I am here for Friends

About Me

*********************************************************** Wow. I'm not quite sure what to say about me, But I will give it a go. I have been kicking around for over half a century now. I've seen and done a lot over the years, but I know there is a whole lot more out there for me to see, do and learn. I have been a Boy Scout camp counselor, a missionary, a soldier, and a cop. A carpenter, a truck driver, a store manager, and a security guard. A singer, a song writer, a poet, and a performer. A student, a teacher, a leader, and a follower. A son, a brother, a husband, and a step father. I know what it is like to have friends, and to be a friend. And I know what it is like to be so god awful lonely that you are surrounded by total darkness. I laugh easy, and I cry easy, and I am not ashamed of either. I don't think I anger to very easy, but when I do please stay clear. It will pass. I smile with my eyes. I forgive easy, and for this I am very grateful. I have found some very good friends this way. I communicate with feelings, emotions, and images. The words I do use are most often chosen to convey these feelings, emotions, and images. I tend to simplify life into one basic decision. "You can be happy or sad, it's your choice." And I believe this whole heatedly. Every choice we make, every decision we make, every little thing we do in life is our choosing, "Do I wanna' be happy or sad?". I don't always make the right choice, but I really do try to. And the older I get, the harder I try. I guess that's it for now. I may add more later. I would like mention here that I do believe in Magic. ***********************************************************
