2016

Lengthy...but last blog of the year for me was worth writing: 

2016...wow, where do I start...it's been an up and down year for me...relationships, friendships and associates (oh my)...etc., (through death, pure disagreements or unsatisfactory) have helped me grow...fun fact is...I am still growing...WE are still growing as imperfect human beings. We tend to fall apart yet the key to life is how we put ourselves back together again. Humpty Dumpty...we know the story right?!? A reminder as we survive these last few hours heading into 2017 is to remain positive through storms and remember that another persons troubles may be greater than yours. In addition, be mindful that different people are placed within our lives as puzzle pieces to help us build n' see life's bigger picture for what it is. I am no genius, but life's experiences is a game of Tetris...either the pieces will fall into place or not. You make the decisions that control your life but with each that you encounter you learn a valuable lesson (win/lose) of how to utilize them going forward to grow and help others. Not a day goes by, that I do not ask what is my purpose? How am I here to help others? For most that know me, I can be stubborn (Taurus...take no bull 😊) and will inquire if the nonsense is nothingness. Just call it like I see it (hurt your feelings...sorry (not sorry) 😂, yet...not a mean guy and love to joke/share laughter...if ever wrong...there's never an issue with apologizing. Finally, if you need me...I can say that I try my best to be there and if you want an honest opinion I am entitled to be truthful, even if irritates/ticks you off (again, sorry...not sorry). However, this does not mean I am insensitive to anyone's feelings, because I do care (contradicting or not...that's just me) enough to tell you the truth. Overall, thank God for allowing me to have a circle of friends/mentors no matter how old (or young) they may be...that I can turn to for difference of opinions to address any flaws they may see. I pray that he continues to work on me as the New Year comes to fruition. May you all be blessed and thankful for every breath you take and know there is meaning to your life as you develop yourself and others in positive growth or manner. Smile people....cheers...and Happy New Year to all! Make 2017 your year of betterment and accomplishments...do not talk it...walk it!
