Choices

Whitney Houston..1963-2012.  One of my favorite artists has joined the ranks of the premature dead.
Whitney was the same age as me and lived a remarkable life. We were able to watch her rise to the top as well as her slide back down to the bottom over the length of her career. As so many of us are trying to make our bodies better, others choose to take another direction. Was it peer pressure?  Choosing to hang around the wrong types of people?  Her marriage to Bobbie Brown was certainly the beginning of the fall.  I know many people that would say that I "just dont understand". They are probably right. I do understand that she made some really bad choices in her life and that this outcome was no great surprise. Her music of old will live forever however. We can remember her for her music or for the fact that she was a drug user. I hope that people can see her death as a reason to mabye start making better choices in life. Once a person has started down the path theres no fixing the damage that has been done. We are only issued one body by the maker and Im pretty sure he wants us to try to take care of it. That being said.....Im headed down to the gym to get my sweat on.  Cheers
