Eight defining moments that have made me what I am and what I am not today. I look back, I have no excuses, no apologies, and no regrets. There is not one thing I would change. If I were to change something, I wouldn't be where I am today, and that's exactly where I want to be. Right here, right now. When I look back on my life I always find it is best described by something I was forced to memorize in Mrs. Logan's ninth grade English class. If my memory has not escaped me, I believe it's from the "Tale of Two Cities". "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." That in a nutshell sums up my life.

Beautiful pictures above from Turkey... You two had a great time, what a great trip.
The "Tale of Two Cities" quote we had to learn from Mrs. Logan sure does come in handy. I too have thought of it many times in the past and present.
