Among the wild flowers

My road to here has had many turns
These turns have had many views
All the views have taught me well
From these wells, I drank to stay alive
While alive I try to do some good
With this good maybe someone’s life is better
The better you are the better I am
I am among the wild flowers

I was just thinking that I should say thank you more often. I am always in a state of appreciation but I should verbalize it more.
I have friends in Glasgow, Munich, Australia, Singapore and Brazil to just name a few places. That is incredible, looking back as a boy from a small town in Pennsylvania.

I’ve always wants to write great, snarky, witty, sarcastic tweets and blogs but when I sit to write for a minute, all that comes to mind is that I am so grateful. I’m grateful for the strength to understand that the darkness is part of the light. I’m grateful to my friend, Don Baker for telling me to, “Behave now as though you are looking back at your behavior. What do you want to see you having done?” I needed to hear that during one of the most difficult times of my life. Wish I would have remembered it yesterday when I was mad at my sweet, not even four year old:(
I wish I could thank you all individually for all that you do for me and my family. Thank you for your letters and notes and smiles and tears and cheers and love and time.

I am so glad to be among you, the wild flowers.

Love, Pat
