Dawning Thoughts

Over the years I have found that the things that I have experienced in life has caused me to build many walls. Many say that others actions don't effect anyone but themselves but I do not believe this. Our actions always effect those around us. I was born into a large family. I am the youngest of eight children and I was not planned. When I was only one year old one of my brothers was killed by two drunk drivers that were following each other in separate cars. The first car hit the pickup that my brother was a passenger, the pickup was spun around and was cross ways in the road. My brothers friend who was driving had hurt his knee and my brother got out to go around the pickup to check on his friend, that is when the second car came around the bend and slammed into the pickup throwing my brother a distance.

It is becoming more unsafe as people have no regard

I read a post today on Facebook that asked if you had a list of qualities you wanted in a spouse. When I was young and stupid....no I didn't, but now yes I do. My list, however has been evolving over trail and error, and the coarse of many years. I have learned many things over the years about people and as look back to when I was young I had no idea what I wanted then. Did I like certain things about certain people, yes, specially when I gave myself more time to get to know someone. I made many decisions out of fear, and impatience when I was young. That was a huge mistake. I found that I repeated that mistake again with my second marriage and it didn't work out then either. I have though between the two marriages learned quite a bit about myself, life, and what I want.   I have very strong convictions about religion and have found by experience that I want someone with those same strong convictions. You can not control someone's loyalty in a marriage and I want someon
