Little Rock Lesson and back to reality

Hello World,

My trip to Arkansas comes with mixed reviews. There is not much bad I can say and There is not much good that I can say about my trip to Little Rock, but I did learn a valuable lesson---Family does not always equal friend. Family does not always equal support. Family does not always equal fun. You can't please people who are not pleased with themselves. If they are miserable. You have to be miserable too or they will work really hard to find a way to make you miserable even if that means ending a relationship, manipulating others and starting all kinds of trouble. I also learned that I could be pushed to the very edge. BUT the most important lesson I was the lesson of letting go. Some things and some people no matter who they are-are not worth the stress or the strife. It is okay to love people from a distance especially when you have given all that you have and it is never enough. Well, I have had enough and it is finished. Thank you Lord for the lessons and the people placed in our lives to teach us these lessons.

Anyway there were a few good things about the trip. I managed to workout, but my eating went a little of course. Not too bad, but not good either.  My cousin and I went to the Arkansas Art Museum and toured the Pharoah exhibit. I thought it was awesome. The artifacts and the real mummies and tombs was amazing. My favorite was the sexy dress that the pharoah liked for the women of the palace to wear. There were a lot of gods that were worshipped by these people. They believed in a lot of interesting things, but at the end of the error of the pharoahs and dynasties...they converted to Christianity. Isn't that something. At the end of the trip my cousins brought me home and we ate at a restaurant in Southaven. They had never been to my home town. So that was fun to show them my stomping grounds.

Lil' Fred had a great time playing with his cousins and in the pool. He is a natural swimmer. I have got to get him some lessons next year.

Well, vacation is over back to real life and real work. Back to good eating and great exercise. I have to do a lot of catching up from after the camps. So next week here I come....
