Bravely HIGH

Good Morning my beloved LA. It’s great to be back from the Big Apple!

It’s now time to get back to normal, as much as normal can be. I’m looking forward to getting back to my writing, my art, my daily morning walks, and life in general.

While on the plane ride home, I realized that my 25th anniversary since graduating high school would be happening this summer; it feels like only yesterday. I left high school feeling regretful for not having accomplished anything. But because of it, I realized that I needed to change the course of life. I decided that I’d live life with no regrets and because of it, I felt full of possibility.

The piece here is titled, “HIGH School” The key word here being ‘high.’ Though its not one of my favorite pieces, its appropriate to today’s post. Our high school mascot was an Indian; we were called The Bosco Braves. It was during high school that I smoked my first joint. Though I didn’t feel high, I was high!

Thankfully, I’ve never been one to get hooked on drugs, but, out of curiosity, I tried almost everything. No regrets! As the years passed, I came to understand that regrets happen when we don’t learn the lessons from those moments. And so as I look back, rather than regret any decisions, I seek to learn the lessons.

“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.” – Fulton Oursler. I still haven’t figured this one out, but I have a feeling it’s something great. Ah, something to think about.

Happy Super Bowl Weekend and if you happen to get high on the game of life, enjoy the high!
