And they all left...

It's been said, "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither". I believe that was Benjamin Franklin. That quote pretty much reflects my opinion of what's been going on in our country these days. I'm sure we are going to look back at the beginning of the millennium with regret... the world seems to destabilize before our eyes and who knows what the future is going to bring. When I was younger I wanted chaos, I had become so bored with the everyday monotony of The American Life that I didn't appreciate it at all. Now that's all I want..

God knows I've sure been blessed. As ya'll know, I joined the military last year, and here I am. I've worked hard, but I have pretty much everything I've ever wanted.. a happy life. I have the most wonderful wife a man could ever ask for.. and as cheesy as it sounds, she completes me and makes every bit of life a million times brighter. Every experience, every moment I'll forever cherish..

I'm not a "religious" man, but a "faithful" one. I thank God for all of this- because I know I could've ended up with nothing, gone nowhere, never found love, stagnated and withered away... I'm thankful for the strength I've found within myself to get this far, thankful for the powerful relationship I have with my wife, her incredible loyalty and her loving sweet nature..

If I died today, I'd like to think that I'd have "lived" more than most. I hope I never become complacent and take all of this for granted, I've seen too many people lose everything because they stop caring, they stop loving..

I guess that's enough of my rambling.
Goodnight, all..
