It’s been a while since I have had an opportunity to compose any thoughts. Now it is a new year. A time for new opportunities and new friendships. Last year was like a rollercoaster ride. This year will hopefully be more stable, or at least more sane. So far it’s looking very good.

Everything that occurs in life is a stepping stone to the next paragraph and the next chapter. Without the steps I’ve taken, I couldn’t be where I am.

The new year brings a new career, a new step in life. One without the camoflauge uniform.  Now that I am free from the burden that military life can bring, I feel free and less stressed. Although it is a bittersweet goodbye. I made many friends along my journey, but I can now concentrate more on what matters, my family.  My children need me to be there for them. And this year I promise myself that I will spend more time with them. It’s a difficult balancing act. Family, friends, work, play, and a wonderful woman. Each of these things needs time devoted to them. But there is only so much time to give. At least some of those things can be combined.

The next big step in life is my wonderful lady. She brightens my day and has a big heart. She is young and beautiful and knows what she wants. She is independent and responsible and is everything I could ask for and more. I would have never expected that a meeting on the highway would bring me someone who is so amazing. I guess that when you aren’t looking for something, you find it. Strange how that is.

Hopefully a new career and a new girl will bring more stability and help with the time I need with my family. Only time will tell if I’m taking the right steps. More steps remain to be taken however. But I can only take one at a time.
