I was warned that living a decent life is hard to do. Many temptations, combined with laziness and a lack of discipline have been working against me for awhile now, and I have to reorient myself to my return to faith.
It'll be good that I'll be seeing my sister and nephew on Easter Sunday, and a friend on Monday, followed in May by seeing my second cousin graduate, and then stopping by a friend's house on the way back, followed by another friend coming into town just after I get back in town. I don't get to talk to a lot of people I know face-to-face (or even by phone) other than my family, and I need that too.
I still think about Sharon and wonder when she'll not be too busy to contact me, but then again, I'm not holding my breath for anyone. If I had anything resembling the romantic moment I shared way back five months ago, I'd be a happy guy. I don't live in the past but there are special moments I do like to remember, and enough bad ones I'd like to forget. The one with Sharon I'll remember, but I'm not living there, by any means.
In the meantime, I'm hoping to establish more contact with people. I think I isolate myself too much and then when I do step out, I'm feeling over my head. Didn't Joe Jackson say something about Steppin' Out?
