What I've Learned



1.The minute you settle for less than you deserve is the minute you get even less than you originally settled for.

2.I don't think as far ahead as what I'm going to be doing this time next year...Hell ,I'm having a hard enough time wondering what I'm going to be doing in the next half hour!

3. A lot of creative guys (artists,actors, writers, singers, songwriters, musicians)had some beautiful woman either by their side or on their mind.

4.I've loved only a few women, I've admired many.

5.If you work really hard, you've got to have some pleasures....

6.Getting together with friends and having good conversation over a good meal is one of life's great pleasures.

7.I desperately need the love of complete strangers....That's why I always tip well!

8.You know you're getting old when all of the Basketball and Football and Baseball players you admire are younger than your children and all of the coaches and general managers are your age.

9.Most of the good lessons in life I learned, I learned the hard way.

10. Never Forget to be happy at least once during every day!

So true, cousin! I'm in that group mentioned in #8. All the players I admired in basketball and football are now in the Hall of Fame, retired as I'd like to be!!




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes anger seems so near to the surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt, a disappointment I had not expected can make my emotions swirl with the force of a small cyclone. Sometimes my heart feels hot, my nerves feel edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent, go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go would render the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence. Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.
