BURNING THE MIDNIGHT

Life has serve me with its ups and downs. I wish the only ups and downs I would ever have to do is push-ups. Hell, I can't remember the last time I did any. I made a New Year's Resolution that I would write once a week or everyday. I can't remember. I think I already mentioned this before. Well, that's what happens to you when you get past your prime. I'm just glad that I wake up everyday. Sometimes, I just want to stay asleep. My dreams are so much better than my reality. But, I do look forward to waking up to a mug of Folgers. And the mouth-watering aroma of chorizo and eggs. I feel that I've done a complete circle and went back to my childhood. The aromas and sounds that surround me, remind me of how it was when I was just a little boy. It's nice. I hope that the days and years to come will be better than what I've experience in the past. That's another thing. I don't worry so much about how things should be or how they could be. "I just take things in stride, and just enjoy the ride." All I ever have to be concerned about is what I am doing.... at the present moment.
