Priorities

Its been a ride from The Lagoon to The River to The Sea. Each phase of my journey has been a sweet bitter memory. I will not say it was a horror reel but yes the journey is never easy and I am not expecting it to be anything smooth further.
There was a time when my world was toys and games. Envying and fighting for the toys the other kid had that she would not share with me the first day she got the toy.
Then it became the pimples that would sprout once in a blue moon. Dont mistake me I NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH PIMPLES but it was not having them, that was my issue. I considered having pimples a sign of maturity. All teens had them except poor me.
Then came the boys. How to attract a boy was then my big on the list?
I wish I was again back to my childhood. Yes, I enjoyed enough that I dont have any regrets. I also had my share of problems. But it was a bliss to have childhood.
I have moved on from the lagoon to stream to river now. I find rowing through the river a little bit more hard than previously. I am in the process of building a ship or something for myself and, yes, now it includes my teeny tiny JoAnna. The Ever Busy Body. I am glad to have her for the ride. She makes my journey purposeful and less difficult.
See friend, the one thing you should know is that, this journey is not easy but if you have a straw to hold on for yourself, then grab on to it with your life. Let me tell you, that can make a difference.
I have not seen anyone without a refuge. I have seen many that deny that refuge. Life is a long-short journey. Collect as many jewels as you can in your path. Treasure them. Then when you dont have the energy to row on, go into the treasure box and pick each jewel one at a time and reminisce the good old days. As the fuel empties and your ship wear out you will gladly dissolve into the salt of the sea.
BON VOYAGE!!!!!!
