Life Experiences & Opinions
I sometimes wonder why people think they are always right, have the right answer, think they know it all, do you? I by no way have all the answers, and in fact the one thing I do know is that NOBODY I know does. You may have certain life experiences that make you feel like you know better, but who says your way is better? One can only try it their own way and if it works out for them, then more the power to ya!
We all have different life experiences. Some people have lost close loved ones, some have not. Some have had close encounters themselves with death, some have not. Some of very little family, others have a lot. Some have life altering illness, and some have not. Some have had many jobs, and some have not. All these different life experiences give you opinions on how things should be, not that they are right opinions for everyone, just for indivually YOU.
Imagine being told that you've been through far less then the next person, and that because what they've been through, that they know more.....how would you react to that? Well let me tell you how I'll react to it............my life is different then yours, you do your thing and I'll do mine, and hopefully everything works out for all of us!
There are tons of books out there on how to better yourself, your life, your attitude etc, however the best book is your own. Live life your own way, the best way you know how. Remember to Encourage, Support and be Respectful to one another's beliefs, after all it's what you Believe that matters!

Goodbye Nana
Today we said Good-bye to my Nana. Below is what my Aunt Cate read, which really felt like it was written for my Nana.
I have sent up my gladness on wings, to be lost in the blue of the sky.
I have run and leaped with the rain, I have taken the wind to my breast.
My cheek like a drowsy child to the face of the earth I have pressed.
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I have kissed young Love on the lips, I have heard his song to the end,
I have struck my hand like a seal in the loyal hand of a friend.
I have known the peace of heaven, the comfort of work done well.
I have longed for death in the darkness and risen alive out of hell.
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I give a share of my soul to the world, when and where my course is run.
I know that another shall finish the task I must leave undone.
I know that no flower, nor flint was in vain on the path I trod.
As one looks on a face through a window, through life I have looked on God,
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
A Song Of Living

Remembering My Nana...Rest In Peace
A slideshow of my Nana throughout her life. She passed away on April 19, 2012 leaving a lot of memories behind. She also left many family members who loved her dearly. Such a special lady who I was fortunate enough to spend so much time with. On May 9, 2012 she will be laid to rest in peace. xo
