Insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results.".....Albert Einstein

By Einstein's definition, it would seem we are all insane.  History repeats itself and so do human beings.  Comfortable with the status quo, we have a difficult time anticipating change.  So we continue to do the same thing over and over, expecting different results.  Whether it relates to personal or professional relationships no one truly wishes to see change come about even though change is typically a positive growth period.  

Once change has come into our lives, after the anticipation is over, we usually find that change is a good thing.  There are always exceptions to the rule...

This blog will be about life in general and my life.  The things I've learned over the past half of a century and things that I think may interest somebody. There will be good and bad, hopefully the bad did or will bring about positive changes.

Any posts that have to do with the dark side of real life will be there in hopes of helping just one person deal with something that they have buried deep within and are still feeling the pain of it.  Nothing posted is fishing for sympathy nor do I want pity from anyone.  

I hope that somehow my words of experience will take on meaning to someone out there in the world.  If it eases even one day of life for them, it will have been worth it.

Some of my life's experiences are mine, and some are others that I have been witness to or I saw the after effects of the experience through a friend's eyes.

A friend once asked me, "if you could change just one thing in your past, what would that be?"  My answer:  "I wouldn't change anything, everything that has happened to me in the past, makes me who I am today.  And I like who I am today."
