Life Is.....

I title this Life is because the so many things that get in the way when things are going good. It is hard to stay focused during a child getting sick, a funeral or wedding, or something like my case.  Last week I was leaving work finding that my vehicle was missing/stolen/taken away  from me.  For the most that have experienced this, its not a good feeling.  I started thinking I do remember driving this morning and locking the car.  So after security camera's, EMS (diabetes check) and 3 cops w/k9, and talking to the other person that the truck is titled to.  The other Person on the title decided to remove the paid off vehicle from my life. I am informed it is under lock and key and will not tell me where it is.  This is the thing Erin (chronicle leader) to write about our life experiences we go though to get to the trail of lights.  Well I do have video footage of this theft.  After talking with a team member they advised me not to do the following,  yes I could inform you this name, profession, where they work, home address, and phone number, oh yae! YouTube could be my friend.  Yea, you can tell I thought how to get back.

So trying to figure out do I sleep at work or quit, and how do I pay for my rent next week, rentals cost money, so do cabs.  I am very lucky to have people at work that have a heart.  So I am receiving rides from co-workers, even My Supervisor offered to bring me to work.  I never ridden the metro buss system, probably would not know how to.  Embarrassed to mention this to my Club Chronicle team. I advised them I was going to Dallas. So yes I did not workout this weekend. Its is still stressful, but I know I need to continue my workout and get back on track, but I miss my truck, I miss the simple life I was creating. Everything was starting to turn out good until. The weird thing is that the person that took it doesn't want the truck, She (oops!) just wants it for control, she has a vehicle and is still driving it which means she took it just to be in control.  She knows I love the truck, and only way to hurt me is to take it away. But she doesn't know.  I make my life happy, I fill it with people I care about and that care about me. I have loving and supportive friends and family, I have my oxygen in my lungs. I am happy to just be alive.  If I need a helping hand, I can trust others to help as I would when faced with a problem.  Truck (suv) is only a material thing and can not go with you when you die, Though I really love driving it.  The truck help make my life easier, and carrying my photography equipment for events and future events like the Award ceremony for JDRF in November and this coming weekend : http://www.austin.dojiggy.com

100% of the proceeds raised from our event will go towards brain tumor research.  I will find away to keep my commitments. Its is amazing how a vehicle can disable us so much.  Such as lets say a single mother comes out of store to find her car gone and in 45 minutes her 2 elementary kids are out of school. Or, an CEO is on his way to lunch with a team that's involved with a merger and only to find that his car is gone and needs to be there in 15 minutes. FYI, Austin Police department finds vehicle theft a low priority so I called 911 of this (ex. 6pm they showed up at 9pm).  The person that took the truck, knew I would be disabled from this.  Though like most people I will get back on track again and try like doctors practice to create a better life for myself no matter what.

I will be there next week, ready to start working out harder than ever.  As Ingrid told me maybe this is just a sign that you need to walk more to where you need to go.  If anyone is up to it I will be walking to Dave and Busters for a cold one this weekend ( I live south )(joking), but maybe I will get the bike out and start riding more in this colder weather.  I will write more later, but less words.  So I don't take almost full page for blogging.
