this one's on me

hello my friends!! today is a new day!! so i was pondering my life up to this point, and not that long ago i would not have even considered blogging. "who would even be interested in what i have to say?". i was tired, and like alot of people life had gotten the best of me and taken the "steam" out of my selfesteem. but i don't feel that way anymore. i look around at my friends and family and i smile. i consider myself to be a kind person,compassionate, generous-more of the spirit then of the pocket, but i try when the economy isn't sucking me dry LOL. so if you are looking at yourself these days, feeling a bit beaten by life and wondering if you measure up-and i am sure you do, pick yourself up, dust yoourself off and remember the words of morgan freeman from the bucket list...

its difficult to understand the sum of a person's life. some people will tell you its measured by the one's left behind. some believe it can be measured in faith. some say by love. other folks say life has no meaning at all.
i believe that you measure yourself by the people who measured themselves by you.

until next time...safe journey

Hello Donna. Happy New Year to you and your family. As we evolve through life there are the ups and downs that can beat you down IF YOU LET IT. One must deal every lifes events as it comes. It's not the cards you were dealt it's how you play them that counts. I am on a 7 year hard time and I never ever will give up. I have my health which is the most important. The second most important that keeps me going is being able to give and receive love. I have that with my only son Andrew. I am viligent and have passion to arise above the challenges. I believe god is testing my patience. I will survive.
So let me leave you with a quote about life that I love. It goes like this.
Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach
And this one is directly for you.
May the long time sunshine upon you, all love surround you and the pure light within you guide your way on.
Sat Nam
Stay and be well.
John.
