Enjoying Another New Beginning....

As most of you know I moved to Montana two years ago to get a fresh start after having entered the military and being discharged. I have since moved back home to the beautiful state of Texas. I will be attending Texas Tech in the Fall and will be double majoring in Business and Acting.

I am not witty, nor am I charming. I am just a open and honest person. Pretty much, this blog is hopefully going to help me and you learn and understand life through my eyes.

If you didn't already know I was in a major car accident a little over a year ago. A 76 year old man going the wrong way down the highway clipped the driver's side of my car, deploying the side air bag. He then kept going down the highway crossing the grassy median and making a u-turn to come back the way he had come and continuing down the highway until a state trooper caught up with him. What I do not understand is, how the state trooper could later come up to my hotel room in Bozeman, Mt and tell me that it was an "honest mistake". How is going down the highway the wrong way at 9 o'clock in the morning, an "honest mistake"? Anyway with all that I have been in physical therapy for a little under a year. From what I am told I will always live with this pain. It is how I deal with it that will matter most.

My journey to gaining my life back began a few months after my ex and I broke up. I found myself searching for the me I had lost in the few months I had been with him. So I began to climb Mount Sentinel everyday for 3 months. Rain or Shine I was up on that mountain. I learned strength and understanding for things I could not control. I began to understand what I needed to do to find me. I still have the back injury from the car accident and I'm still in a certain amount of pain all the time. The pain has gone down considerably. I continue to work through the pain. I will constantly be appreciating the things I used to do without the pain.

I'm moving out the Lubbock Texas for the fall semester. From what I am to understand, there isn't a lot to do out there. I am told that there is Paloduro Canyon, but that is about 2 hours north. I guess I will be making an excursion up there at least once a month. I'm a very active person, I'm just glad the accident didn't take that away from me fully. So here is to another new beginning. I've had at least 2 of them so far. Third time is the charm, right?

The part I think you'll find most interesting out of this blog is the fact that I ramble and I mean I jump around considerably! So try and enjoy it. I have my bad days just like most, but I try and remain positive about life these days....
