Ride

It is a funny thing that happens when you have time to sit back and think back on you life and look at the mistakes you have made.  I realize what I could have done to  prevent  things from turning sour, but now that I look at the way the dominos fell, they fell the right way.

Why do I say this? Well since I filed for my two year degree and get ready to prepare for the next step in my life by going to a four year school, I am also looking at the handful of friends that have really helped me on this path.  Sure, one just got out of the Marines, and another I have just really got to know, but in a way there were there as well in helping. 
 
The others, well one is extremely level headed, and his advice while it is blunt and straight forward, it is valid and always helpful. The other, well he is one you can always vent or talk to and will lend his ear. All of us that know him will do the same and will be there for him as well.

In all this though I know I have good friends, and at the same time I have no idea where I am going to be going form here. I have a plan for the rest of my college days, but from there on out it is anyone's guess on where I go from there as it is for me.  I guess that is the fun of life, seeing where it leads, and while I am a firm believer in redemption, I also realize that some things just can never be salvaged and are not worth attempting.

So as I continue on this ride we call life, waiting for the day it stops for me, how ever long or short it is left for me, it is really assuring to just know that I have people that I can count on  for whenever this ride stops running.
