Birthday Blowout 2016: New Sunrises and Sunsets in My Life
Dear Friends,
Today is August 3rd. Only 17 days until I am 38. I know this is begining to sound tedious to say what today is and countdown mt birthday. However, next month it will get wilder and more exciting. Plus I am trying to figure out how to fill in the blanks in between the holes of my entries. Plus trying to write something relevant as opposed to ramblings and nonsense. I am noticing that it is easier to be open than hide a secret. Besides, I only look forward to one day at a time. I am reminded that tomorrow is not guaranteed.
As I keep counting down the days until my birthday, I am reminded that my birthday in a sense means fall is coming. That also means that change is coming. These days, I might not welcome change but I adapt to change. These last three years since my absence from blogging is a lot like when a famous band take a break but come together again to make good music. The only difference is that my abesence was triggered by a series of events I believed I talked about prior to my final entry of 2013. This time around, I won't let something trigger my lack of entries. To be honest, I fight just to see tomorrow.
As this day ends, I value a good sunset as well as a good sunrise. Unlike being in Detroit along the riverfront where the sunrise and sunsets were amazing, being in Monroe and seeing the sunrise and sets is almost as good. These days especially now, I value seeing a sunrise and also a sunset. That's my life basically, seeing the sunrise and going through the motions and fighting to see the sunset. I shouldn't have to battle myself or try to force myself to do half of what I do in a day. For now, I am just happy to see another day end and see a new day rises. Thank you for reading this entry.
Your buddy,
Eugene Chandler
