Memphis

So went to Memphis alone… the trip was planned with my ex and since we broke up I had nobody else that could go.  I was scared….. I almost did not go but I am so glad I did.  I was able to do what I wanted when I wanted.  I met interesting people  listened to awesome music and had a blast.  I learned a lot about myself… I had a lot of time to think during the drive…. I am so glad I did it. 

 

I arrived Friday afternoonand checked into my hotel… dropped my stuff off and headed for Beale Street.  Beale is blocked off from cars so you can walk as you please. 

 

There were Blues bands playing every where I was in heaven.  I spent 2 hours there then headed for Hall & Oates. The concert was good not very long but good.  I  met a guy from Jackson TN and talked to him as we waited for the concert to start. Afterward I went back to the hotel dropped off my car and back to Beale where I listened to more music and had a few beers. 

 

Saturday, I woke up late (a little hung over) and went to Graceland… I had to wait two hours for my tour…. I saw almost everything.  I was there 4 ½ hours in total.  For dinner I went to Gus’s for Fried Chicken it was AMAZING…… rested at the hotel for a couple hours and back to Beale street.. for a night of music, drinking watching football and meeting new people. 

 

Sunday I woke up and went home… tired happy and ready to head home. 

Graceland

I am on my first trip by myself. I came to Memphis to see Hall and Oates and go to Beale St.  It's been fun so far the music is great!

Today I am going to Graceland  

Curve balls

Life throws curve balls at you. Just when you think you understand you don't. Just when you think things are fine they aren't. Just as you think your problems are the worst and most challenging in the world you learn that your issues are nothing.

When things happen to your kids your perspective changes. It changes in a lot of ways. What are your proirities what is it about you that makes you special. When you're gone how many people miss you? The answer to the last question is very few. Family And loved ones are really it. The truth is we are what we allow to happen to us. What we allow others to do to us and how much we can take. 

The truth is life is hard. It's always been hard and it always will be. Relationships don't have to be and shouldn't be. We make them difficult we allow ourselves to make bad decisions to begin with then we allow ourselves to grow apart. 

My goals are simple to look for things that make me happy and stick with them.
