THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH

THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH

In times like this
In times of bliss
Of happiness and pain
Through sunshine and rain
No matter what you may be going through
Know that the light will always shine through
When what lay at your feet, is the world ahead
Yet you can’t seem to drag yourself out of bed
When you are blessed with all that surrounds
Yet seem as though you are all alone
Know that the light will always shine through
You may feel as though everything is in your reach
Yet for you so far out of reach
That you are everything
Yet nothing
And at times you may feel as though time is slipping by
Looking back at the days passed and wanting to cry
Knowing that things are forever going to change
Wondering if there will be anything that will stay the same
Yet know this, you must do
The light will always shine through
In everything that you do in your coming life
And with each new experience that comes into your life
Know that the light will always shine through

CHRISTMAS WISHES

CHRISTMAS WISHES

HEY EVERYONE I JUST WANTED TO WISH EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS. I ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU HOW GREAT GOD IS. ALL OF OUR CHRISTMAS WISHES CAM TRUE THIS YEAR. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE STRUGGELING TO GIVE OUR KIDS A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND (AS ALWAYS) GOD CAME THROUGH. OUR KIDS WERE SINGED UP AT AN ORGANIZATION AND WHEN WE GOT THE GIFTS FOR THEM THERE WAS A CARD WITH THE GIFTS FROM THE WOMAN WHO GRABBED THEIR NAMES. INSIDE THE CARD WAS A LETTER THAT SHE WROTE TO US.
THE LETTER SAID THAT SHE WAS GRATEFUL THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO BUY FOR KIDS….SHE THANKED US FOR ALLOWING HER TO BUY FOR OUR KIDS. I WAS SO TOUCHED BY THIS LETTER BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME THAT HER SON DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT TWO YEARS AGO ON CHRISTMAS AND LAST YEAR SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF BED. AND THIS YEAR WHEN SHE SAW OUR NAMES ON THE ANGLE TREE SHE CHOSE OUR NAMES AND THAT SHE WAS BLESSED AND HONORED THAT WE ALLOWED HER AND GAVE HER THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY FOR OUR KIDS…I WAS SO TOUCHED THAT I STARTED CRYING. I RECEIVED HER EMAIL IN THE LETTER BECAUSE SHE ASKED THAT I SEND HER PICTURES OF THE KIDS OPENING UP THE GIFTS. I WILL BE SENDING THEM TODAY.
IN ADDITION TO THAT…I MY KIDS WERE SIGNED UP AT THEIR SCHOOL AND RECEIVED A LOT OF GIFTS. WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED BY GOD AND MY KIDS HAD SUCH A MERRY CHRISTMAS. I WANT TO WISH ALL OF MY READERS A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT CHRISTMAS WISHES REALLY DO COME TRUE. MY KIDS HAVE BEEN PRETENDING THAT THEY HAVE A BAND FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND TODAY THEY GOT THEIR INSTRUMENTS TO START THEIR BAND. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

TURKY DAY MIS-HAPS

OK, so to day was Thanksgiving. Most of us cook (as I usually do) and most of us go to families houses for the long awaited yummy dinner...I decided to go to my families this year...was this a good thing? or was it a bad thing? I guess I already knew the answer to that question before I went down there...

In my family there are two kinds of people...the kind who care (the outcasts) and the kind who don't give a s**t (the "in" crowd). take a guess at which category I fall into when it comes to my family...well you got it! I am the one who cares...more formally know as "the outcast". It is sad really to think that even a family can have "clicks" and then to see that your family has one. Well in my case...my family has a click...my parents and my brother and sister...and then there is me. Now I am not weirdo or freak or anything like that, I just don't agree with a lot that they themselves agree upon...and every time my family gets together, there is always a blow-out, no matter the topic or situation...there is always a blow-out!

Today was no exception to that rule . it all started so fast to where I really don't know where to start...so let's start with the "simple" story from today and then go into the other one...Here is the first situation...My brother "fixed" my son's roof in his room a month ago and now it is leaking again, so (given the fact that I have been trying to get him down here to fix it the right way for the past 3 weeks) I brought that up to him and how I needed him to come and fix it the right way...Somehow that statement turned into the fact that I am not an understanding person that my brother does not have a job right now (which is it my fault that he WON'T go get a job). And I have no heart that he is upset by this right now...blah, blah, blah...so I come back with the fact that I AM understanding and do have a heart and if I wasn't or didn't, then I would not have let my brother slide on 4 months of rent he was suppose to pay me (because I knew he was hard for $$ at the time). Is that a heartless person? No, I didn't think so... then everyone started yelling at me because I wanted him to come and fix my roof the right way, and saying "why are you bringing this up now..." So I said...well, because he has been giving me the run-around and not coming to fix my roof like he was suppose to in the first place" so then I was told that if I did not like it then maybe I shouldn't even come...WOW! what a family...huh!

and finally the other situation, probably the most ridiculous of both of them... My brother-in-law started YELLING and CURSING at me for the simple fact that one of my kids said that there is not a Santa Clause...I mean come on "adults" let's get real...kids are kids and they are going to say what they are going to say...Don't come to me yelling like a 5 yr. old because of what one of my children said...I don't know like I said ridiculous...but hey?! what are you going to do...I just let them have their little fits and go about my business...

OBSESSION

hello all,

Jana here again. i wanted to write today and was not sure of what i was going to write about until now. you know i have always remained faithful to my husband, even through our hard times. We went through a time where we were dealing with a lot of difficult things in our lives and instead of him talking to me about things, he took things in his own hands and started talking to another woman. I didn't find this out until after we were married and of course he ended things when i told him either he has her as a "friend" or he has me. Through time I could not let this go, because I NEVER expected this kind of behavior out of him. We had known each other for 7 years and were best friends. We got each other through a lot in life and we were so much alike...we still are today (aside from the cheating part). this is why i never expected this out of him.

I could not let things go. I became obsessed with what exactly went on between them. I started asking questions and got pieces...first it was "innocent" information like that he just talked to her and then when i pushed the issue more, I found out more little details. Through the past two years I have become more and more obsessed with this situation and it is so hard for me to let go because each time i bring it up (like every couple months or so) I find out more information...he always says that there is no more information each time, but then I put everything together and then I end up bringing it up again and then I find out something else...

i feel like i am losing my mind here. For each time i find out something new, it hurts me but yet then again i become more obsessed with the situation and want to know more. I am still to this day obsessed with this, and want to know everything and he says still that there is no more information. Am I crazy for being so obsessed, and how does one NOT become, or overcome obsession?

any answers would be appreciated because I feel like I am losing my mind here with this obsession...I mean I want to go so far as to find this other woman and get her side of the story, but can't find her. Anyway, enough venting today. talk later.

JL

A MAN'S BEST FRIEND

MAN’S BEST FRIEND



To see him lying there so sweet and innocent

His big brown eyes looking up at me

There’s a sparkle, a gleam

Almost like a dream

So kismet

Man’s best friend

Woman’s worst enemy

Who knew, this, he could be

So sweet,

So kind

Yet so discrete,

He sneaks behind

Under a tree he lay so gently

Who knew he could be so slimy

Quiet and laid back, he seemed so sweet

Who knew, my heart, he hungered to eat

Who knew he was plotting against my heart

As to save it for the platter he rolls upon a cart

So juicy, so pure

So full of love, yet unsure

He leaped from his spot

To love me?...Oh! NOT

He tossed me here and there

He threw me everywhere

His love and kindness, he was suppose to share

Yet I did not have the long beautiful brown hair

He tucked me under his bed

Put me out of his head

Then went on his way

To claim yet another, on this very day.
