On that highway

 If I'm heading for hell I might as well make the trip interesting. 

.

I'm still a good person. 

.

I do a lot more good than bad. 

.

I do not regret who I am. 

.

Sometimes a good man has to do bad things. 

.

I will protect mine above all else. 

I am responsible for my own happiness.

5 years ago was my first birthday as a widower. I hoped, wished that someone would come, visit and maybe bring a cake. Everyone was too busy. I found a half stale piece of cake, put in a candle and called it done. Then went to bed. It was a good lesson, harsh, but good. 

5 years later I went out and bought my own cake. I worked my ass off this morning so I could take the afternoon off which I intend on spending relaxing and enjoying. 

Today is a good day, I'm making it a good day because I am responsible for my own happiness. 

Pockets!

 Can we just take a moment to appreciate when you take a woman shopping and she comes out with a grin. She pulls out some skirt or dress from the bag and announces "It has pockets!" The glee as she shows you the pockets and how she can put her hands in them. 

Women like that are adorable.
