Over the past few weeks, I have made a switch in the majority of the music I have been listening to country music from the 80’s to the early 2000’s as a result of getting a grip of the reality of my life, remembering the good times in my life that I had with my family as knowing that I had a blessed life and that my family didn’t have to do the things that they did to make my life what it was, but seeing that I know that I have truly been blessed.

It has been by playing this era of music that brings me the many good memories that I need to relish in that has made me feel good in my very own way that reminds me of the good times that I had with my loved ones and others. It was what we often listened to on the ride to somewhere whether it was the livestock auction, the wagon train, a friend’s house or an event that brings the good memories and realizing how blessed I was to have the opportunity to be with my parents especially among others.

Many times, we do not realize that we are do not have the luxury of some things in life. Time is one of those things. Then there is the reality that sometimes what is thought of is of myself only being selfish in nature and at the same time very vindictive, threatening, toxic or terrorizing in nature without realizing the reality of the situation. I have asked for forgiveness in the statements that I have made in this regard because I know that was not proper or what was necessary for the environment.

In such, it has allowed me to see that I need to relish the memories that I had that even though there were times that I was disappointed to be doing what I had been doing at the time, there is a reality that potential may not return in the way that it did. What is also sad is that initially I was unable to allow myself to become open to things being the way they are now, which includes making sacrifices and seeing the whole picture of how things operate, because again I was only allowing myself to think about how it affected me and not allowing myself to see the benefits of how things could improve the quality of life to those that mattered the most.

Without a doubt my life has changed in the course of the near past year. The reality is that we can’t change the events of the past or how they happened. But what can be done as that I work better to cope with the challenges that are set forth and learn to adapt to the way things are now. In a way bringing the era of country music that I grew up on allows mw to feel better in a way that brings a better emotional front to my mental wellbeing.

In the end I cannot hold a crystal ball and predict what the future may bring to me, but what I can do is work toward making the best of each day relishing the way that I need to cope with my life in the best way that I can. I know that I cannot change the situations or events of the past, but I can work at making things right with myself or others in the process.
