Advice

I am not good at giving advice because I want you to listen to me,

I am not good at it because I want to be good at it

 I have good advice to give because I have been where you are going.

I have been in your shoes before you knew the size

 I walked in those shoes before you even knew where you were going

and I hope you don't take the same roads I have been down.

I give the advice I give because I don't ever want you

to shed the same tears that I have cried.

I don't want you to feel the pain that I have felt.

I want to see you with the smile that I am finding now.

I give good advice because I want you

to make the decisions that I SHOULD have

and I help you because I want you to help me.

Hey Alanna,

When one hand washes the other, communication shared between the two,uniformly becomes mutually acceptable by the both.....Great Advice..

Navy was pretty cool, spent my time out in Japan. Which was also a cool place to stay but I enjoy being back in the states.  

Take Care as well,

Alanna

Welcome back, was slated to go to Germany and Korea several times but placed in a request to remain state side each instance  and  they approved it each time i submitted it....Pretty sure i missed out on some neat things for not going to either...
