DID 9/11 BACKFIRE ON THE TERRORIST ?

IF THE INTENTION OF THE TERRORIST'S OF THE 9/11 ATTACKS WAS TO MAKE US COWER INTO SUBMISSION, IT MOST ASSUREDLY BACKFIRED ! INSTEAD OF FORCING AMERICA TO LIE DOWN,  IT FORCED HER TO RISE TO HER FULL HEIGHT WITH DETERMINATION AND COURAGE AGAINST ANY AND ALL WHO ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE MOST MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD !

THE SOUL'S LOST ON THAT HORRIFIC DAY HAVE NOT BEEN MARTYRED, THEY HAVE BEEN REVERED. THEY CAME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND WE DO NOT LOOK FOR REVENGE FOR THEM IN OUR WAR ON TERROR, BUT JUSTICE.

WE STILL STAND BY OUR STEADFAST BELIEF, THAT EVEN THOUGH THE COWARDS WHO PERPETRATED THIS ATROCITY AGAINST US HID BEHIND THE ISLAMIC FAITH, NOT ALL MUSLIM'S ARE TERRORIST'S, AND THEY STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORSHIP FREELY IN THIS COUNTRY.
AM I OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH ? NO, I AM A CHRISTIAN.  DO I, ON THIS DAY OF REMEMBRANCE HOLD ANY ILL WILL TOWARD THE PEACE LOVING MUSLIMS OF THIS WORLD? NO, FOR THEY CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE FEW WHO DESECRATED THEIR RELIGION TO FURTHER THEIR OWN SELFISH CAUSE.

TO THE SURVIVOR'S OF THOSE LOST 9 YEARS AGO TODAY, YOUR GRIEF IS HEARTFELT BY ALL AND YOUR DIGNITY AND STRENGTH IN THESE PAST 9 YEARS IS AMAZING.

TO THE SOLDIERS WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THE JUSTICE THAT IS SO WELL DESERVED FOR THESE SOULS, THANK YOU AND MAY GOD PROTECT YOU IN SO GREAT A MISSION.

'Good friends are like stars..... .....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.'

THIS WAS SENT TO ME FROM ONE OF MY DEAREST FRIENDS THROUGH EMAIL AND I JUST HAD TO PASS IT ON

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?'
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' and she gave me a giant squeeze..
'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked.
She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...'
'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me..
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, 'I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.'
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, ' We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.
There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody! Can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets..'
She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose.'
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those months ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!
              These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Pass this message on, If you choose not, then you refuse to bless someone else.

WHO IS THIS CRAZY BIGOT PRAYING TO ????NOBODY I KNOW !

SERIOUSLY, THIS SO CALLED" PASTOR" IN FLORIDA, SAYS HE PRAYED ABOUT THE BURNING OF THE KORAN, CAN SOMEBODY ENLIGHTEN ME ON WHO HE THINKS HE IS PRAYING TO ? BUT HAVE NO FEAR, I HAVE COME UP WITH A PLAN TO HELP HIM, READ TO THE END OF THIS PAGE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS BRILLIANT !

I STARTED MY RANT THE OTHER DAY WITH A DISCLAIMER OF NOT WANTING TO OFFEND ANYONE, WELL, I'M OVER THAT NOW, I HOPE I OFFEND THIS MAN AS MUCH AS HE HAS OFFENDED ME.

WHETHER YOU ARE BAPTIST, CATHOLIC, MUSLIM, HINDU, BUDDHAIST, I CAN'T THINK OF ANY RELIGION WHO BELIEVES IN BIGOTRY, LET ALONE A GOD WHO CONDONES IT. SO, I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT WHO THIS DELUSIONAL BIGOT THINKS HE'S PRAYING TO AND GETTING ANSWERS FROM.

THE DEFINITION OF BIGOT IS A PERSON OBSTINATELY OR INTOLERANTLY DEVOTED TO HIS OR HER OWN OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ESPECIALLY EXHIBITING INTOLERANCE, IRRATIONALITY, AND ANIMOSITY TOWARD THOSE OF DIFFERING BELIEFS.  IN PLAIN ENGLISH, A BIGOT IS A PERSON WHO IS HOSTILE TO THOSE OF DIFFERING RACE, ETHNICITY, NATIONALITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND RELIGION.

I THINK THIS PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP PASTOR JONES, DON'T YOU?
HE SAY'S ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF THE DEVIL, WELL, PASTOR JONES, YOU BETTER TAKE A LONG LOOK IN THE MIRROR, BECAUSE IF THAT'S TRUE THEN THERE ARE 2 !

