Changes

I just can't believe the amount of change that occurs in one man's lifetime. I looked back in the archive of the Basegasket Blog and stared in awe. From "Sea of People, Ebb and Flow", I see a young man graduating from High School, not a care in the world. Now, just a few years later, struggles with life's big decisions, school, travels, relationships...like a grown man does.

In "Sweet Sixteen", I see a young girl with all her needs fulfilled. Today, she deals with a broken-down 4 runner and no ride home. Home? Home will always be home, the home in the Gulfwood SD. Even home has changed, she has her own home now. A cute little apartment just off the UTC campus.

"End of an Era", meant the beginning of another, for my youngest. From bats, balls and bases to Fender, Fuchs and feedback. He doesn't show it now, but I think he's planning some changes as well.

I've posted many times about my motorcycle. Well, it's gone too. As a result of changes in other peoples lives around me, it caused changes in my life. That old bike was a big part of my world for 10 years. I remember wanting and waiting for it.

I used to think keeping a blog was very important. I thought it was imperative that someone make record of this wonderful life. With no post from me in a year, you would think I changed my mind about that too. Not true, I still do. I guess I just got caught in the spin of this ever changing life.

Today I have a new goal. It's a difficult target, but do-able. And no, it's not 1/10 scale.
