One Flaw in Women

Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream.. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

A Celtic Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall soft upon your field.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Poem

For Friends of the Handicapped
Blessed are you who take the time
To listen to difficult speech
For you help me know that if I persevere
I can be understood

Blesses are you who never bid me to "hurry up"
Or take my tasks from me
And do them for me
For I often need time rather than help

Blessed are you who stand beside me
As I enter new and untried ventures
For my failures will be outweighed
By the times I surprise myself and you
For my greatest need is to be needed

Blessed are you who understand
That it is difficult for me
To put my thoughts into words

Blessed are you who with a smile
Encourage me to try once more
Blessed are you who never remind me
That today I asked the same question twice

Blessed are you who respect me
And love me just the way I am

Flower

A flower….. It can either blossom or never grow to the potential that it has. Is that not what how the world works? You water the plant, love the plant, and some swear that you should talk to the plant. What happens if the world loved, talked and nurtured, not watered, their children? Would our society be any different? Would we have less crime/violence?

If given the right circumstances children can prosper more than we could ever hope for. What children need are people that give a damn and not someone that are just doing things for a paycheck every month. You need to have a nurturing and reassuring presence about you for someone to confide and want to be around you.

I know the way I see thing are in a utopian society but a person can try to see the potential that some of the children have and not the wrong thing. Why are some people so focused on the things that went wrong? Well shit happens all the damn time. You can grow from them in some way…. You might not find out why until later on in your life.

I know that resources are hard to find BUT whose fault could that be? Is it truly the government? In a way, I guess that you could say that OR is it the people’s fault? We could play the blame game all damn day and get nowhere. Just stop blaming and find solutions and put them into effect, even it if is just your life and yours alone. Look at it from this perspective; If you change your train of thought from pessimistic to optimistic and someone, by the grace of God, happens to see that you have prospered and you have over came your hardships, in a sense, you just changed their way of viewing the world’s challenges. Your story will be carried close to their heart and be passed through for generations to come. You were the inspiration to them to be better and make life goals, whether you realized that or not.

Forgotten

Who to you are “the forgotten” ones of today's society? Once people go down the wrong path, people consider them damaged beyond repair right? Do we toss them to the junkyard like we do with our cars that are damaged beyond repair supposedly?

BUT is there not someone that always seems to find their way back to that “damaged car” and see the potential that it might have even if it is in just one part of that car. Then why is so hard for us to do that in the society that we have today? What is holding us back from being able to do that?

All I can see that some of these people need and want are just someone that shows that they care and genuinely want to help them. .

Sky pictures

Something about the clouds and the sun is just beautiful. The clouds were taken in Suwanee, Georgia and the sun ones were taken in Covington, Georgia.
