When I look back over the span of my life, I see so many changes that have made me who I am today. Every single incident in my life has formed the man I am today, from growing up in a split home, to having my first drink, smoking my first cigarette, falling in love with the women of my dreams and finally finding God in the midst of my sorrows. Every single day that I have lived has been a journey that has taken me from my dreams to my reality. If I could go back in time and change anything, I probably wouldn't because who knows where I will end up and it may not be where I am today.
Growing up in Brooklyn NY gave me the edge that I needed for the rest of my life. I have calmed down a lot since I moved to Florida, but I think that was more out of living within the unknown. Not sure if the struggles that I faced without work was more because of my inability to land a job or the fact that it was very hard to live and adapt to a new state that I never lived in before.
Over the years I've learned a few lessons, mostly ones that have helped to mold me into the responsible dad and husband that I feel I am to make sure that my family is my priority right under God and that our lives are lived the way that God expects us to. But not to sound as if we have it all together, because we don't but to have some normalcy with the hopes that when our boys get older they will know that mom and dad will always be there for them even if their own journeys take them away from what they were taught at an early age.
My focus on this journal is just basically to share my inner feelings and thoughts and maybe one day my boys will come upon this journal and read on how all of my thoughts became my reality.
