Another year.....27
BewilderedTo the former....I had a prediction when I was younger....about 16 or so....that I would not live this long. I had this feeling that could not be ignored that I would die before I was 20. It was due to my service in the Army.....now.....everything is different.....everything is a gift. I AM alive. And I have a loving caring family, parents who are still together, and a job in field I truly love. everyday since my 20th birthday has been a true gift.
To the later....I have accomplished nothing. My sister has gained recognition as an accomplished chef and baker in Las Vegas and here in Maui. My cousins work for Ratheon, and are PHD's or respected members of the military. I....I....am a service person for sappy attractions to tourists who could care less about....anything.
27 years of life.....have I wasted them?????? I cannot tell. Perhaps it is not my place to judge my own life. I HAVE accomplished a lot....more than many of my peers in highschool......But I also feel I could have....SHOULD have done more. To be both a success and a failure at the same time......it is so strange. But this serves me as a call to action!
I....this one....must NOT belittle accomplishments made so far. But this one must also strive to be more, do more and act more towards the causes and goals that are important. This one now looks to all those who are reading this very journal for inspiration and motivation. What more can this one do? What would you like this one to do? What can this one do for you? To have the answers to these questions and to be able to fulfill those answers would be the best birthday present of all!

Funny, i thought i would not be older than 25...
Why 25? I don´t know.
Now, i am older (i am olmost 5 years older than you ) and haven´t also done great things.
I hang on like a Teen and live my life without aims.
In my case, the normal aims are boring.. Standard. Make Money, be a Hero, rise up a own family.... and than? nothing happens, i know how it feels, when something is completed.. after that a big empty comes back... to follow new aims till lifeend? Hm... it can be lifestyle, but not mine.
I can´t tell you what to do, but when you do that, do that with dignity.
No one can (should) gives you critics for what you have reached or do.
Oh i can say something.... If you do something.. Have fun!

P.S. thank you for serving with the U.S. Army, I have a friend Dan at my scoial group that I go to, would be a real inspiration to him, I think that he said that he wants to be a U.S. Army Tank Driver, if I already said thank you for serving once than I'm sorry, I hope that I'm not being anoying, by repeating my self!!!!!
