The next few blogs of mine are going to be more serious in nature. Knowing me, a lot of them will be. Part of the reason I decided to start this blog was because I had some thoughts that came to me and I wanted a place to write them down. I may have something that seems profound, at least to me, pop in my head every day for a week. Other times, I may go a whole week where the most profound thing that goes through my brain has something to do with whether I'd rather have blue cheese or ranch with my chicken wings (80% of the time I'll say ranch). Better yet, the never-ending battle between regular soy sauce and low-sodium soy sauce when I'm eating sushi. In this epic battle between health vs. slightly minor taste improvement, regular soy sauce is currently winning with a record of something like 42-3. Wow, that's worse than Clemson's historic domination over South Carolina in football...
Anyway, I wrote the quote below in September 2008 for someone who was very close to me at the time. I felt that she wasn't taking her own happiness into consideration like she should and I felt the desire to write her something that she could look at and think about whenever she wasn't sure she was making the right decisions. I think it helped, and I'd like to post it here in case anyone else sees any substance in it:
Do all that you can to enrich your soul and maintain your personal faith and deepest beliefs.
Pursue your own happiness and that which you want in life above all else on this earth,
but never to the detriment of your soul.
Always help those in need to the best of your ability,
but never to the detriment of yourself.
This, I believe, is the secret to happiness.

Ranch is the way to go.
And now I know that I cannot delete any of my posts because they'll be there forever :)
