It’s been a while eh?

Life’s been a whirlwind of adventure. Both good and bad. Mostly good though, with a little bit of great involved.

Since the last time I wrote, I’ve become a home(condo) owner, I’ve owned 3 different cars, been in and out of two  relationships and am now the proud owner of an American Foxhound named Bella whom I rescued at the Dumb Friends League.

It was love at first sight. I went to the shelter on a Saturday, and due to bureaucracy and red tape, I wasn’t able to adopt her until a Thursday. They wouldn’t allow me to pay for her until she was “adoptable”, nor would they let me put a hold on her so everyday I made it a point to call the shelter during my lunch break, and spend 15-20 minutes with her on my way home from work.

Kind of unusual I thought, I couldn’t do anything with her until she was adoptable, but I suppose that’s life.

Yea, that’s life. Unusual.

I’ve been through alot in the last 10 months. Some good. Some bad. Some great.

Before I purchased my home in Febuary, I was in a relationship that seemed to drag on longer than it should have. It was emotionally draining, and one in which I didn’t feel appreciated.

After the relationship ended, I went into another life altering event which led me down the path of home ownership. I’m not entirely sure which felt more crazy. Being a home owner, or being a home owner going home to a completly empty home. It was a good change for me, one in which was good for the soul. It gave me time to think, time to “gather my nuts” as many squirrels would say. 

I did, and a relationship later I’ve learned a couple things about myself.

 Or at least I think I have. I say that quite alot, but as each year passes, and every time I go back to reflect I I learn. I never really make the same mistakes twice, just new ones.

There is a saying, that if you build a better product, the world will build a better idiot, and when it comes to my life I’m the better idiot.

So with my mistakes and my life, I’ll continue to do what I’ve always done. Learn from my mistakes, make the most of the lessons learned and keep trudging forward.

Because if there is one thing that I have learned, and that I have held on to in my life it’s this.

It’s that it’s ok to look back whenever you like, so long as you keep moving forward.
