I have often wondered why people wait so long to live their lives? I am guilty. I am very guilty. The old saying "get busy living or get busy dying" rings very true with me. Yet, I sit passively by as I watch other people living their lives. I suppose that is why, at 36 years old, I have decided to better my life by becoming a Registered Nurse. I can no longer be idle. I can no longer accept the excuse "everyone else, but me." Why not me? Why can't I have the very best? Have I given every effort to better myself, my family, my future? I can honestly say I haven't. I have coasted. I have let the current take me where I am going rather than paddle the direction I want to go. I have weathered many storms, many waves and I am sure there will be many more of these storms in my life.

I am not a saint. I rant a lot. Some times I get heated in my ramblings. If you are botherd by an occasional F-Bomb, turn away now. If you don't mind it, stick around, read on. You'll laugh and cry all in one viewing!

Wow!! I must honestly say that hit home. I have been wanting, no needing this change in my life. I think about it all the time and keep coming up with the same answer...Start inside of me.
Well done Eli. Well done!!
