Rediscovery

It's been a lengthy process and I am learning alot daily.  You know, this whole "rebuild yourself" thing isn't just something I can do over night.  Interesting point number one is that I am not entirely building something new.  I remember the direction, drive, dedication, strength, passion and will power I used to have.  I will never be the same, I will never be as pure in mind or spirit. I know I have been changed for the rest of my life in some ways but that's not entirely bad.  I am much wiser having lived and done what I have done and seen what I have seen.  I have more compassion on people because I have been at the bottom and I have been at the top.  I don't take things for granted anymore and I am not arrogant like I used to be.  So what do I want to be or do? Well that's interesting point number two.  I want to be like I was as a young man in that I took the time to read my Bible, I took the time to work out and I took the time to have a little me time.  These are three really important things to helping to restore my strong mental fortitude.
