sigh...

Chalk it up to stubbornness...

I don't think that I will ever get used to certain things. I'll grow stronger from each situation, and I will never lose heart or the will to carry on. It gets to me, some days harder than others... but with everything it takes time, and in a sense, I guess I could say that time is all that I really have.

This has been a difficult year for me... So much loss and pain... Though, at the same time this year has been so fulfilling. It puzzles me how life always balances out through extremes. At least in my life it appears that way. I'll just take it how it comes to me good, bad, ugly... make the best of it all.

Nothing else to do, but pick myself up, dust off and keep on riding...

I love you, Uncle Peppie... and I miss you like you wouldn't believe.
