Life has been so crazy lately, and as the days lengthen into summer, I spend more time looking out my windows into the Texas sky pondering my life.............where it is, where it's been and where it may go. I used to think that I had all the answers, that by having a clear vision of where I wanted to go I would eventually get there. I just don't believe that anymore. With each new obstacle thrown into my way, I want to throw in the towel and give up. For some reason, I just can't. Maybe it's the promise of something new that always guides me, or maybe it's the shining faces of my daughters when they were younger. I made promises to them when they were born, promises I cannot break. Giving up is just not an option. Always I think about Jack and Rose struggling through so much to survive the sinking of that historic boat. Yes, Jack died, but in his sacrifice, in his faith, someone else survived. ---------------------****--------------------------****-
