Another try, Another cry

Or is this post a time robbing crime?

Today kicks off another season for excitement, frustration, unhealthy snacks and ROLL TIDE FOOTBALL !!!

Here we go Willie! Another year of high hopes, spilt tears and a championship up for grabs, good luck.

This is tough. I have many years I would want to relive so I could make the changes that affect the present but there is a haunting thought in the dark recess of my mind telling me this is the major one. With that said I guess today’s answer would be 1982. This is the year I got married, and started my over the road career in earnest. I won’t go into detail but there it is.

In the gist of life’s journey I often gripe about the present affairs

I stopped to smell a lilac today and it flooded my memories, taking me back to a time in life where I had nothing to gripe about. The purple flower was a symbol of love and beauty that my mother told me was the gist of life. I was maybe five or six at the time and I wouldn’t trade that memory for anything this world has to offer in these modern times. Memories like these grip my heart strings and gently tug at them bringing tears to my eyes.
