too many people wanting to control too many people.   STOP trying to control each other, just allow each of us to be who we are and appreciate the positive.  If you don't like someone, then just go the other direction. no one is forcing you to stay & listen. don't like the rules at your job, find another one.  don't like their clothes, their hair, that tatoo they got one time when they were mad at their mom & wanted to *get back at her*, don't like their taste in music, ........  leave, go somewhere else.   STOP criticizing & judging, most of the time you don't know the person, no, you really don't!  you don't know what pain they are feeling, are they afraid, are they lonely, are they just shy?  START smiling at them, say hi, offer to hold the door open for them, just be nice in general.  so what if they don't look, talk, walk, smell like you or the way you think they should look, talk, walk, smell......   find out who they are before you judge them,  you might learn something! 

ok, 'nuff said.   good night & God bless!!

330 in the morning.....  
my mind is a blur of work, family, country, personal, financial worries. well, maybe *worries* isn't the best word to use, but instead *things i need to pray about*  i have to be to work early tomorrow and i'm sure i'll end up staying late again, 1am for the last 2 weeks, it's getting old. 
what about me?  when do i get to have a life worth living?  this has to stop!
don't get me wrong, i love my job, well most days anyway, but it can't be all i do!
so, how do i change this?  for right now all i can think of is to give it to God and ask Him to give me ideas, strength, energy & wisdom.  beyond that, i'm exhausted and it's time for me to shut the computer off.

If you're out there, thanks for listening!  :-D

ok, so it's been a little while since i've written anything, things happen!  grandkids come to visit, you go to work, go out with friends, sleep a little, clean house a little........ but anyway, here i am!  and it's now almost 3am.  i so need to get some sleep!  I just have one observation to make tonight (or is it this morning?)  LIFE HAPPENS!!!  we all just need to get over ourselves!  i'm tired of being *politically correct*!!!    the last i checked we still have freedom of speech and by gum, we need to use it!   i'm not vertically challenged, i'm short! i'm not *unyoung* i'm 58! and i'm not religiously challenged, i'm a Christian!  and if want to say i don't like something the democrats, liberals, republicans, *conservatives*, muslims, mormons, Jehovah's witnesses, scoobydoians, (LOL) have to say, or something they're doing then i should be able to say so without having to drape in veiled pc words!   i'm not saying we should say things to purposely hurt others, when we can we should avoid hurting others, but i AM saying we have a right to voice our opinions with out the pc police telling us how to say it!  or even IF we can say it.  Jesus checked with only one source before speaking up, and that was His Father!
so, that being said, i'm shutting off the lights and going to sleep.  I need to get some rest and i've had just about enough spouting off for one night.   If you're out there, thanks for listening!  :-D  !!!

oh, and we need to learn to laugh & LETITGO!!!!  

good night & God bless!!
