Some Thoughts - A Little Random
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you chose another path in life?
Well, let me the first one to tell you to STOP WONDERING. There is no magical time machine that can take you back to the moment where you chose or did not choose what you are questioning. But what I am going to tell you is that your ALIVE. Take the opportunities that are in front of you and make something of it. Life goes on and reveals glorious things and without taking the chance or trying to make something of your life, you can never change a decision that you once made. If you thought of changing careers but your children were small, then do it now and try something different. If you were going to buy a convertible car, but you thought you would get looked at odd because you are older, BUY IT NOW! Enjoy life.
My grandfather told me recently," If I would have known what I know now, I would have given up the luxuries of my life and enjoyed my family more."
Think about that! A man worked 100 hours a week for 30 years and never realized while he was working that his family was going to grow and he would lose the moments of life with them!
So I tell you this, if you regret the way your relationship has deteriorated with your children, FIX IT! Do not think that it is not worth it! Your kids are your life, realize that their life is your life, and within each of their soul is a tiny spec of your life. Tell them you love them, reach out and invite them to lunch. Money does not make a good parent, love does.
I also want to adress in this issue of Joe's random thoughts the concept of alcoholism. I know it is a disease and I know it is totally difficult to let go, but realize who you are hurting. Not just yourself, but the others around you. There is a person I know, who constantly thinks that the world is out to hurt him, but he is the one hurting the world. STOP DRINKING!
