Once in every lifeSomeone comes alongAnd you came to meIt was almost like a songYou were in my armsRight where you belongAnd we were so in loveIt was almost like a songJanuary through DecemberWe had such a perfect yearThen the flame became a dying emberAll at once you weren't hereNow my broken heartCries for you each nightAnd It's almost like a songBut it’s much too sad to writeNow my broken heartCries for you each nightAnd It's almost like a songBut it’s much too sad t...

So what are you doing on Mother's Day?

Have you ever sat and thought, "I sure wished things in my life would change and be different?" If you have you are one of many that think the same thing. If you really want change it comes from one source and that source is not from what others does for you but what you do to administer the change! It's been said that change comes from within and not what's without! I can change your looks but if you stay in the same situation then what good does it do? Seriously change from within is where...

There is a whole lot of hurting going on in the world we live in now. Are you part of the solution or the cause? If you say you choose to be neither then my friend you are part of the cause. Doing nothing to impede the encroaching war on the psyche is simply abetting its growth and power. There are people everywhere that are experiencing for the first time what it feels like to be totally rejected by society. What with the unemployment rate in some parts of the country and the loss of housing...

Well just got home from lunch with some friends I don't get to spend much time with these days. I had fun with Kelly Kelly, Jennifer Philpott Shultz, and Stefan and I totally enjoyed the bantering back and forth. Thanks guys for a few minutes of recreation and time out of the house.

Have you ever seen someone and thought I have seen you somewhere? I can tell you where you saw me and what you did when you walked by. I was sitting on the corner near the grocery store you visit periodically. This morning I was there having a specifically having a very bad day. First my arthritis was especially bad and I could hardly walk or stand. I had just found out my son has terminal cancer and has only days to live when you came walking by and spat at me and said, Hey bum go get a job...

Pride goes before the fall. This seems to be the thing I see more people struggle with than any one thing in their lives. These days so many are losing everything and even when they know there is no hope for recovery they simply refuse to relinquish the "lost control" they don't have of their lives. It seems we as humans have an innate sense of pride that brings us more disappointment and grief than it does a sense of accomplishment. I look back on my life the last few years and see where my...

All I can say is what is you really want from me?

UPDATE CENTRAL: It seems that the prayers for my friends father were answered for the things they needed to do to get done to prepare for the major surgery was successful. This was just an earlier stage to get where they can actually fix him so he can go home and live as normal of a life as he can have. He has already lost a leg and so the changes in his life will be huge as he is use to being extremely active. Please stay vigilant and keep this whole family in your hearts as there are severa...

You know I normally don't sleep very well at night but last night was one that I would not have slept regardless. I have a very dear friend who I have asked you to pray for and yet again her family needs our prayers again. Her daddy is in the hospital having a procedure done trying to prep him for life saving surgery. This has been a series of ongoing things with him since a month-and-a-half ago. I have been wide awake praying and worrying for her as this whole thing has been a very hard test...

When I begin to age after my kids left home I begin to reflect on my life and the many memories I have. I would start with my childhood and remember the great life I had growing up on the farm. While we weren't wealthy by any standard we had all the food we could ever want because we raised most of it. My mother always made the most wonderful meals even if it was something simple like goulash. I loved almost anything she cooked and what I didn't care for she would experiment with a varied ver...

I have a conundrum it seems. An old friend contacted me yesterday and in our conversation I told her I would do something as a special favor to her. Then I found out later that her and another of my very good friends had an altercation that caused her to leave and disappear for a while, but now she wants to come back and be friends. I would love that but it may cause friction with my other friend. I am contemplating letting the other person know about the favor I promised to her. I hope and p...

The old adage, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," isn't just words that we refer to as the golden rule. Not in the least. I wonder sometimes if we really thought about those words and what they really mean how much different the world would be in today. So many people these days only think of a situation from the standpoint of how the situation affects them and theirs. Like my dear mother told me many years ago if you think 10 before you speak one then you will be much bette...

Have you ever noticed that there are times every time you turn around someone is causing drama around you some where. I have someone that when I met them was causing drama just being them and now she is departing with a big drama and I am wondering what kind of drama they will cause while they are away? I cause enough drama for myself without any other drama being pushed at me.

One of the hardest things for me to deal with is the fact that I have more time on my hands than most people I know. Yet its so easy when they are busy doing their normal life things, for me to remember that they have others obligations for themselves to help maintain their lives. When you're bored and you need distraction it's so easy to think, "I sure wish they would finish what they are doing quickly and come chat with me." I do realize my petty needs are just that in the big scheme of thi...

Who was that mysterious woman? I am really curious by what she said to me. I will have to watch for her to come back again!

For the most part things are going pretty smooth, but there are some things that trouble me. It seems like I am a magnet for the type of people that want to use me for their own personal gain. This last week I have been dealing with a situation that for me is particularly difficult for me to handle. Those that have known me over the last several decades know I am pretty level headed until I get pushed into a corner. Well when I am dealing with such a situation I try real hard to use tact but...

Has any of my friends heard of a new extract called garcinia cambogia? It is supposed to be a very healthy and natural weight loss product. If you know anything about this would you please give me information so I can check it out?

If tou see something here that doesn't sound like me today it's because I am just having a bad day. Nothing has happened but I have these cycles I go thru and right now I am in the down side of the cycle. When I am here the world feels big and dangerous to me. I can't seem to find much good with anything and I react very negative. While this will be normal for the rest of my life, I do hate this part of me and wish I could be the nice sweet me I love and makes me so happy at all times. Before...

It seems that with the last few years and all the school slayings and tragedies that our government seems to think that the way to solve any and all problems is they legislate some new law or program into existence and cost us the tax payers billions more with each program they conger up that has very little thought or reason behind them. Most of these programs does one or two things and most of them are not good for us the people. They first enslave us more to the system than ever before in...

It just occurred to me that maybe the reason I have been to hell and back so to speak is because I have a whole lot of people I know and meet everyday that has been down and out on their luck. They seem to be going through test and trials of life that they need encouragement from someone who has been their. I know where they are and how they feel. I been totally broke and lost everything but by God's help and direction He sent me to the right people that could aid and assist me and I would fo...

All my facebook friends and family I have a very important favor to ask of you. I don't care of what faith you are from would you please lift up a very good friends father whom is in the icu as I write this and has 20% chance of coming out alive. This family has had so many horrible things happen lately from the loss of a 26 yr old nephew to a brother being shot as a police man on the job who may never walk again normally. If nothing else pray that the family will be granted comfort regardles...

Sometimes life has a funny way of coming full circle. Things that I wanted when I was young that never happened have of late been happening. I don't know what it means but none-the-less it's a temporary enjoyment! Only time will tell what is meant to be! It doesn't really mean anything anyways!

I thought it was all a bad dream, but then you woke me and I wasn't dreaming. It's for real! Next time just let me sleep.

People will be people and as such they are fallible! They at some point will disappoint you and even hurt you. It doesn't mean you stop loving them but it does make you question what they were thinking? I guess I should expect it to come from a source I wouldn't normally expect it to come from. I am disappointed sure but not so upset but what I still function within my realm. This is a new one for me and I am learning from it!
