    Ok, I meant to write this sooner, but I just got around to it. My procrastination sucks sometimes. Anyhow, last Sunday my daughter got invited to my friends daughter's birthday party. It was at an ice rink and they did bumper cars on ice. It was so neat. I have never seen anything like that before.  Needless to say the kids had a blast, and even some of the adults. Hee hee. Yes, I t...

So between all you and mom I probably will ...

  • "I Voted" Sticker

    Tuesday, November 4, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
    Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...

  • MY FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE e-mail sent by kjl1951

    Thursday, November 20, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    WHERE DO I GO
    WHEN I AM FEELING LOW?
    IS THERE A PLACE
    WHERE I CAN FEEL SAFE?
    SAFE FROM PAIN
    AND DAYS FULL OF RAIN.
    IT IS IN A PLACE IN MY MIND
    WHERE I CAN GO AND FIND
    MY OWN FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
    TO CHANGE MY MOOD.
    IT IS A TINY PLACE
    WHERE MY THOUGHTS DON'T RACE.
    IN MY MIND
    I USUALLY FIND
    A WARM PLACE
    WHERE I CAN FIND A TRACE
    A TRACE OF CALM TO THINK
    WITH NO PEN OR INK
    I GO OVER WITHOUT REPRES...

  • Journal Entry for March 15, 2009

    Sunday, March 15, 2009

    To Believe is to stay strong, when all the walls around you are
    falling.
    To have enough strength to see the starlight and never ask WHY?
    To believe is pick up the pieces and start AGAIN.
    To believe in what you are and how you feel, takes courage and time.
    To believe is too see your dreams in the moonlight sky and know u can
    reach them, with one big stretch.
    To believe is to feel warm and happy and to ...

  • inspirational poem

    Monday, July 27, 2009


    I know that I understand, how little they really know.
    And that look of pity on their face, will always show.
    They can't look past and get to know, the person deep inside.
    They never see the real me, the part this chair can't hide.
    I want them to know I have a mind, I am capable of love.
    I have lots of hopes and desires, and things I dream of. 
    I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...

    October also bring...
