Step Back And Watch

SORRY IT'S BEEN A FEW DAYS SINCE MY LAST BLOG ... LOTS OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.  
FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM.  I HAVE SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING FRIENDS IN MY LIFE.  I HAVE LEARNED RECENTLY TO START TELLING THEM MY FEELINGS AND THANKING THEM FOR THEIR FRIENDSHIP.  I KNOW I WOULD NEVER WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO MYSELF AND THEM WONDER IF I WAS THANKFUL FOR ANY OF THE THINGS THEY HAD DONE FOR ME OR HAVE THEM WONDER IF I REALLY CONSIDERED THEM A FRIEND.  I LOVE MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS ARE PART OF MY FAMILY.  
THESE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE MADE ME REALIZE THE POWER OF CHANGING PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS.  MY TRUCK ENGINE BLEW ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND I HAD TO RELY ON ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS HERE IN LAFAYETTE TO HELP ME.  VERY HUMBLING EXPERIENCE.  THEN HAD TO BUY A NEW CAR ON SATURDAY AND WHICH WAS ALSO VERY HUMBLING.  I COULD HAVE THE DOWN AND OUT OUTLOOK ON THIS LIKE WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND POOR PITIFUL ME BUT INSTEAD I HAVE STEPPED BACK AND REALIZED THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THIS SITUATION.  I AM SAFE, MY TRUCK ENGINE BLEW WHILE HERE IN LAFAYETTE AND NO OUT ON THE INTERSTATE SOMEWHERE AND I HAVE A NICE NEW CAR THAT PRACTICAL AND ECONOMICAL AND WILL GET ME FROM POINT A TO POINT B AND STILL ALLOW ME TO GET TO AND FROM WORK WITH NO DEPENDANCE ON ANYONE.  I AM BLESSED AND HUMBLED.  I AM ALSO HUMBLED BY A THE KINDNESS OF ONE OF MY LONGTIME BEST FRIENDS FROM BACK IN THE PARISH WHO IS OUT HERE IN LAFAYETTE WHO HAS ALLOWED ME TO STAY WITH HER AND HER FAMILY.  THIS HAS HAD SUCH A POSITIVE EFFECT ON MY PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE IN GENERAL.  I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THESE TWO PEOPLE AND THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE FOR HELPING TO EDUCATE MY PERSPECTIVE OF HOW LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST CAN AND SHOULD BE.

EDUCATE YOUR MIND AND NOURISH YOUR NEW PERSPECTIVE IT CAN AND WILL BE LIFE CHANGING FOR YOU.
