Hey all!

Hello net folks! I am new to this blogging. I only ever have blogged on myspace. I thought this would be a good place to meet others. So here goes.........


This is a blog I wrote last night on myspace. After a miniature vacation from myspace. Got some new perspectives on life. Learned that to be truly happy I need to learn to love myself first. So I am working on honestly and truly love myself. I read some books women of faith authors. Such as Karen Scalf Linamen, Patsy Clairmont, Barbara Johnson, Martha Bolton, & Ann Spangler. I read several others but those stick out to me. One quotes that was mentioned in a couple of them was "Don't borrow sorrow from tomorrow." That has stuck with me to. And like my default pic says you can't change the past but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future. We are a microwave generation, like I heard someone say not long ago. When we want something we want it now. And do what we can to make that happen, sometimes not considering the consequences. There's people out there who when they want something they steal it, some with guns and other weapons no matter who they hurt. Crimes and drug issues fill our country. What happen that turned people against people? Aren't we all striving and working for the same thing? To make a life for us and our families. To survive. Things are tough these days and its getting tougher to get by. But we do what we can. My husband and I are living with my parents. Not where I wanted to be at 26 but I really have no other choice. So I choose to make the best of it. I choose to look at it from this standpoint. Everything happens for a reason, I don't know why things happened this way but I believe that God has a purpose for it all. I am loved and very blessed. I have a roof over my head and food to eat. I'm not out freezing to death. And though were all struggling we have each other, and most of all we have love. I have learned to be appreciative with what I have. My husband the other day was talking about wanting a laptop, I ask him as I usually do when he dreams up all these things, what money are you using to get this laptop? He responds that it's part of his wish list. And proceeds to ask "Don't you have a wish list?" I said no, as I think of it there might be little things here and there. But I am weeding them out of my mind and out of my life. Cause I feel that if I am dwelling on my wish list and the things I want in life. I can't truly be appreciating what I already have. May not be much and sure aint nothin fancy but it's all I need. I am rich in love. And I could not ask for more. My parents took us in when Richard fell ill and couldn't work, when we didn't know what we were gonna do or where we were gonna go they said you have a home here. Knowing that their struggling as well, and two families under one roof would be tough. They welcomed us with all the love one could ask for. And for that I Thank them both VERY VERY MUCH!! I love them both and I hope that every day I am showing my love and appreciation for them both. It hasn't been easy on any of us but were making it. So no matter what your struggles step back and evaluate your life. Appreciate the people in you life. Indulge in the love from your family and friends. Because things could be worse and for someone, somewhere they are. I read a book by Leslie Haskin called "Between heaven and Ground Zero" She was in the first tower of the World Trade Center, on the 37th floor. She writes about what she went through trying to get out, how she felt her fears and the things that still haunt her. But she pulled through. And she has turned her life around and is now helping others in any way she can. Her book in my opinion is a heroic tale, and sheds light on how we can take are rough situations and better our life. So if your looking for a good book to read look up some of the above authors. They are sure to put a smile on your face. And a light in your eyes.

Hope this blog made sense to more people than just me. I also hope that it helps someone somewhere. If not at least I understand it and I have a new perspective. So until we meet again God Bless, May he keep you safe, and bless you daily.


Hope ya'll enjoy. TATA for now.
