It's a nice feeling. And it comes from keeping the focus on me and not what the other person wants.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451509587037762640.post-28148193059644428692008-07-07T12:10:00.000-04:002008-07-07T12:10:00.000-04:00Good Morning All,Ya know, this made me think a bit...Good Morning All,<BR/><BR/>Ya know, this made me think a bit this morning.....<BR/><BR/>For so long, I had lost what made me feel good, not necessarily the "big" things, but the "little" things, the "simple" things....<BR/><BR/>The last time I had visited the Woodland Park Zoo was way back as a kid, probably 7-8 years old. A week prior, I would have laughed at the fact that I would be back there, so many years later, as it wouldn't have even been on my radar screen.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can tell you that simply holding someone's hand, seeing God's creativity in the animals, the warm sun, kids with smiles on thier faces, the laughing, it put me in a state of contentment, peace, and serenity.<BR/><BR/>What "huge" rewards, from the "simple" things, the "little" things.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad I had that opportunity. I am a blessed man indeed.<BR/><BR/>Peace this Monday.<BR/><BR/>KevinBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451509587037762640.post-29204901514702098892008-07-07T10:00:00.000-04:002008-07-07T10:00:00.000-04:00Yo Joe, great message here.

She describes me as the root of all evil to her lawyer but I can't worry about all of the crap she spews. I just have to be me. Hopefully, those that matter will see through a clear window when they talk to me. If not, let them stay in the fog with her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451509587037762640.post-85929741787037359182008-07-07T08:34:00.000-04:002008-07-07T08:34:00.000-04:00What a great posting!

I am sure I used to know the answer to that, but I have been so busy just trying to work, take care of everyone, and run the household the last few years that I really don't know the answer to that question anymore. <BR/><BR/>(10 minutes of thinking)<BR/><BR/>I was on vacation the last few days and we were kayaking and hiking. I remember I like being in out nature. I had not done those things for a long time and they made me feel good. I like live music: jazz, blues and folk sort of stuff. I like the sound of the ocean breaking. I like ice cream. I like peace and quiet sometimes. Okay this is getting easier. I need to go write all of this down and tape it on my bathroom mirror where I will see it every day.<BR/><BR/>SuzanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
