For You Mom

I thank God first and foremost for a most amazing ride. I would like to thank those who stood behind me and propped me up when I was ready to fall. I won’t name them, out of a genuine respect for their privacy, but they all know who they are, and have for over 20 years each. I thank God for you all. When I needed help, there was the one, and I thank him for all he’s done.
When fate played it’s card, there was someone who allowed me to hold on to their apron strings. “Thank you” are but mere words. No matter, they know exactly how I feel.
I thank my children for being who they are, and for showing me what unconditional love really is, and true heroism. I miss them beyond any words that I can possibly think of that could explain how I feel. I am very proud of you all.
I thank my family, who have helped keep me sane with their kind words, deeds, prayers, care packages, and love beyond comprehension.
I thank all my family members who have helped me be who I am.
Thank you to all my Internet buddies. You’ve been there when I needed someone, thank you.
Thanks to my parents, who even though not on this plane, have helped me tremendously through my life, especially when I needed it the most. I feel your love and pride.
Thank you for all who read my words, and hopefully, come away with something helpful and useful to your lives.
I would like to thank Searchwarp and all who read and commented on my articles. I am very appreciative.
I would like to also thank all of our men and women in the military. I am thinking about you, and I thank you.
Why I Want To Write
I want to pull all my thoughts out of my mind and write about them. I want to know if maybe someone has the answers to the questions that swirl in my brain and keep me up at night. I want to know if others share the same beliefs and concepts on life and love and kids and relationships and God. I want those who suffer from depression to read my articles on the very condition I, too, suffer from, and maybe they can find a piece of advice or an example of what I have learned to do to keep the demons away.
I want those who think they may have a problem with drinking to catch a sentence that I’ve written on alcoholism, and know they should step outside of themselves and get help. I want those who have just lost a mother or father to see glimpses of their pain and heartache in my accounts of how I dealt with the death of my parents, and maybe get some relief. I want to give hope to those who wonder if angels really exist in the shadows, and how I feel they’ve helped me in my times of deep distress.
I want to share my ideas of a loving and caring God who is pulling for us all, and hoping we can figure out how to live in peace. I want those who won’t leave their homes to read about the stories I have written on nature, and how pure and fascinating it is, just swinging on your front porch. Maybe you’ll go out to see the beautiful roses coming into bloom, chipmunks scurrying to gather the seed before the birds wake up and come searching for their breakfast. I love to watch them fly. It initiates a feeling of freedom and peace within me. I marvel at the way they take a bath in our birdbath, and even get under their wings!
I want to tell everyone about a toad that used to come to my front door every night around nine. He’d hang out for about thirty minutes, I’d hold him, talk to him, and then he’d be gone until the next night. I want to explain about a spider web that is perfect in it’s glorious form. I want to write about everything I know or have experienced. I want to mention books I have read on almost every subject of self help and spirituality in the hopes that someone else may receive the same rewards. I want to talk about my experiences with an auto immune disease, and just what that means, and what one can do to improve it’s affects on life.
I want to tell everyone about an eight pound little maltipoo, five years old, that has stolen my heart, and made me realize that innocence is the purest form of love. He understands and listens to everything I say. He brings wonder and excitement and happiness. He doesn’t know he lives a king’s life, but he does. He visits me and takes naps in a bed by my computer. When he’s done with that, he goes out again to check on things, and travels around the backyard, checking out the nature and the joggers that pass by. I want to write about my strengths and weaknesses. I want to share how I’ve overcome the obstacles that have come up in my life. Someone reading may be facing the same type of problems. I want to write about the problems kids face when they walk outside the walls of their childhood home, and have to figure out how to survive on their own. Maybe someone else’s kids are going through the same rough road, between high prices and new pressures of rent, security, gas, car insurance and food, etc.
I want to write about all the loving and caring friends and family who have soothed my feelings of fear and frustration going through a rough time. I want to talk about evil, because I know it exists. I want to talk about love, because it is my saving grace. Loving my family, friends, and wonderful people I am Blessed to have met through the Searchwarp site. It is humbling to know that there still are people out there in this World who care.
I want to write in a way that people have something interesting to read. In the same way a singer wants to write a song people will love to listen to over and over. I listened to Elton John when I first wrote. I first started listening to him in the 70’s, and I’m still a huge fan. Many articles I have written have been inspired by his music, and the words to his songs. Do CD’s wear out? This may be the first.
I want to write about how I wish people would stop judging. It is not our place to do so. I have no idea where mankind ever got the idea that they could. Judge the crime, not the person. No one seems to be familiar with the fact that sometimes, our brains misfire, and cause us to do things we normally wouldn’t do. The zero tolerance level needs to be explored. Patience and understanding and compassion are words that someone thought up, but they are rarely used in our society. That is, unless we are the ones who have done something wrong, and want forgiveness.
I want to write about how it feels to be so full of fear you don’t know what to do, where to go, or who to talk to. I want to write about the power of God and angels and spirit guides that can and will help you, whether you ask or not. I want to write about concepts I have developed and I have found to calm those panicky fears. I want to write to help myself, and others, and to take advantage of maybe a talent God gave to me, while others have their own distinct attributes. Yes, I want to write, and as long as there are ideas in my head, I believe I will continue.
Balance Is The Key To Peace
I have always had an energy pushing me along, forcing me to live life a little too quickly. Always jumping ahead of the gun. Answering, before the question is finished being asked. Worrying about tomorrow, and erasing today. Focusing on the doctor’s appointment at 3, from the time I got up, and learning to make appointments early in the day.
