Things have gotten hectic since I got my internet back! Hope everyone is doing well half way through this 2009. I've been keeping myself in a positive zone, refusing to allow negativity  to drag me down! There is too little time alloted us to always steep in sadness and or frustration. We're all allotted just so much life on this earth, it's a shame to continue to waste it on things that eat up that life. The things we can do something about, within our ownselves is what God ( or what ever each person calls the Creator of life ) expects of us to attempt, He is never far away from us ready to give us strength, courage and peace for the asking, and He understands that at times it's difficult to walk the pathways we each do! That doesn't mean we should think we don't need help, can't ask for help, or that we can presume to know or do better than God, merely that if God created us, then we have the abilities at hand to be positive in the face of adversity and trusting in the times of perplexity. I haven't spent most of my life living this belief, though I've had the belief most of my life - I have no one but my own self to blame for how low I've allowed life to take me in the hardest of times. Cancer, spine surgery, ms problems, have contributed to hard times to be sure, but, relying on God and belief that each moment has a purpose has most definitely been my help! I'm not suggesting everyone sees things the way I do, that would be ridiculous, but, I am saying that I believe that you have to hold onto something or the point in living seems worthless, I have MANY reasons to hold on, my husband, my children, my grandkids, my mom, my brothers, the neices, the nephews, friends, and experiences with life, even the most aggravating, irratating, gregious of things lived, are  a high point compared to the alternative which would be NOT living!

I've come a long way in these 56 years of life, most has not been anything to write home about, but, given where it's brought me to, this moment in time, I'd not change the path, for it has led me where I am feeling the way I do, and appreciating what I have! Thankk God, He is good and I am blessed
