Aspire To Be…

Today on this day my thoughts and prayers go out to the soldiers and there loved ones. Me as an individual have never taken a side on much of anything. I’m always as the neutral, never the forward. Growing up I’ve only had one person close to me that has been in the military and been in an actual war. My grandfather served in the Korean War.

Never has it been spoken of, I have no stories to tell. Its like “fight club”, first rule of fight club “don’t talk about fight club.” If he has had post-traumatic stress disorder, I am unaware. Since, those years in the military and ever year after he dawns his uniform proudly for the country he served and for the people he swore to protect. He has become a prominent fixture in our society. As a loving husband and father, a deacon at his church, he has surpassed many in life and lives on as a reminder to all of what he fought for us to keep. I’m honored and humbled by his choice, wishing that I could be as brave as he. It’s a different time a different war now, but the reasons are the same. Freedom is a choice that we have and our hope is that it is one that we can keep.

I finally set down to work on my blog. It’s not that I’m computer illiterate. Just lazy, or maybe I got to much on my plate at this time. I actually should be taking a test in my online gerontology class. Anyhoo. I finally set down to figure this stuff out. I was hoping that it wasn’t going to take to long. My patience are at a minimum and I jump from one thing to the next at warp speed. Had I know that there would be so may options I would have prepared myself. I don’t make decisions, quickly hence the procrastination on my part. I setting thing up as I go. I got the ftp thing down. I have picked a theme, and am now setting up pages and categories, etc.

Maybe I’ll get the rest of the stuff on my blog in the near future. It is a work in progress. I would like to post pictures, maybe music, list some of my favorite sites. Entertain my brain with interesting topics. You know all the good stuff blogs represent. Good wholesome reading material. I may finally post something somewhere so people can read it. I’ll jazz it up before I send it off to be published. Don’t want to be to hasty in my endeavours. One thing at a time.
