Wouldn't it be nice, if when we turned back the clock, we could go back to another time period? I would love to go back to my 30's. It was a good time in my life...my kids were still little, we were living in Plymouth and I had such a passion for life. There was a very dark, sad period though, I lost both my parents when I was 34. It made me stronger and all of a sudden, I was the one that had to have all the answers. Rich and I took a huge risk and moved to Indianapolis. We left everything that we knew and loved and took a chance at a better life. I had all the faith in the world in Rich. Hard work paid off and Rich achieved in his career. We found a new life here and my kids thrived. I am so thankful that we took a chance. Indianapolis is home, but our heart will always be where we were born.
I have learned alot in my 59 yrs. of life...I know I don't have all the answers...my kids look to me sometimes for them and sometimes, they would rather I keep it to myself. The one thing that I always try to keep in mind is that there are always two sides to every story and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. I have found that to always be the way it is.
I am so thankful that I have found a new passion. Even at my age, it is what keeps us young. My friend Ron Moschel, has given me a story and a mystery. He wants me to write Mary's story. I feel a little intimidated, because I have never wrote a story like this before, but at the same time, I am excited to create her story. We may never have all the answers, but it will be interesting to see where it leads us. I have a vivid imagination, so it could be quite a story.
So tonight, I will turn back my clock and think about all the times in my life. There has been good times and bad times. No ones life is a straight road. Most people find themselves on a roller coaster. You strap yourself in and raise your arms. Even the lows are ok because you see that hill in front of you and when you get to the top, everything that got you there....is worth it.
