I Wanted To Change The World

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Coffee and the blog= eternal happiness.

On this extremely hot and sunny morning, I decided it's time to write again.

Last week, I had a momentary change of heart about continuing to write this blog when a friend of mine mentioned how "narcissistic" blogs are.  After thinking about it for a few days,  I decided that he might have a point- however, I don't completely agree.  I don't find enjoyment in writing about myself.  I find enjoyment in writing, no matter what the subject is.  I might be natural that my blog topics usually involve me, but that's obvious when they are written from my point of view.  I find other people's blogs very interesting.  Everyone deserves to have an audience.

Anyway, during my brief respite in writing, I also decided to give up caffeine.  Yep, I'm a crazy person.  No tea, chocolate....or COFFEE!! aaah.  Thanks to the inspirational people surrounding me, I managed to stay caffeine-free for a week and a half.  I am just at this exact moment enjoying my first cappuccino.  It might just be the best thing I've ever tasted.

At this point, I would usually go into a whole nutritional lesson about how good coffee is for you, etc.  However, I think I'll spare you for now.  If you're interested, check out hethsfoodonearth :)

I hope everyone is having an absolutely AMAZING day~

Until manana..
