The Life Race

I have always been a competative person, thriving on stress and excelling at what I do when there is someone challenging me. I have recently realized that there is no need for someone to challenge me, Life is always in a race with me. You may all realized that I have not posted anything here in awhile and I know you miss me Life caught up and I had to handle those challenges before I relaxed. Of course that is what I love, Life gave me a couple of challenges and I take it in stride. Last week I was invited to sit down with a Senators office to talk to them about an issue that has been pretty important in this state. It was an honor for this Korean War Veteran to not only invite me but to thank me for my service to the country. The whole week before I went there I was of course nervous. I have never been in a situation where I was able to tell people what I think and have them actually listen. But this Senator and his "People" listened and (although they want my vote) they actually seamed like they cared what I thought. I have been invited to speak on the subject at the local University this friday. Stress, Makes me bust my @$$. On top of that I am in the process of buying my first house. I am going to be a land owner. I have never been in one place for more than 4 years and have never had the feeling that I wanted to stay long enough to buy a place. I am really excited about this and look forward to letting my kids decorate their rooms the way they want. So the race goes on but hey, Talking about something that you are pationate about is nothing, and I have a realator that does everything for the house. Why stress? I have also been asked to be the Outreach assistant for this organization and work with other organizations to a common goal. Not enough? I was asked by another organization to build a web pressence for them and help do some online marketing for them. Still not enough... I have been given more duties and taken over another section at work... On top of that... The Good news, I go to court next week... I should get Child support after that.
