Happy Mother's Day

My son did a special gift for me today. he created a blog ,he even put a song list on it with special songs for Mothers. I think this is one of the best gifts I have ever gotten. he is a very thoughtful young man and he has given me other wonderful gifts,showing his appreciation and love for me.
Mother's Day is hard after you lose your own Mother, but when you have children you appreciate the day being their Mom.

Richard Jeni

Suicide is such a tragedy. Richard Jeni such a talented man who made the world laugh for years. Apparently he was bothered by something in his life which couldn't be conquered by humor or fame.It is sad for the world and even more sad for the Jeni family. God bless them and let them find strength in the Lord.
"What a loss and what a shame, as someone who gave so much laughter and joy, that he couldn't find enough to give it to himself," comedian David Brenner said Monday.
Doesn't that really say it all?

Heartbreak

:" It's not the heart that makes you hurt, it's the mind… we think too much." --- Written in 2006 by Antonio Delgado --- California

Isn't this so true? We hurt so much when trauma enters our life, but it truly isn't our heart,it is our minds going over the hurt and thinking how we might have changed anything to keep it from happening. In our minds we torment ourselves with what ifs and I should haves, so that our mind is tormented, and we can actually make ourselves physically ill.
Yet the truth of the matter is our mind is making us hurt, causing our pain,not our heart.

Could you be so brave?

In the news lately ,there have two stories of heroes

One was about a man in New York who saw a young man fall onto the subway tracks. he jumped down to try to drag the young man to safety. He thought he would not have time,so He threw the man down and lay on top of him in a small area on the tracks. Some of the subway cars rolled over him. They both survived because of his bravery. I wonder if I have that in me to save a persons life Could I be so brave in this situation?
What about the young soldier who covered a grenade with himself to save his fellow soldiers. We hear some stories of wrong doing in the war by soldiers but there are so many more brave men and women giving their lives to defend this country.
I just hope that if I am faced with a situation I will be brave enough to do what is needed.