THIS SO CALLED "PASTOR" SAYS THIS IS NOT A STUNT, SO HE ATTEMPTS TO HIDE IT BEHIND HIS RELIGION, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE! HAS HE NOT NOTICED HE ONLY HAS 30 PEOPLE FOLLOWING HIM ? HMMM, I THINK MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE A HINT THAT HIS IDEA'S ARE NOT VERY WELL ACCEPTED AMONG NORMAL PEOPLE.

HE HAS BEEN WARNED THAT THIS WILL ONLY INCITE VIOLENCE AGAINST THE VERY COUNTRY HE LIVES IN, AS WELL AS THE VERY PEOPLE FIGHTING TO PRESERVE HIS FREEDOM TO PREACH HIS LUDICROUS IDEAS.

SO ,I HAVE COME UP WITH A BRILLIANT PLAN FOR HIM TO GET HIS MESSAGE OUT. IF THE 300 MILLION AMERICANS WHO DON'T AGREE WITH HIM, WILL ALL DONATE 1 CENT, WE CAN BUY HIM A PLANE TICKET TO IRAQ, IRAN, AFGHANISTAN WHEREVER HE PLEASE'S AND HE CAN TAKE HIS MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE IT IS AIMED AT.
NOW THAT WOULD BE WORTH WATCHING ON CNN !

AMERICA WAS BUILT ON THE IDEA OF RELIGOUS FREEDOM AND TOLERANCE, SO THEREFORE, MYSELF AND THE REST OF AMERICA ARE FREE TO PRAY TO WHOM WE CHOOSE, AND I ADMIT, I PRAY, I PRAY FOR A LOT OF THINGS, BUT TODAY I PRAY THAT THIS BIGOTED, CRAZY, HATE SPEWING ZEALOT WILL SHUT HIS MOUTH AND NOT TARNISH THE MEMORY OF THE INNOCENT LIVES LOST ON 9/11 BY OVERSHADOWING IT WITH HIS LOAD OF CRAP !
IF YOU AGREE PLEASE PASS THIS ON, IF YOU DON'T, WELL, THEN WHY ARE YOU IN AMERICA ENJOYING THE FREEDOMS WE SO LOVE? LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY AND GET A PENNY FOR YOU TO GO WITH PASTOR JONES !

CLEAN IT OUT ! DE-CLUTTER YOUR LIFE! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID !

