Diamonds in the Rough!
We call them diamonds in the rough. Those things that you may not expect but out of nowhere it seems, that bright shining star appears.
Often times, they aren't discovered until you reflect. It takes time, hence the expression. You can find them in almost any subject matter you look. Sports, education, various careers, and ob and on.
The area I'm referring to tonight is family. As I've taken time to look back, I've found quite a few diamonds lately.
The largest diamond gleamed brightly this past week. She was the one who has been the glue of our family. She's kept everyone together through the toughest of times.
I learned valuable lessons from her myself. Some of those lessons it took me many, many years to learn.
The funny thing is that they were easily recognizable but I disguised them through my own ruggedness.
It's hard finding out what you could have and should have known for so long. But you can learn from the blindness and work to make everyday that lies ahead better.
Look around you, look hard, and look deep. There are diamonds around you. Some are right in front of you. Cherish each and every day.

As Time Goes By!
It's amazing how much you learn as you grow up and grow older. Often times, you don't even realize how much wiser you have become.
It's times that are difficult in life that cause you to reflect, to remember, and to see how much you have grown as a person.
I will be writing more in the near future about some of my own reflections but my advice is not to wait until times like this to remember.
Take time occasionally to remember what you've done, where you come from, and how much you've grown. Be happy for what you have, how far you have traveled and, where you're headed.
It only will give you that much more happiness and appreciation for life. Make life worth living!
