I don't know where I'm headed, but I walk ahead sure I'm going somewhere.
Onward toward the sound of laughter and good spirits.
I leave all the negativity in my wake.
I cannot predict how my story ends, but when it does I hope my eulogy is delivered to the host of those I've touched.
Family, friends, acquaintances, coworkers, clientele; all in attendance remembering me fondly.
I hope they'll say I was positive, generous, fun, humorous, sharing, caring, and many other descriptives I aspire to be.
I hope that day is not sad.
I want it to be a celebration of life; the lives of those I encountered while still alive; of the friends long past and of the new life of the babies of all my people.
If I die today I promise I'll have been satisfied.
I am young, but I've loved, I've traveled, I've competed, and I've engaged.
There is no need for sadness at my passing.
I take these steps in my journey with a full belly, heart, and soul.
I live for, through, and with all of you; those I've known and loved.
