I guess mine would be having to tell my children that the state wasn't going to let them come home after 8 months of being in a children's home, because their mother relapsed. Back on track though.

The lawyer yells, "F--- the children", And the priest says, "Do you think we have time?" noway Sorry people. Someone just told me that and I had to share. Nothing personal to any lawyers out there.drinker

If I had my children to raise all over again,
I'd finger-paint more and point the finger less.
I'd do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more huggung and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd teach less about the love of power,
and more about the power of love.

Answer your question?

On Love:heart:
The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides
and gravitation, we shall harness for the Gods the energies of love. And
on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall
have discovered fire.

Michael,
You leave me speechless with your words at times. You have a dream
inside all of those wonderful rhymes: LIVE YOUR DREAM.
Because people who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who
are doing it. Ya Wanta Get Married?

Bravo for such a being to be in-touch with such feelings.

Next fall when you see geese heading south for the winter, flying
along in "V" formation, you might consider what science has discovered
as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an
uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in "V" formation,
the whole flock adds at least 71percent greater flying range than if
each bird flew on its own.
--People who share a common direction and sense of community can
get where they are going more quickly and easily, because they are
traveling on the thrust of one another.--
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and
resistance of trying to go it alone_and quickly gets back into formation
to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.
--If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation
with those people who are headed the same way we are.-
When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and
another goose flie point.
--It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs, whether with
people or with geese flying south.--
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their
speed.
--What messages do we give when we honk from behind?--
Finally_and this is important_when a goose gets sick or is wounded
by gunshot, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with
that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay
with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies; and only
then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch
up with their group.
--If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like
that.--

I'll tell you WTF BEEOCH: After a while you learn the subtle
difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean
security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't
promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes
open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's
ground is too uncertain for plans.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instaed of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.
And learn that you really can endure....
That you really are stong,
And you really do have worth.

What in the Hell is up with most of you. Do you want to just **** around
or are you looking for a relationship. Or are "Ya Sceeired"? And that
goes for most of you woman out there as well. What the ****>? **** or
get off the "pot". I'm sorry guys and gals but stop being afraid to be
your true selves. When you know, you know. Pick up a phone, give them
your address, somethin. Hell, if their a nut ****in shoot their ass. You
only live once, in this sphere anyway............

A traveler nearing a great city asked a woman seated by the wayside,
"What are the people like in the city?"
"How were the people where you came from?'
"A terrible lot," the traveler responded. "Mean, untrustworthy,
detestable in all repects."
"Ah," said the woman, "you will find them the same in the city ahead."
Scarecely was the first traveler gone when another one stopped and also
inquired about the people in the city before him. Again the old woman
asked about the people in the place where the traveler had come from.
"They were fine people; honest, industrious, and generous to a fault. I
was sorry to leave," declared the second traveler.
Responded the wise woman. "So you will find them in the city ahead."

The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter
their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.


The longer I live, The more I realize
The impact of attitude on life.
Attiude, to me, is more important than FACTS.
It is more important than the past, than education,
than money, than circumstances, than failures,
than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company, a church, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
Regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR PAST...WE CANNOT CHANGE THE FACT
THAT PEOPLE WILL ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY.
WE CANNOT CHANGE THE INEVITABLE.
The only thing that we can do is play on the one string we have
AND THAT IS OUR ATTITUDE...
I AM CONVINCED THAT LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO ME
AND 90% HOW I REACT TO IT.
AND SO IT IS WIH YOU.

Pretty woman wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a Woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my heads not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
That's me.

M.A.
