Sometimes I wonder of the things I could have done
The ones I could have befriended if my path had not been wrong
The joy I could experience by holding a new hand
The ones I could have helped just by saying, âI understandâ
As my life rushes by I see all I have missed
By sharing a little smile, or feeling a gentle kiss
All because of wanting to avoid any kind of pain
And hoping somehow my mind can remain sane
Accepting all is hopeless, preparing for the worst
This has not been a life; itâs mostly been a curse
Conceding that there's nothing more than what my life has been
Hiding in my little hole, only myself to tend
So now Iâve vowed to seize the day of what may come anew
Of what is seen by many, or sometimes very few
If the day be filled with joy or pain in what the world has sent
Iâll feel itâs mine to remember, Iâll feel itâs time well spent

I am so Blessed to have had a Grandma to teach me this at a very young age. It has enabled me to live my life this way most everyday since that very young age. I do my best to give this way of life, and I do believe it is a choice to live this way, appreciating what the Universe and God has offered me each day, to my children and now to my children's children. I haven't had one of them argue me about this yet. Some truths just are the real truth and stand the test of time.... they remain the truth and have no way of being argued. Even when my offered day brings me pain..... Pain is part of being alive and feeling. If and when I have ever attempted to "shut out" the pain filled experiences of living life, I have not only succeeded in pushing the pain filled ones to the back burner, ( in my experience I have always had to go back and feel them anyways for they refuse to be ignored, some law of nature and the universe, I believe.) I miss out in the joy filled ones too: for they all come from the same source... inside me... and if I ignore one the other must be shut down too. I have lived this before and it is not really living... it is not even really existing... it is the numb I chased with alcohol and any other way I attempted to to achieve not feeling. I used to tell my kids when they were trying not to cry or be mad etc. If you continue to do this your feelings will come out some how, they will begin to scream, squiggle around, yell, and pound on the inside of your heart saying, "Let us out, Let us out!!!." They would always laugh and then feel their feelings and talk about it.
Great Post as always Billy. Love and all the other feelings in life to you all ;-)
