Life is good my friends...

With all the problems in the world today, you would think that I would be worried. I'll be graduating soon. Am I going to find a job? The economy is jacked. If I find a job, am I going to be able to support myself? No loans. Am I ever going to own a house or get rid of that old blue truck I've been driving for 11 yrs? Which by the way is on its last legs, errr tires.

When I picture myself crossing that stage on, December 20, 2008 in UTSA's Convocation Center, all of those worries go away. Because I know that I have finally, after 10 long years, given myself the opportunity to compete in a job market that interests me. No more working like a manager, yet getting paid like a part-time employee. I will actually be putting my brain to work toward something that matters. I will be making a difference in people's lives, and I will have time to spend with the people that matter to me. Although, how much do we actually control?

We vote, and we hope that our leaders make the right choices (I stress, VOTE!). Although, they are only human like you and I, and being we each carry different veiws of life. The decision they make is not always going to be to each of our likings. As long as I can trust that our leader did take all of our lives in to account before making that decision, I will be able to sleep at night. Which, may not be a delight to some people with my recent unconcious noise disturbances... We cannot live our lives stressing on this matter though, because it does get to a point where it is out of our hands.

So, I encourage each of you to live your life to the fullest, smile, and take care of the ones you love. Life is too short to have to worry about all of the changes our world is incurring. Take some time to be a responsible human being, make it a part of your life. You will be surprised by the influence you will have on others to do the same. If we all make a positive influence on our friends and family it is sure to spread, and the world will be a better place. It worked on me, and I plan to continue living my happy life for a long while.
