Spring 2009

03/20/2009

It is official, at least it was here on the east coast at 7:44 this morning, Spring has sprung, and it permeates the air.

Spring is my most favorite time of the year.  As I have said in previous posts, this is the season of renewal in nature, and it is a time of renewal for me.  As my grass and the fields around The Farm begin to green and the buds on the trees begin to burst forth, this old boy gets to renew himself, also.  I get to look at me and ask myself if I am who I really am and who I am meant to be.  I get to take a good look in the mirror and search my soul.  Self introspection is a good thing. 

Too many of us want to put our misery on the shoulders of someone else – sort of like politicians.  We tend not to want to take responsibility for our actions.  A few years ago I adopted being fully responsible for what happens to me in my life.  Damn, if it doesn’t just make life so much easier.  No one else is to blame for the stupid shit I do.  No one else is to blame for my health issues.  No one else is to blame for cutting me off on the road.  No one else is to blame for my inadequacies.  No one else is to blame when things at work go wrong.  No one else is to blame for things not getting accomplished.  No one else is to blame for my colds and flu.  I am fully responsible for what happens to me in my life, I do not point the finger at anyone, and this is the time to renew it.

And that is all I have to say about that…
