Well, well, well....

How have you been?

I have not posted since February and as you can imagine, life has been a whirl wind of events both good and not so good but all together, all have been excellent learning opportunities that I hold dear to my heart.

I write tonight with a thought on my mind that I must express through writing. The thought is simple yet complex in its response. The thought---when will things get better? Some claim things will get better when people get better. Why is this? What is it that is missing from some that is evident in others?

Try answering the question of when will things get better or even try asking it to someone and I can bet that you receive a response such as "I dont know" (with a head shake) or the obvious "when people get better".

I believe that things will get better when people decide that they want better, that they deserve better and that they will do anything positive to get better. It is sometimes simpler to say that someone or a group needs to just "get it together or do better" but this is easier said than done. There needs to be a plan, a time to talk out the plan and that plan needs to be refined as time passes.

These pass few months, I have decided that I want to be better. I want to better than my mother was and her mother and her mother's mother. I have decided that not only will I not settle for whatever, I will not settle for just being better. I will challenge myself and everyone that I come in contact with to work harder to be better than before forever.
