Time does fly for my timelapse between entries (because it takes me way too long to write these.) Well, it IS amazing to me say that time flies. But, no one bas learned it like I have. People don't fly. Instead, they fall, somtimes over 30 feet. That, too, you can say that no one has learned like I have. Nope, it's not a joke. But it is one heck of a way to learn that flying was only "wishful thinking."
But it is wishful thinking also to think that time doesn't fly. People get busy doing things and then they are like, "Oh wait a minute. I am supposed to be doing something else." Then they say that things are changing, stuff is moving, "time is flying'
So, I guess that time has flown since my last entry (or the entry before last.) Haha! That is so funny, I used to be certain of EVERYTHING that I thought was right. I KNEW it was the last entry that I was referring to. But now, questions arise and arise and arise.
I really do have to give credit to God for making me see the importance of life by bringing in all of the doubts that I would have it. And, also, the importance of certain organs, like the brain. That is what was injured the most for me. And, as God would have it, things are damaged but they are still working enough for the important things.
So, people DO NOT fly. But time WILL FLY. The difference with time and people is something that I understand at 35. (Hmmm... or should I say "25" and pretend to be younger. I could just say later "oh, sorry about that, but I forgot.")
Hmmm...

Take care, and I hope that life is treating you well. God be with you.

Hi Curtis!
I have been reading your posts on your blog for awhile, and am so inspired by your recovery! From the first time I heard you speak at the California State FFA Convention in Fresno, I knew you were an extraordinary person who I just had to meet. This was a long time ago, probably 1995 or 1996. When we became friends at Texas A&M, I felt so lucky to know you and was so in awe of your leadership abilities and your warm and friendly personality. I think of you often and wonder what you are up to. I am so happy to hear of your progress and recovery. You are truly an inspring person. God bless you Curtis.

Bianca!
Hello there girl! It is so great to get this message from you, and I have to tell you that IT MEANS SO MUCH what you have to say about the FFA Convention in California and about your kindness toward me. Well, I have to admit that I did not used to BUY the "extraordinary person" schtick but NOW I look at what I have been through and I think "Ok. There is some reason to keep me alive!"
Who knows why, but it will be interesting to find out. This means a lot that you were "in awe" and I am really motivated now to think that there is something left to do!
Well, maybe I should just sit back and collect all of the checks / money orders that are mailed to me and answer the delivery guys knocks on the door to open those gifts. What do you think? Oh shoot! I guess there ACTUALLY is work to do, and no gifts-to-receive, after all. Shoot.

Your words really do mean a lot, Bianca. Thank you so much (SO MUCH) for the note!
By the way, my email address is curtchil98@gmail.com.
Hey there, Bianca. I hope that you are well. It was so great to connect to you via telephone today. I hope you, the hubby, and the kiddos continue to be great.
I have to figure out a time to go check out our stomping grounds in College Station, Texas.
Ok, now I am still trying to figure everything out electronically. So, will you be notified about this note? And, do I have your email address? And, is the sky blue?
