Remembering

I was watching "Bones", one of my favorite television shows, earlier today and 5 interns were working on identifying sets of bones that had been in the Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab.  4 of the 5 had identified numerous sets of bones while the 5th intern was still working on his first set of bones.  They were the bones of a homeless man and the other 4 interns couldn't believe he was "wasting" so much time on the one set of bones.  Soon everyone was helping him to try to identify the set of bones.  He had some broken bones and they found a piece of metal in him.  It was concluded the metal came from a lamp post by the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.  Everyone on "Bones" started telling where and what they were doing that horrible day when terrorists struck the United States.  I started crying because I could remember exactly where I was when it happened.  I was in the chiropractor's office and they had a small television in the waiting area.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing!!!  The bones were identified as a soldier who had served in The Gulf War.  The war had left him mentally unstable because he was rescued and his 3 friends died.  He was standing outside the Pentagon saying his friends' last names and people thought he was crazy because what he was saying didn't make sense to them.  He got the broken bones because after the plane hit the Pentagon, he went inside and saved 3 people's lives by moving large pieces of concrete off of them.  One of the bones he broke was a rib which eventually punctured his lung and killed him 10 days later.  The moral of the story is don't go by what someone looks like on the outside because you can't tell what has happened to them.
Have a very blessed day everyone!!!

So Profound!!!

I saw this on Facebook today.   It is so profound!!!  It is from an episode of Mork and Mindy.

"Mork & Mindy: In Mork We Trust (#1.21)" (1979)

Orson: The report, Mork.

Mork: This week I discovered a terrible disease called loneliness.

Orson: Do many people on Earth suffer from this disease?

Mork: Oh yes sir, and how they suffer. One man I know suffers so much he has to take a medication called bourbon, even that doesn't help very much because then he can hear paint dry.

Orson: Does bed rest help?

Mork: No because I've heard that sleeping alone is part of the problem. You see, Orson, loneliness is a disease of the spirit. People who have it think that no one cares about them.

Orson: Do you have any idea why?

Mork: Yes sir you can count on me. You see, when children are young, they're told not to talk to strangers. When they go to school, they're told not to talk to the person next to them. Finally when they're very old, they're told not to talk to themselves, who's left?

Orson: Are you saying Earthlings make each other lonely?

Mork: No sir I'm saying just the opposite. They make themselves lonely, they're so busy looking out for number one that there's not enough room for two.

Orson: It's too bad everybody down there can't get together and find a cure.

Mork: Here's the paradox sir because if they did get together, they wouldn't need one.


After I read this, I thought Wow!!!  Loneliness is a very sad place to be.  I can't believe how hurtful some people are in this world.  They make up lies and others believe them.  It deeply hurts when someone who I thought was my friend says things that hurt.  We are supposed to have fun and LOVE one another NOT hurt each other!!!
I read today that Robin Williams was suffering from the early stages of Parkinson's Disease.  Maybe he didn't want his family to see him suffer from such a dreaded disease.   
Have a very blessed day everyone!!!  Sunday is almost here!!!

Depression is a terrible mental disease that is nearly impossible to fight by yourself!!!  PLEASE call the nearest hospital, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, family, friend, Pastor, or anyone to help!!!  Don't let them put you on Serquel XR tho!!!  That is a very dangerous medication!!!

Optometrist

I went to the optometrist today.  He did a very extensive exam on my eyes.  He said he is very surprised I can see with the glasses I have.  He said I have to have prisms in my glasses now and my prescription has changed extensively.  He told me I have dry eyes, blepharitis, and cataracts are forming on both eyes.  The first two conditions are very treatable but one day I will need to have surgery on my eyes for the cataracts.  What's cataracts compared to all the aneurysms I have?  lol  It's all good!!!  I am still smiling!!!

My pupils are so big from the medicine the optometrist put in my eyes that my irises are almost gone!!!

Right now I am styling!!!  I have to wear these special glasses for the rest of the day at least til sunset.

Laugh and Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!

 

RIP Robin Williams!!!

Today Robin Williams, an Oscar winning actor was found dead at his home.  He made millions of people laugh!!!  I remember watching him act and laughing so hard I was crying.  He will be deeply missed!!!  http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?news=881799

On a happier note, this time next week I will be in Australia!!!  It will be my first time overseas and I will be gone for 3 fabulous weeks.  I am super excited!!!  I don't know if I will be posting anything on here while I am gone.  I am not sure about the internet connection there.
It is hard to believe on Sept 1, 2014 I will have my blog for 1 year!!!  Thank you very much to ALL of you for reading it!!!  I hope it has brought you happiness, understanding, knowledge, and I hope I have been able to convey my feelings across.  I have enjoyed writing this!!!  I wish the person who got me started writing it would talk to me again but when people tell lies and those lies are believed, it is hard to get that person to believe you.  I don't lie....I can't do it.  I guess he wasn't my friend after all and that is the part that hurts the most because I don't take my friendships lightly!!!

Have a very blessed week (or maybe month) everyone!!!  I will try to get on and post some pics of my huge adventure in The Land Down Under!!!

RIP AJ!!!

One of my friend's son passed away yesterday and she fell down her stairs and broke her knee.  My heart aches for her so much!!!  Her son AJ is a couple years younger than my youngest son.  She is an excellent mother and whenever I would talk to her, she would talk about AJ.  Please hug and tell those you care about how you feel!!!  Tomorrow is never promised!!!

Second Chances

I had an appointment today and while I was in the waiting room, there was a gentleman on television talking about Second Chances and that we all need them!  I totally agree with him!  I truly hold no grudges towards anyone.   Yes, my feelings get hurt but I don't h**e anyone even those who tell lies and spread rumors about me that aren't true!

I truly forgive those who have hurt me in the past....I wish they could do the same!!!

Laugh and Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!

I Will ALWAYS Love You Meg!!!

Today was Meg's graveside service here.  She was married and lived in another state.  They had a Celebration of Life ceremony for her there but I couldn't attend because physically I couldn't since I fell.  Her ashes were brought back here.  Her husband was holding her beautiful urn and I asked him if I could please hold her one last time.  He handed me the urn and I held it so tight and told Meg I will ALWAYS love her!!!  I gently kissed it and handed it back to her husband.  I wanted to keep her with me forever!  I know one day I will see her again!  The pastor gave the sermon.  She was in the Air Force years ago.  The American Legion showed up, the commander gave a very solemn speech and reminded us that she is with God now and not in pain, handed her husband the American Flag, they gave her a 21 gun salute, and 1 of them played "Taps".  It was so overwhelmingly beautiful, I totally lost it.  "Taps" makes me cry every time.  Her husband gently placed her urn in the burial place and surrounded it with rose petals.  They loved each other so very much!!!
Later today, I saw someone I thought I would never see again.  We said "Hi" and my heart felt better.  Telling someone "Hi" can make a person's day!!!  I try to smile, wave, and say "Hi" to someone every day.  Life is too short to hold grudges and be mean.

Hugs don't cost anything and can mean the world to someone!

Candy, Candy, And More Candy!

I was with my oldest sister most of the day.  She had some errands to do.  I am getting ready for my trip and I had asked my friends' daughter if she would like some things from the USA.  She sent me a list.  My sister and I had so much fun finding the different candies for her!!!  She is going to be very surprised!! 
Unfortunately, on the way home, I received a message that another family member has passed.  I was so hoping August would be a month of no funerals!!!
I am very blessed to have friends who support me and help me through the rough times!!!  I am a very lucky girl!!!  

PLEASE remember to tell those you care about how you feel!!!

Laugh and Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!
