Silver Lining

Hello all. I would love some feedback on what you'd like to see me talk about here. Just shoot me an email at mikemoody88@gmail.com or comment here on the blog.

Silver lining:

Well, I think I'm getting over the blues from the anniversary of my Mom's passing. Thank you to everyone that had me in their thoughts and prayers. It seems that whoever is up there in charge gives and takes away. While my Mother is no longer here, I have had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people in the last couple years. I have been through some crap but for every negative thing that has happened (divorce, not seeing my kids all the time, Mom passing) I have been blessed with great friends.

Recently I went back to Oregon and my great friend Lisa set up a mini reunion of sorts. I got to see my old band mates and we jammed. What a blast. I've also been talking to my oldest buddy Chris Leader on a regular basis. They just don't make em better than that guy.

Also, I have gotten closer to Trin, Eric, Todd, Larry, Jerry, and Rick. Some great buddies here that have helped me through a lot. Helped me laugh, listened and told me I'm full of shit (shut up Eric). A special thanks here to Trin. Without you buddy, I have no idea how I would have made it through the D word!

But today I want to introduce someone who has become a big part of my life recently. Her name is Tina. We have been seeing each other for a short while and well, she is someone I hope to be hanging around for awhile. You see, she has been a single mother and has her PHD. Yep, she's a doc. There's a lot to respect there. And for those of you who know me, I have to have someone that can kick my ass once in awhile and she can. She does Tai Kwon Do (did I spell that right?) and she's just a couple belts away from getting her black belt. Anyway, just thought I'd introduce her because she may become a part of my posts in the future. And she's proof that the silver lining I talk about is real.

It could be worse:

Luckily I was born without the shy gene or I may have never met her.... or others in my life as well.

Life Coach:

Expect the positive and the positive will happen. Since I got divorced, actually for longer than that, I had a suspicion that there were great women out there. I was right. Sometimes the grass is greener, take a chance, be courageous. It may pay off.

Homework:

Take a chance that you can improve your lot in life. Stay positive!
