My inspiration for today

<p>So, I'm waiting for the bus and there are two men having a conversation in Spanish. I think nothing of it, my concern is the heat, the bugs, and the hope that the bus will soon come. One of the gentlemen hard the other some change, and he quickly scampers off and leaves the others sitting there.
After a brief moment of silence, he turns to me and states, " he has a hangover," followed by a small chuckle. He then explains, that he doesn't miss those days, with a look of relieve.  When I looked at him, I seen a lot of peace in the man. Then he tells me how he too had a drinking problem. The man explains to me how it all began... It was so easy, it could happen to any of us. He said that he was off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Pay day was Thursday, and right next door to his home was the liquor store. He began with a six pack of beer, when he was done with that he went back for a twelve pack. He drank all weekend, and slowly began to need it.  He would progress, he began buying enough two have the next  morning for his hangovers, he would drink a few and start to feel better. The problem with that, is that once he felt better, he would continue to drink and start the cycle all over again.
The man, calmly pulled out of he pocket a scratch ticket and a quarter, and with a slight smirk, he started to gentle scratch his ticket and explain how his drinking effected the rest of his life. He talked about how he would be drunk all the time, and couldn't function properly. He would go on tyrants, yelling,cussing, and lord know what to his wife. His whole life aS based off of his next drink.
Until one day, he woke up with his usual hangover. He began to think about things and said to himself that he was tired. He was tired of the same old rut, he couldn't do it anymore. And from that moment he just stop drinking. He no desire to, and his life is much better know.
That just tells me that no matter how hard things get, it can always get better. It is all about what you want, when you really break it down. And when you decide to change or go for something better, don't look back in sorrow and regret. But, look back to know how for you came and what you were able to over come. Wow!
Peace!