DOE'S YOUR LIFE FEEL CLUTTERED? CAN YOU NOT FIND ANYTHING IN YOUR CLOSETS OR GARAGE? CAN YOU BARELY CLOSE YOUR DRAWERS? IF YOU ANSWERED YES, DON'T FEEL LIKE YOUR BY YOURSELF!
IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND HAVE TRIED EVERY METHOD KNOWN TO MAN TO CLEAN UP THE CLUTTER IN YOUR LIFE, BUT IT NEVER SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE MADE A DENT, I HAVE A FEW TRIED AND TRUE SUGGESTIONS.
I'VE TRIED EM ALL, GOING THROUGH THE DRAWERS, CLOSET, ATTIC, GARAGE, BUT I ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE AS MUCH AS I DID WHEN I STARTED.
JUST LOOKING THROUGH IT & WISHING IT GONE, DOE'S NOT WORK!
1. PICK ONE ROOM TO DE-CLUTTER, THIS WAY YOUR NOT OVERWHELMED BY THE WHOLE MESS.
2. GO GET SOME BOXES, BRING THEM HOME & LABEL THEM, DONATE & THROW AWAY.
NOW HERES THE HARD PART, PULL EVERYTHING, YES EVERYTHING OUT OF THE CLOSET AND PILE IT UP IN THE FLOOR.
3. NOW, START SORTING. CLOTHES - GO THROUGH LOOK AT EVERY TAG FOR SIZES, DON'T KEEP IT WITH THE INTENTION OF SOMEDAY BEING A SIZE 2 AGAIN, WE BOTH KNOW THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. IF  YOU HAVEN'T WORN IT IN 5 YEARS, CHANCES ARE YOUR NOT GOING TO NOW, DONATE IT !
4. SHOES - SAME AS FOR CLOTHES, IF YOU HAVEN'T WORN EM IN YEARS, YOUR NOT GOING TO NOW. IF THEY ARE IN  GOOD SHAPE, DONATE EM,IF NOT THROW EM AWAY.
5. PURSES - YOU DON'T NEED 12 PURSES, KEEP 1 PER SEASON, IF THEY ARE NICE, DESIGNER BAGS LIST EM ON EBAY, GIVE EM TO YOUR SISTER OR FRIENDS, BUT GET RID OF EM.
6. CONTINUE ON THROUGH ALL OF THE OTHER JUNK IN YOUR CLOSET, UNTIL YOU HAVE A PILE TO KEEP. PUT IT BACK IN AN ORGANIZED WAY, LONG SLEEVES, SHORT SLEEVES, ETC. SO THAT EVERYTHING HAS IT'S PLACE.
7. DO YOUR DRAWERS, DRESSER TOPS EVERYTHING IN THE SAME WAY, YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE MORE BOXES TO TAKE OUT THAN YOU DO STUFF TO PUT BACK.
8. ATTICS, GARAGES, FAMILY ROOMS AND KITCHENS ARE A LITTLE MORE LABOR INTENSIVE, BUT WELL WORTH IT. DO THE SAME THING, EMPTY IT OUT & BASICALLY START OVER.
9. IF YOU HAVE 8 PICTURES OF YOUR LITTLE GIRL WHEN SHE WAS 3 DISPLAYED, DON'T YOU THINK 2 WOULD SUFFICE ? TAKE THOSE OTHER FRAMES, REMOVE THE OTHER 5 PICS AND STORE THEM SOMEWHERE SAFE, THEN REPLACE THEM WITH PICS OF HER AS SHE HAS GROWN OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS.
10. IF YOUR LIKE ME AND HAVE SHELVES ON TOP OF SHELVES OF NICKNACKS, ONLY KEEP WHAT REALLY MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU, NOT THE MENAGERIE OF THINGS YOU LOVED 10 YEARS AGO, BUT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT TODAY.
11. ALL OF MY KIDS PLAYED BALL FROM TBALL THROUGH COLLEGE, I KEPT EVERY TROPHY, RIBBON, UNIFORM SHIRT, TEAM PIC, YOU NAME IT. WITH 3 BOYS, NEEDLESS TO SAY IT BECAME A BIT MUCH. IF YOUR KIDS ARE GROWN, IT'S TIME TO PUT AWAY SOME OF THIS STUFF, I BOUGHT LARGE BINS AND PUT ALL THE MEMORABILIA IN THEM AND STORED THEM SAFELY IN THE ATTIC, NOW THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOUR KIDS ARE GROWN AND GONE,IF THEY ARE STILL PLAYING AND SMALL, KEEP THEIR ACHIEVMENTS DISPLAYED SO THEY AND THEIR FRIENDS CAN ADMIRE THEM.
12. IF YOU TACKLE A ROOM A WEEK YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH YOU BETTER YOU WILL FEEL EVERYTIME YOU HAUL OUT THOSE BOXES. IF YOU DECIDE TO HAVE A GARAGE SALE, ALL THE BETTER, BUT WHEN IT'S OVER, DO NOT PUT THIS STUFF BACK IN YOUR GARAGE FOR ANOTHER GARAGE SALE, IF IT DIDNT SELL THE 1ST TIME IT'S NOT GONNA SELL THE 2ND, SO DONATE IT ! IF YOU DON'T YOUR GONNA START YOUR CYCLE ALL OVER.
13. THEIR ARE MANY CHARITIES THAT WILL COME AND PICK UP ANY AND ALL OF YOUR DONATIONS TO MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU. IT TAKES 1 PHONE CALL AND YOU WILL BE HELPING OUT SOMEONE WHO NEEDS YOUR STUFF A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN YOU !
CHECK YOUR LOCAL PHONE BOOK FOR CHARITIES,IF YOU HAVE A LOT, CALL MORE THAN ONE, SPREAD THE WEALTH. DON'T FORGET ANIMAL SHELTERS ALSO TAKE DONATIONS FOR THEIR THRIFT STORES, SO IF YOUR AN ANIMAL LOVER CHECK WITH THEM.
IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH BETTER YOU FEEL WHEN YOU DE-CLUTTER YOUR LIFE, CLEANING IS EASIER SINCE THERE'S NOT AS MUCH TO DUST AND MOVE, FINDING SOMETHING TO WEAR IS EASIER, SEEING THE THINGS THAT MEAN THE MOST TO YOU ON DISPLAY IS EASIER, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF SOME OF THE TREES TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE FOREST.

THE PREACHER AND THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE

BEFORE YOU READ THIS, PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS THE OPINION I PERSONALLY HAVE FORMED, AND IN NO WAY MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS HEATED DEBATE.

