I think I need to change the title of my last blog to "craziest YEAR of my life". This year (2008) is now officially the most exciting of the 25 years I've been around. So many exciting life-changing events are happening at such a mind-boggling rate of speed, I'm having trouble even remembering all of them. Perhaps I'm just embracing a new zeal for life and therefore lumping everything into the "exciting" category? Possible...but I don't think that's the case. I think I've actually just spent the past 4 years slowly clicking my way up that first big hill on my roller coaster of life. After a while, it starts to feel like you aren't even really going anywhere.
Well I think my car is just now starting to crest the hill. I'm tilting forward as the car in front of me heads down the track and for the first time I'm starting to realize just how high I'd really gotten. It's a heck-of-a-lot higher than I thought! I can see the winding, twisting, non-stop thrill ride that lies ahead of me and I know for a fact that it's going to be "intense"...like a roadside Amish bread stand (courtesy of Jake...ask me if you want an explanation on that one).
Yeah, I see the ride has some tunnels in certain parts. I have no idea what's inside them or where the track goes once I'm in there but I know it's still going to be a fun ride. I'm sure some parts are going to be more fun than others. It might even be downright terrifying at times; but once I've reached the end and it's time to get off, I have no doubt I'm going to be saying "Wow, what an awesome ride!"
That's a long way off though...I hope. I'm still at that first hill (everyone knows the first hill is always the most exhilirating) and you bet your sweet bippie I'm going to make the most of it! My lap bar is securely fastened, my hands are up in the air and I'm ready for the ride of my life!
