California Adventure: Day 6

Thursday July 29th 2011

That was my last full day in California, and what a day it was. Actually it was the night that was spectacular. Going out with friends and having a great time is what made it so great.

You learn a lot about yourself when you go out and you let yourself relax. People tend to be more drawn to you, you find that people want to be around you and feel comfortable with you.

Meeting new people is a bit frightening, and sometimes these new people think that they can have more from you then you are will or able to give to them. That's when you learn if you have strength of character or not.

There is a fine line, one that I found myself standing precariously on the edge of. However, when you are with true friends who have your back you are empowered to make the best choices without sacrificing having fun or loosing your integrity as a human being.

But, these are life lessons that can be applied to all situation, and until you have actually experienced an array of situations in your life you are not armed with the experience to deal with any situation that comes across. Strength in character comes from the journey we go on. We can choose to not travel the path and stay stuck in one place, or we can hitch ourselves up and start moving down that path.

It can be a slow and painful journey at times, and sometime the path is hard even treacherous. Sometimes you get so use to the straight and narrow that when the path begins to veer in a different direction you are not always ready for it. Or if you are constantly looking down watching your every step so you don't stumble that you miss everything in front of you that has passed you by.

My journey began 6 days ago.

I'm not done yet, in fact I have a long way to go.

It has been my pleasure to share this experience with all of you.

GOD Bless You