THE HEADLINES HAVE SCREAMED "MUSLIM HATING PREACHER WANTS TO BUILD CHRISTIAN CENTER", NOWTO ME THE WORDS HATING, CHRISTIAN AND  PREACHER DO NOT BELONG IN THE SAME SENTENCE, THEY ALL SEEM TO CONTRADICT EACH OTHER.

AS FAR AS THE PROPOSED BUILDING OF A MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO, WHO WOULD WANT THEIR PLACE OF WORSHIP TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR A PLACE THAT SO MALIGNED THEIR BELIEFS?  I WOULD THINK THAT OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ON THAT HORRIFFIC DAY,   BROUGHT ABOUT BY COWARDLY, DESPICABLE ZEALOTS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH YOU WOULD RATHER WORSHIP ANYWHERE THAN THERE.

I AM SURE THAT THE MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS WERE AS HORRIFIED AS THE REST OF US ON THAT DAY, AND ALL THE OTHER DAYS AROUND THE WORLD THAT THESE COWARDS HAVE KILLED WHILE QUOTING THE KORAN.  BUT CAN YOU REALLY HATE ALL PEOPLE OF MUSLIM FAITH BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF A FEW? 

THIS SO CALLED PREACHER SPEWING HATE WILL ONLY INFLAME THE ZEALOTS,  OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM INTO THINKING IN THEIR OWN DELUSIONAL WAY THAT THEY ARE NOW JUSTIFIED IN MORE VIOLENCE AGAINST AMERICA,  THE AFGHANI MUSLIM ZEALOTS HAVE ALREADY STARTED BY SAYING THEY WILL INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF ATTACKS AGAINST AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN. DON'T THESE MEN AND WOMEN HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH OVER THERE WITHOUT SOME RADICAL PREACHER, WITH A VERY SUSPECT BACKGROUND INCITING EVEN MORE VIOLENCE ?

ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET SITE DNA.INFO THIS MAN DOESNT DISCRMINATE IN HIS HATRED,
Bill Keller, who travelled from Florida for the fire and brimstone sermon, also hit out at Mormons, gays, Hindus and pro-life supporters.

MR. KELLER HAS STATED THAT HE WOULD BE OFFENDED IF HE WITNESSED THE BURNING OF THE BIBLE OR THE AMERICAN FLAG, AS WOULD I, AND PROBABLY MOST AMERICANS, SO THIS BRINGS ABOUT THE QUESTION TO MR. KELLER, DO YOU THINK MUSLIMS SHOULD NOT BE OFFENDED BY YOU BURNING THE KORAN ?

DO I BELIEVE THAT THE MOSQUE SHOULD BE BUILT THERE ? THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS NO! OUT OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORIES OF THE INNOCENTS, PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND FEEL FREE TO WORSHIP FREELY, JUST NOT THERE !

DO I AGREE WITH THIS PREACHER, (AND I USE THAT TITLE FOR THIS MAN VERY LOOSELY)WHO, IN MY OPINION,  IS AS OUT OF CONTROL AS THE ZEALOTS? ABSOLUTELY NO AGAIN ! AS A PERSON OF CHRISTIAN FAITH, I PERSONALLY DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING ASSOCIATED WITH SOMEONE WHO SPEWS THIS KIND OF HATRED TOWARD ANY PERSON, GROUP OR RELIGION.

IF YOU AGREE WITH THIS POST, PLEASE PASS IT ALONG, IF YOU DON'T THEN LET ME HEAR YOUR COMMENTS AND REASONS WHY, SO THAT THEY CAN BE ADDRESSED AND DEBATED.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE ? EVER ASKED YOURSELF THAT QUESTION ?

