A whirlwind of change

Well, over the past couple years things have been going through a rapid cycle of change. My health, friendships, romantic interests and relationships, and work have all been affected. I never knew that so much would happen in just a short time. People that I thought I knew well didn't turn out to be who I thought they were. Some of it was positive, but with the positives come the negatives. I always have had a hard time warming up to new people when I transition to a new place, but with those I have met while in the military, they put up a facade of being this great person and end up as quite the opposite. I am back to not knowing who can be trusted and I am not so sure that I like it. I have endured much pain and frustration, and I am hoping for a resolution... yet again, we shall see what transpires. I need to look to the future and start making new plans for the life that lies ahead... a new career choice, most importantly, and looking into more schooling and certifications. I also have to decide where I want to settle down. It would be ideal to be near family... we shall see.  Everything has it's time and place... it all happens when it is meant to. 

I am reminded of a song that was originally from Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 (and I am not much of a religious person, but this poetry is significant). "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)" by The Byrds...

"To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven..."

Who knows what new and exciting things will happen this year... I look forward to what lies ahead. I'm powering through and not looking back.
