A Wild Knight-An new beginning!!

Hi  all:  

Well I've decided to start a blog.   Why you may ask?  Well the answer is I don't really know myself, but I figured what the heck.  I figured it might be a good outlet for me to practice writing, maybe vent a little or just share a funny story.   You might ask why I called my blog  "A Wild Knight",  Well the obvious is a play on a wild night, but also "Wild" is part of one of my nicknames "Wildmankevo"  the Knight part as most of you know I am a Knight of Columbus. 

This is a new beginning for me in many ways.   A lot of change has happened in my life I've been single for about 2 years now, I am losing weight (yeah) but more importantly I am coming to terms with me.  Liking myself and just letting myself enjoy life.  Sadly I realize this NOW, after college when I could of had MORE Fun but HEY better late then never right??? 

What made me conscience of this change is a friend on a trip recently that said I was fun to be around and that I am much more calmer than in college ( I am paraphrasing.)   I thought "hey!! he's right" (he most always is.)

I am relaxed and calm?!?!?    I began asking myself how this happened?!?!   What I think happened is: one I started losing weight (bost of confedence) and a buying new clothes (hey even for a guy this is a good thing).  Second during this past Lent I increased my prayer life which in turn led me to realize I am taking life WAY to bloody serious.   Thirdly it was a camping trip that may me realize I am like and not only that but I can have fun in any situation so long as I am open and have no fear. 

And I will sign off with that my friends be open and in the words of Blessed Pope John Paul II  "Be not afraid."  

Thanks for reading!!!
