Right does not always mean easy.

     Life is not easy.  No one ever tried to tell me otherwise.  But there come those times in life that are more difficult then others.  Then there are those more difficult times that someone close to you is involved.  When this happens the situation is compounded greatly.  I currently find myself in this type of situation...with kids in the middle of it all.
     Usually there are two murky paths that lay before you, not knowing where each path will end up.  The destination of each path is so far beyond the horizon, it can not be seen.  You have to make your best educated/gut instinct and follow the path you feel best with.  Hoping that the destination is what you envisioned.  My dilemma has gradually made my choice easier. The paths that were before me where becoming more and more clear.  So clear that I know the path that I need to take.
     So why Can't I?  I know it is the right thing to do.  I know that it will be best for all parties involved.  It would put me more in a situation to succeed and move on happily with my life instead of sitting in this muck.  Not that my life is terrible, but seems to be a never ending stream of Shit happens just when things start to improve. I think I am on the ladder, climbing out of the crap and then I slip and fall in the muck.  I recently realized its not a ladder, it is a wheel.  there is no up, only around and around.  I need to get off this stupid ride and find the ladder that was meant for me.  But to do that means a road that will not be easy.
     Maybe that is my issue.  Up until now, there have been very few things I have fought for.  I don't like to fight.  It usually means hurting someone, and that is VERY low on my "Things to Do" list.  Very few things I have taken the hard road to get.  I have not really needed to.  I work hard and live my life my way.  Im what you call a roll with the punches kind of guy.  Not that my path has been easy...but rarely have I fought upstream.  Apparently this is the world telling me to start now. Get off the damn squeaky wheel and search for that ladder.

One Day

One Day
By: Josh Krogman

One day the world will awaken from its blinding slumber to see a new vision
Not the nightmare we wallow in today
One day people will look upon others for their spirit and love
not their money or color
One day people will accept and respect views that differ from their own
not kill over thoughts or religion
One day people will look upon this planet for its beauty and wonder
Not profit and development

One day the animal kingdom will have clean and safe homes to reside in
Not water, skies fand land filled with poisons


One day food from mother earth will belong to all its inhabitants
not just the privileged and rich
One day sharing of all goods you have to offer will come second nature
not just a thought trapped in your head

One day it is my hope to see the world free of all of its vices
and if people are always trying to make a difference
it will happen.
One day
