my summer project?

It is a lot to take on but I really want to have my life story down on paper. So yes, an autobiography. I will probably leave the blogging world (as if I blogged regularly anyways) and start this new summer project. 

Here is a little bit of what I have so far...

I counted as one by one raindrops fell on the roof of my car. The familiar noise put me to rest, got my mind off the current endeavor doing lap after lap in my mind. My car, my escape that I could trust to keep me out of harms way, my home. A home, warm (check), cozy (check), a place to relax (check), all the following describing my car. So many times, just like this one, i’ve snuck away to this safe haven of mine. The seat cushions sunk in, as if wrapping their arms around me, allowing me to know that every thing is going to be okay. Old school softly played its funk through my C.D. player as Gladys Knight her self spoke of “a simpler place and time”. Then I stared down at my loose change compartment full of all sorts of junk and good ol’ Abe gazed up at me with his bronzy smirk. He proceeded in telling me that, “Hey I may walk slowly, but at least I’m not walking backwards.” At that moment it dawned upon me, every things going to be okay, just hold onto that simpler place and time, and keep moving forward. So I dared to close my eyes to reach that state of mind. Shielded and protected in that car that night, the genesis of a transformation not known to man’s hands worked its way inside of me. With my eyes closed, humbled in the presence of God, awareness like never before entered into my consciousness. It was then that I realized I was now ready to put together the pieces of my life's puzzle that have been scattered for so many years.


So i'll leave you with that. Hopefully I will be able to finish writing this summer and have more to share on here.
