Back to the past....

As usual, not a clue what to write about.  But, thanks to our awesome teacher, I was able to come up with an article a while back that really struck me deeply.  There is a writer that writes about the backwoods I think it is called and he travels around and well, I have only read the one article I want to jive about.  He decided one day as he was researching or for whatever reason he decided to return to a childhood home that he had a great deal of memories of.  He dropped in on an old neighbor and friend and they reminisced for many hours.  And he began to think of whether or not he would change anything that he did as a younger and a bit more brash youngster.  And he decided nope.  I began to rethink this myself as I have touched on thinking before.  I came up with absolutely not.  I have had one hell of a ride and many adventures I will call them intense, life altering events.  And then some.  where I am at today even with adversity and amazingly busy and sometimes chaotic I am able to focus and deal with it with a smile.  No matter what, my little ones make anything and everything worth savoring every moment I can interact and be a Daddy.  That my children thankfully adore.  More than my wife, he he!  So with that said and one incredibly long and jumbled paragraph I will close with the fact that I in a sense believe in the butterfly effect.  Step on a butterfly in the past and possibly alter everything.  I simply wouldn't change a thing good or bad from my past at the thought of anything different than the gifts I am blessed with now.  My children, my awesome and very supportive wife, the opportunities and challenges I face and so on and so on.  Thank you Nikka for making me again think about this subject.  I may have forgotten it again.  It is never a bad deal to appreciate life and what you have.  Thank you.
