So I re-read my "34 Things to do" and it didn't turn out exactly like I wanted it to. Those are still things I'm going to do, but it's more of a "To Do List" than a "Right My Wrongs" kind of thing.
In all honesty...my "list" was still a little selfish.
I spent many years (10 if anyone is counting) being VERY selfish and I am having a HARD time letting it go. That isn't who I am and it damn sure isn't who I want Hailey to remember me as.
So what does one do to try and reverse some of the things they've done in the past?
I want to try and do some good. Not just for me...not just for my family...but for the legacy I'm going to leave behind.
I think about Boompa and how he is remembered. There isn't a soul alive who has a negative thing to say about him. Don't get me wrong; I'm not naive to the fact that he didn't have his wild and wicked days....but maybe he had these same exact thoughts one day.
When it's all said and done he had a choice to make....at some point in his 84 years of life he came to a fork in the road. He had a choice to make about how he would live and the legacy that he would leave behind. Although he's gone I feel like he's here with me....pushing me in this direction.
Now it's my turn.
