where I am now. To just accept this and appreciate life the way it is now is just priceless. Always remember, things can change in a heartbeat and cursing the past only tarnishes the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
