Grand Children

There's 3 older and 4 younger listed to my credit.  Whether it's my credit or not there will be a listing of them at my obituary some day.  The three older one's are trying to gain prospective for their lives and select some sort of future to establish.  The four younger children are still learning about this big world and encountering the experiences of a childhood yet to explored.  I see the live's unfolding into different path's that will be diverse.  Several may find a college degree in their future, while one or two will not make it a direction to follow.  Time is moving so fast and all too soon, my children will be wondering where the time went.  I'm already there and can't believe my eyes, when I look in the mirror.

HGH

There have been certain channels on the TV that advertise the need for you to buy HGH  to improve you health.  It's boasted that this product can renew and build the body's strength and vitality.  I've considered using it in previous years, and even bought some of a brand that I found at a local health food store.  I will admit, that I never really used it religiously as I should so, therefore I didn't get the complete benefits it was used for.  Should you be interested, then click on the above link and read about it.



Dear Paul

The house is not the same over there.  Everyone can tell that you were the chief motivator of that family.  Things need help and your not there to give it that extra nudge.  It's too bad that something so small slipped into your body unknown and destroyed your health so fast.  You fought health problems all those years and won.  Visiting you the month before you passed on was a hard experience.  I could tell you were hanging on by a thread and it was just a matter of time.  Our daughter has managed to get through the last few months, but at times wishes for your strength to be present.  I'm sorry you had to go, and wish that this horrible cancer would have left you alone.

Sincerely,
Nita Kaye

A Good Smoke

This sounds like a oriential cigar, to me.  When in fact it's a cigar design or brand that's ready for your purchase.  I can't figure what  gurkha cigars  could have that would make it any different for other cigar's except maybe the blend of tobacco's.  I know that you men who relish a good cigar will know exactly what this cigar is all about.  Hats off to you guys and your smoking expertise!  All I can say is have a great day and enjoy one!

Faith is Survival to Us

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Timothy 1:12
We know this to be true as we live everyday in this topsy turvy world.

A Mess

The trees are a big problem when you have a hot tub in your yard.  I realize that it's nice to have the shade but as with your swimming pool, the leaves seem to go for the water.  Maybe they are attracted to water and naturally fall there on purpose.  Cleaning a hot tub after use is trouble enough.  You don't need added extra trash and leaves to clog the filters.  It's nice to have a hot tub cover  to protect it while it's not in use.  You can go online and find the right size for your hot tub, and get great quotes.  You might even get a special sale, which would make the purchase even nicer.

Choose

 John is the kind of guy you love to hate.   He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.  When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!'  He was a natural motivator.  If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!'
'You can't be a positive person all of the time.  How do you do it?'

He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today.  You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood.  I choose to be in a good mood.'  Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it.  I choose to learn from it.  Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.  I choose the positive side of life.
'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested.
'Yes, it is,' he said.  'Life is all about choices.  When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice.  You choose how you react to situations.  You choose how people affect your mood.  You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.  The bottom line:  It's your choice how you live your life.'
I reflected on what he said..  Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business.  We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?'
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied.  'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices:  I could choose to live or....I could choose to die.   I chose to live.'
'Weren't you scared?  Did you lose consciousness?'  I asked.
He continued, '...the paramedics were great.  They kept telling me I was going to be fine.  But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.  In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'.   I knew I needed to take action.'
'What did you do?' I asked.
'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John.  'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.'  The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.   I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity''.  Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live.  Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude....I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. 
Attitude, after all, is everything.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.   Each day has enough trouble of its own.'

Update ........

This is to let you know that I received an email from the young man stationed over in the disaster areas, and he reports that it by passed their area of land, he is safe and well.  It is a great relief to know that he is safe and I am sure his Mother feels the same......

Mom is Worried

I spoke with the mother of a friend who is stationed at a military base on one of the islands over around Japan.  Her son hasn't made contact with anyone as yet, and with all the news that's coming out of the area about the disaster, it's very scary for her.  She's waiting by the phone, just in case he calls, so that she won't miss his call.  I called her and let her know I was thinking of her and her son and that I had sent an email to him out of concern.  I also let her know that I was praying for her and her son, while all this is going on.  Everyone one feels so helpless and can't do very much except wait and pray.

Scriptures

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.  Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Job 14:7-9

My Friend

I recently wrote an article about my friend looking at the pending death of her loving spouse.  This in fact did happen and I am very sad for her.  She loved him so much and they were such an item when you saw them at places.  I know that she must be feeling like she's in limbo and that's exactly where you are.  Regrouping and going on with your life takes time and I hope she has the stamina it takes to go forward.  I ask for your prayers during her time of sorrow at loosing her life's love.........
