Another day...Another blog that says nothing.It's hard to remain optimistic in a world that is so damn negative. Everywhere you look, someone is trying to tear you down. The impatient lady behind you at an intersection, beeping her horn, waving a fist at you. Companies overcharging you for a product that you don't even really want. Even people you know...Co-workers, sneaking off to tell stories about you. Or, even worse, relatives feuding and not-speaking because your baby looks like an "alien". Think that's a stretch...it really happened. No one has learned their lesson yet. And, perhaps that is the moment of your death. That precise moment when you know more than you should. When you have reached a state of human exactness. When you are worth more to another world, then you are to ours.I often think of the little lads who have to grow up without a Mom or Dad. Is there anything sadder? Life has been forever changed in the blink of an eye. Unfair.
It's hard to remain optomistic in a world that is so damn negative.If you've taken the time to read this far, take a long look at the picture of the little blonde boy. He will not know his Mother or Father. Go about your day now. Make it a better world today.
Smile...today could be your last.

Woke up in a terrible mood this morning. I was full of anger and rage. Ready to snap. Then I thought of my new friend Sara. I get to swim with her today for the last time. It's been 5 weeks, and I think she is comfortable with me now. I tell her that she is an angel. She doesn't repond. Not because she doesn't want to, but because she can't. It's hard to know what she is thinking, if anything at all. I am supposedly "normal" but there are plenty of times I can clear my mind and think of nothing at all. What would it be like if this was your everyday, all the time? I wonder, but then again, I am blessed enough to be able to even have thoughts like these.

Well, with this being my first post, I thought I would keep it short and simple. I would like to look back on these thoughts and smile, cry, and cringe someday in the future. It is a strange thing to put your thoughts onto the web, hanging out there like clothes on a wire for all to see...
Frankly, I am surprised that so many do.
Smile...today could be your last.
