My Fellow Houstonians:
Greetings and welcome to a day in my simple life. I put some good thought into this before I sat down to write this post. Today was just an average day for me. Wake up, prepare for the work day, get in my vehicle, make my usual stop at the convenience store for coffee, grab a newspaper, then onward bound to my usual route to work.
This afternoon, after I got off of work, came home, did my usual cleaning up around the house and for some reason I got into the MO of having what we use to call in the military a "GI Party"(veterans know what I'm referring to by the expression). After I threw my little GI Party, I lit an incense stick, an incense cone, a handful of scented candles and threw the "Shepard Moons" cd by Enya into my surround sound, stretched out on the couch and relaxed.
Im quite sure, many of you reading this are thinking, "ok, GDub, where are you going with this", right?
Friends, many of us live such a busy and hectic life that we barely take the time to just sit back, relax, and appreciate the smaller things in life. I look back on 2007 when I went through my ordeal w/the legal system, which happy to say, I'm halfway through my term of satisfying "Your Honor" and have successfully passed random unadultered testing along w/staying current on the fees assessed to the county monthly and am still gainfully employed along with being clean and sober. Many of you who responded to the post that I wrote a few months ago when I went public w/my incident have been a tremendous part of my success to be where I'm at today.
I apologize if I may have become a little side-tracked w/the theme of my post. I just wanted to briefly keep everybody that was concerned and supportive to me updated on my progress.
Anyway, as I was saying earlier, today I felt compelled to share a day in my simple life with everybody and hope that someone will stop to appreciate everything they have in life, big or small, short or tall, just as I have today.
This post is dedicated to Lanny Griffin and everybody at Fox26 for allowing me to share my walk of life with you all and the outpour of support that you all have given to me in my tenure of blogging here on MyFoxHouston.com.
Once again, thank you for allowing me to share "A day in my Simple Life."
God Bless,
GDub
