New begining in this big world

I am just a small part of this big huge world. I woke up today and looked at the moon and it made me feel so little. I am happy in my little place. I absolutely love my recent change in career and new location in Ann Arbor, MI. For the past 14 years mornings were a bit different when working in Detroit. My drive down Michigan Ave. to the heart of Mexican Town was always filled with interesting people, bums, and prostitutes. Seeing these things made me realize everyday how lucky I am to live the good quality of life that I live (I've worked damn hard to get where I am). So today as I drove the opposite way down Michigan Avenue toward Ann Arbor I see the complete opposite as I once saw in Detroit. It is so refreshing to see people riding their bikes to work, and others walking their dogs. I wish and imagine that someday all of us will live a good quality of life; I wish there were no dark side to life, no evil, no littering, no drugs, and no bad people.

It's About the Climb

Just heard a great song and I absolutely love it, and can relate to it. I've been at SBI for two weeks now and I am truely enjoying every moment. However there's still challenges both here and at home. Somedays "my faith is shaking but I Got to keep trying Got to keep my head held high."

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
I've got to keep pushing on,

Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
As the song sings it’s about the climb.
