Transformations

The last several years have gone by at lightning speed.

So many changes. So many transformations. So much growth.

Living with my teenage son has been an emotional roller-coaster ride.

My own life has been an emotional roller-coaster ride.

We've both settled down quite a bit, but I sometimes stop in my tracks and think, "How did I get here?" - Both psychologically and geographically.

If you'd told me 10 years ago that I'd be living in Texas, I'd have said you were nuts. It's not a place I ever thought I'd put down stakes.

I didn't plan on it. I just ended up here, running away from something else.
In fact, all of my life I've been a tumbleweed.

Circumstances change. That's the one true constant.

Right now in my life, everything seems to be going really well. It's almost too good to be true.

I don't place any trust in anything lasting. We are humans, afterall, and as such, will endure challenges all throughout our time on this earth.

It's an adventure. I'm always looking for something new to do or to study, or to try. What will be next?

I don't know that yet, but whatever it is, I'll be stronger than I ever have been before.
