Well this is my first blog, I am not a very open person when it comes to my thoughts or feelings and or ideas except to those I am closest to, so this will be a challenge for me to keep up with this blog. I hope I don't bore anyone to much, as what I will have to say will be my thoughts and feelings only.
To give you a glimpse into my life...I grew up in Alabama down on the Gulf Coast, for the most part my younger years were great, full of love, fun and family. My parents divorced when I was around 12 and years later went on to marry other people. Was I happy with my parents divorce? No, what child is, but over the years I came to understand that it was the best thing for them and probably for us (my brother and I). My teen years were to wild to say the least, with my parents divorce I, like most kids took advantage of that and quilted my parents (Dad especially) into letting me do things or go places I was to young for. I was left alone a lot also which is never good for any child. Let me state right here and now that I do not blame my parents for this.. they did the best they could with what they had love, time, guidance and money. They taught me how to love, showed me respect, showed me how to care for others, taught me self esteem ..though it does lack at times...taught me to love music, what it feels like to make people happy about themselves...how to be strong, independent, tolerant and to except people for who they are not what I want they to be.
My father passed away back in 2005 and I miss him dearly...but I remember him for all the good times and things he taught me and the things he tried to be in his life, he was a great person, loving, kind, giving, talented writer and musician. He taught me to love music, how to sing, how to love others and give to others, he was a fun person to know, he made me laugh, I remember he loved to tell us scary stories and he was great at Halloween. I miss you every day Dad!
Hmm, I think I will leave this here and pick up later....
