Day 3

This is all pretty overwhelming to say the least.
Not really sure what to write today but I’m trying to be disciplined in this, so I’ll just speak my mind.
As much as I really want this to work, I must be careful not to throw away all I’ve worked so hard to achieve here. I believe I’m the sort that will actually go out and pursue my dreams but wonder if I dream too much sometimes!
Life is sooooo short and I have to experience it, to the fullest, while I can (WE ALL SHOULD) ! This doesn’t mean I want to go do all the most extreme things I can do... but I mean to smell every flower in the garden sort of thing.
I actually do that because I don’t want to take them fore granted. You never know which one is ready to offer you their blooming scent ! (My term for when the flower smells the most). Most don’t know this... but did you know a sunflower has one of the most beautiful scents you can smell in a flower? It only usually last for a day. Most of the time they smell dry and stale.
I discovered this from going out into our garden and smelling the flowers in garden every day!
Please don’t misinterpret this for some sort of OCD. I’m just really thankful for my life and life around me. I can’t get enough of it!
I look for beautiful scents in people too. You never know who has something to offer you.
By this I do not mean what you want from them... but what you need from them.
And not what you can take but what they consciously/subconsciously provide you.
And if you are in the right place in your heart.. you will receive it and do well by it.
I find these gifts are from the most unsuspecting people you could imagine. (like a sunflower)
The most rich, sincere, caring and REAL people can be found living on the streets.
Not that that’s where they all can be found, but more easily found. Pride, judgement, arrogance and ignorance prevents discovery though.
I was on the streets a lot as a teen but from bad choices.
A couple years ago I spent a lot of time on the streets with my art, doing chalk murals for a living rather than go on any sort of Govn’t assistance. I had a pretty good paying graphic design job prior but for a number of reasons it was time to move on to my OWN financial support system/security.
While I did this I met so many amazing people and experienced such overwhelming beauty from many.
There are obviously some that seem so dark and as so far gone you wonder if there’s any way of them finding a way out. I know there’s always a way.. but there has to be a want and it’s got to be from inside them.

ok.. well didn’t mention anything about my n2AFRICA quest... but I’m sort of liking this journal thing and I’ll make my steps to Africa later today.
I needed to write something this morning so this is all you’re (if there is anyone even reading this) going to get so far LOL
I know my thoughts are probably all over the place and I might jump from topic to topic but it’s who I am and what I do.
I think this blog will help me with my written word so I can better express myself without my bad grammar annoying and insulting!
Maybe even inspire me to write some of the books I’ve dreamed of writing!
Cheers!
If you have read this... Thank you.
Most sincerely... Steve GB
