Hello all, I am back from my little but unexpected hiatuses. I am having some issues in my personal life, and some needed to be addressed immediately. Though they are not over, I have a better grip on things and I am once again moving forward. I have missed coming here and chatting with you guys and it feels good to be back.

Your friend,
Jon

 

As good that can be expected under the circumstances, you know the saying “When life gives you lemons” well; let’s just say I have been making a lot of lemonade. Maybe I should open a stand down on the corner, but I don’t think anyone would want my lemons.
I can’t help but remember what my mom told me when I was a young teen.

“Son, if you got all your friends together, sat in a circle, then everyone lay their problems out in front of them, you would take one look, pick yours up and go home.”

How true that is, no matter how bad your problems seem, others have their own and at least with yours you have been dealing with them, but if you traded with someone else you have to start from the beginning. Yes I have problems, we all do, but it is nothing I cannot handle by taking it one day at a time!

 

Hang in there brother, when you are near or at rock bottom, the only way is up.
