Thomas's Story
Now 53.
One of the best things that happened to me was the epiphany that I couldn't change people with my violence but that if I was to live life to the fullest was that I had to change me. Once this happened, a peace came over me that has forever change my life. One of the best quotes that portrays this is that of St. Francis: "Preach the Gospel and, IF NECESSARY, use words!" Basically, show people how to live in a way that love is given to them that may change them also. Kind of "pass it forward".
I use to have such road rage that, now, if someone is...Expand for more
driving in the left lane (I drive fast), that I just pass on the right (remember: stay right, pass left), give a little toot (to say they shouldn't be there) and go on my merry way. Nothing bothers me anymore. Believe me! AND I'm married to one of those things called a "woman". :)
But, if I was asked if I wished I could have live it over again; I would say NO. Because, if I didn't live it, I wouldn't have learned it.
See you in 2013, that is if the December 21, 2012 Nostradamus/Aztec "end of the world" prediction is another farce.
So be it! God Bless.
