I lifted this from Nothing but Love Golfblogger (see my blogroll.) I am not sure on the whole living will deal etc but here’s an article that shows there is always hope: http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=78549&provider=top

 

Even a bad day is better than no day at all November 28, 2007

Filed under: Family, Words that affect me — hlzysk @ 4:43 am

My Aunt got us all to make a note about what we were thankful for this year and her son read them before we ate dinner. Some were funny, some sentimental…my uncle wrote something that struck me. He wrote,unfortunately I can’t recall his exact words, that he was thankful for each day on earth because even a bad day is better than no day at all. I thought wow that is so true. So as I was driving home from work the other morning at the crack of dawn not feeling very apreciative in general after working overnight I saw the most beautiful thing-the moon very large and bright shining in the hues of Autumn and a new day rising  - double wow! I tried to capture how gorgeous it was but really these pictures (my camera is on the fritz) do NOT do it justice:

 I thought of my uncle’s words as I admired this scenery. He is a wise man.

On a related note check out one of  my best friend’s posts: The Present she is trying to post a poem or quote each day and I am loving it!

I am on 2 antibiotics..TWO I TELL YA (from the blasted root canal)-how in sam hill did I get the flu? Shouldn’t that keep all infections out? Are they selective? How-for the love of God-how?!

the root canal/flu diet. It works but it totally sucks.

 

7 birthdays and a Turkey November 24, 2007

Filed under: Family, In my Opinion, Mind Body & Spirit — hlzysk @ 12:16 pm

On Thanksgiving as well as eating ourselves into oblivion we celebrated 7 birthdays(these were just our October/November Birthday people)…and yes we sang the Birthday song 7 times(there was only 1 cake.) It was suggested we only sing to the “kids” from now on. I disagree (so does at least one of my other cousins and I am pretty sure my Mom-mom would too.) I enjoy celebrating the individual person once a year. I love the little things (that really aren’t so little) my family does that make my family unique and special. I am afraid if we chop away anymore at the little stuff we traditionally do we’re going to lose that unique closeness. I don’t mind so much that we no longer do gifts (there are good & valid reasons for that)…but I can not for the life of me think of one good and valid reason we can’t belt out a Happy Birthday for our loved ones from ages 1-99. The following morning I read me friend Elle’s post “On Christmas Lights” and if you will so kindly click on the link it completely explains why I feel the way I do about “the little things.” Thank you Elle for sharing your beautiful dream and thoughts.

 

All thanks to… November 22, 2007

Remember that car I blogged about before? I figured out that if I hit the door in the right way with my fist-the window WILL work. I feel cool…ya’ know like Fonzy.

 

Deception November 13, 2007

Filed under: Deep Thoughts, In my Opinion, Personal Observations — hlzysk @ 5:56 am

This week deception was one of the themes of a shows I watch. I really don’t have a whole lot to say on the subject except I really get upset when I find out I have been deceived (I am sure everyone does.) Mostly I just don’t understand it when it comes to people who love you. Perhaps they think they are protecting you. Most certainly the deceptive one doesn’t feel comfortable with the truth. I try my best not to knowingly deceive anyone, although I am sure I have and can’t site any of those events at this time. My question is: with major deceptions when it comes to loved ones-how can you feel comfortable not revealing who you truly are? How can one truly be loved if they don’t reveal their “real” self. I tend to let it all hang out with people I truly love and expect the same. I suppose this is sometimes a bad thing but it’s who I am. This way I know the people who have stuck by me year after year are the ones that really love me.
