If You can't see to far in the future, look into the light!

Let me be honest, I kinda faught this blog thing for a while but I guess it's better to communicate in any form than no form.
Some things have been on my mind latly, like family and whats important. (look out its already corny). Anyhow its mostly how lucky I am and how bright my families future looks. But then there is the rest of the world. And for what ever reason, economy, gas prices, politics, gossip, and all that drama, there seems like no happiness in sight. No reason to look forward to the future. No purpose in this rat race but to beat another "rat" to the cheese. But then I have this friend........
He sees the world the same way that I do, but suddenly in his 28 years in life has discovered a light in the darkness. He sees this light in my life and can tell that I follow it, (stumbling sometimes). His whole life he has tried to be a cut above the rest and have an edge that no one else has. Now he wants to escape the fact that the world is telling him that there is no happiness, and beat the darkness by taking care of the fragile light that he sees in the distance.
Friends and Family, cherish your lights, so that no matter when you need to help some one else see, you can.
I hope for him to grasp the happiness, this hope helps me to block out the dismal worldly things that try to diminish the brightness of my light.
Happy Independence Day.