THIS IS A QUESTION THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE NEVER EVEN GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT, UNTIL SOMETHING DRASTIC FORCES THEM TO, AND EVEN THEN, IT'S NOT AN EASY QUESTION TO ANSWER.
TODAY, UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING TO ASK THEMSELVES THIS QUESTION, WHETHER IT BE FROM THE ECONOMY, LOSS OF A JOB, LOSS OF A LOVED ONE, OR A SUDDEN ILLNESS OR INJURY, BUT EVEN THEN, IT'S NOT AN EASY QUESTION TO FIND THE ANSWER TO.
I, MYSELF, WAS FORCED TO FACE THAT QUESTION, AND I FINALLY HAVE MY ANSWERS. THE ONLY IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY LIFE ARE THE HEALTH, WELFARE  & HAPPINESS OF MY FAMILY, THE LOVE & SUPPORT THAT WE GIVE EACH OTHER, MY FRIENDS, THE  PEACEFUL STATE OF MIND I HAVE NOW KNOWING THAT GOD LET THIS HAPPEN FOR A REASON & I WILL SURVIVE, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. PERIOD. END OF CONTEMPLATION !
AS I HAVE WRITTEN IN MY EARLIER BLOGS, 1 MONTH 9 DAYS AFTER MY 50th BIRTHDAY, MY LIFE CHANGED FOREVER.
I CELEBRATED THE MILESTONE OF MY 1/2 CENTURY MARK WITH MY FAMILY, AT A PLACE I LOVE DEARLY, THE BEACH. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THAT  THIS MARK IN MY CHRONOLOGICAL AGE MEANT I HAD PROBABLY LIVED 2/3 OF MY LIFE, I WAS CONTENT AND HAPPY, WITH ALL THE DREAMS AND PLANS THAT HEADING FOR RETIREMENT AND FINALLY BEING ABLE TO SLOW DOWN CAN BRING.
I RETURNED FROM THE BEACH WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE, READY TO REALLY WORK  HARD FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS, SAVE MONEY AND RETIRE. EVERYTHING WAS GOING MY WAY, WE MADE PLENTY OF MONEY TO LIVE AND HELP MY KIDS WHEN NEED BE, I LOVED MY JOB AND THE PEOPLE I DEALT WITH DAILY, I WAS OUTSIDE ALL DAY, WHICH IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO BE, AND I LOVED WATCHING HOUSES BEING BUILT, ITS SUCH A FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT TO ME, TO SUM IT UP, I FELT GREAT PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, I WAS IN A GREAT PLACE IN MY LIFE.
THE DAY MY LIFE CHANGED, WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY, THE BREEZE WAS BLOWING, THE SUN WAS SHINING, IT WASN'T TO HOT OR COLD, I HAD JUST MET WITH A BUILDER OF MINE, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WE JUST STOOD OUTSIDE AND TALKED. I LEFT LISTENING TO THE RADIO, SINGING ALONG, HEADED TO SEE ANOTHER BUILDER, LIFE WAS GOOD.
BUT IT CHANGED IN AN INSTANT, A SPLIT SECOND I CAN NEVER GET BACK. ALL OF LIFE'S CHANGES HAPPEN IN A SPLIT SECOND, THEN WE ARE LEFT TO DEAL WITH THE DECISION'S OR EVENTS THAT OCCURED IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
EVERYONE SECOND GUESSES THEIR DECISION'S WHETHER IT'S WRONG OR RIGHT, WHAT IF I HAD DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, HELPED SOMEONE OUT MORE, GONE A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BUT YOU STILL CAN'T CHANGE IT, THAT'S THE HARDEST PART OF LIFE.
THE EASE OF GOING WHERE I WANTED, WHEN I WANTED, DOING AS I PLEASED, THEY WERE ALL GONE, THE MONEY STOPPED FLOWING, THE DREAMS OF WORKING HARD AT A JOB I LOVE WERE ALL GONE, BUT THE PAIN KEPT COMING, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. SO NOW WHAT ?
WELL, FIRST YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITH WHATS BEEN SENT YOUR WAY, YOU GET ANGRY, YOU GRIEVE, YOU RETHINK EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, YOU DEAL WITH THE PAIN THE BEST WAY YOU CAN, YOU WORRY ABOUT LOSING EVERYTHING YOU EVER WORKED FOR, AND THEN LO & BEHOLD, YOU RESIGN YOURSELF TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MOVE FORWARD AND YOU START TAKING STOCK OF YOUR LIFE AS IT IS NOW.
THAT'S WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT, MATERIAL THINGS CAN BE REPLACED, THE LOVE AND SUPPORT, HAPPINESS AND WELL BEING OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY CANNOT ! THE WARMTH OF THE SUN, A RAINSTORM, A NICE BREEZE, ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED NEED TO BE LOOKED AT A LITTLE CLOSER BY ALL OF US, AND WE NEED TO BE GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ENJOY THEM, NO MATTER HOW MINUTE THEY SEEM.
SO WHATEVER GOD HAS SEEN FIT TO SEND YOUR WAY, WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR BAD, EMBRACE IT, LEARN FROM  IT, MAKE THE BEST OF IT, BUT ABOVE ALL HAVE FAITH THAT IN THE END, THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE WILL STILL BE THERE, UNWAVERING, SOLID AND VERY REASSURING ! ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE CLEARLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE, ARE ALL AROUND YOU, YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK & APPRECIATE THEM !
