My mother went to a fortune teller when she was younger. the woman told her about her life and her childrens lives. She talked about all the ups and downs that my brother would have. She talked about all the loves and success that my sister would have. And it seamed like in the long run things would work out for them both.

When she got to talking about me...the "youngest" son, she had nothing exciting or creative to say. She only knew that I would be happy. That is all that she said. "He will always make people smile and be happy with whatever he is given".

I love that story because I don't care if it is true...if this really happened or not. But I do look at things and see the good in them. I have been told by many that I know that I am a very nice, caring person and that I look at the world differently.

My Aunt once said that I could see God in the Devil. I think she ment I saw the glass as half full not half empty.

Love life, smile often and laugh till it hurts.

and as always,

Be well*

I love the idea of family. Although, my family has never been the type that has tons traditions, like giving cards or throwing parties for someones birthday.
I think it is the fact that my family is so small. There are just five of us and we are fairly simple in what we want. We never really need anything so we just don't get/give anything.
Last Christmas we decided to donate money instead of giving each other things that we didn't need.
I think we found a tradition that fits what we are about.

Smile, laugh and love life

and as always,

Be well*

Time is Air*

Go somewhere! Take an unplanned adventure. Sometimes the best times are the ones that have little to no thought behind them.
Leave your cell phone off and go! Drive, walk, bike, skateboard, run!!! Make this time perfect.
In your eyes nothing can be any less than what you think of it...so go.

Love life, keep moving and smile till it hurts.

And as always,

Be well*

If you look hard enough and just think...for a moment. Can you see them? Sitting, talking, wondering what is next. Would someone turn and meet their future wife? Would there be kindness in the eyes of a stranger?

Think about it! No cell phones or distractions other than a newspaper. People talking about what is happening in the world.

What would you talk about? Would you talk about the future?

I would talk about my dreams.

be well*

It is reality*

Believe in youth, we always have our youth. We just don't take the time to remember how to find it. Just look around and you can find it*

perception

Sometimes:

We wait for a rainbow and all we get are more grey skys.

We wish for a flock of Doves swaying into the sunset, and all we get, is a group of Crows screaming into a street lit night sky.

We open our eyes and expect to start our morning routine, but we are confused by the smoke and darkness surrounding us.

We wonder why we are so confused.

We open a letter from someone we love, to read that the letter tells us- they no longer love us back.

We have dreams of corn mazes but can't find the beginning.

We observe our surroundings and find nothing but strangers on our birthdays.

We smile when we enter a room and no one has teeth.

We dream and never wake up, but, we realize that is because we are living our dream.

We never realize what we have because we don't have what we want.

Sometime, we need to look around and see*
