Everyday I deal with people, and sorrow for their pain. It can be hard, but it also can be extremely joyful, as we can smile and laugh together and share our time. Sometimes this is ALL we can do. The indomitable strength of the human spirit is the reason I do this. To know, each one of us, shares our humanity and can treasure in our hearts a bit of some other jewel shared in this time we have with each other.

And it can indeed break my soft heart. I feel tears coming now. BUT there is indeed something that helps me, and gives me strength. This is part of how I see life. If you can share it, may it give you comfort.

We fight this fight for all of you, to help and grow.

Thank you for being part of this. It is all we, as human beings, can sometimes give each other. I did not write this, but it is to share, and hopefully gain and learn from.

As always,

Peace ,
and a heart full of love to you all.

To Life!

It's today, it's today!

Those are the first words of the movie "Stuart Little".

It's a kiddie movie. I watched it with my two boys.

A little boy began the movie by running out of his bedroom
shouting, "it's today, it's today."

He woke up his parents laying peacefully in their bed shouting,
"it's today, it's today!" as he jumped gleefully around their
bed.

The scene jumped to the three of them leaving the house as the
little boy, George, exclaimed again, "it's today, it's today."

"It's always today," his mother remarked.

"I know, but this is today!" George replied.

Thus began a kiddie movie.

It's amazing how little it takes to fascinate a child.
Such small things can make the world turn for a kid.

I remember my most enthralling possession.

It was a mini-bike.

You rarely see them now, but when I was a kid they were all the
rage.

Basically, it was a very small scooter with a lawnmower engine
on it.

Mine cost $175.00. It was a red Cyclops.

I paid every penny of it. My parents initially bought it but I
worked during the summer paying $25 a week for seven weeks on my
newfound treasure.

I proudly showed my father the automotive type drum brakes on it.

He showed great interest.

I now know that he couldn't have given a hoot about the
engineering of a boy's mini-bike but thank goodness he didn't
show it. I still remember his nodding head as I proudly
explained it.

A childish thing can be remembered for a lifetime.

I remember the first night that I had it my mother walked past
my bedroom and asked, "What's that gasoline smell?" I had
sneaked the mini-bike into the back door and had it parked in
my bedroom. I was just that excited.

She made me put my prized possession in the basement.

I sometimes think about the mini-bike.

Not that I long for it, but to think that so little satisfied so
much when you are so young.

I had to replace my car key recently. The key alone cost $175.
Needless to say, I got no excitement from the key and though the
car cost hundreds of times what the mini-bike cost, I got very
little excitement from the car.

When we are young and uncluttered with the views of typical
adulthood, everything holds a fascination.

The older we get, the more it takes and the shorter the
excitement lasts.

Now we often wake up and say, "another day."

We could learn something from little George.

Little George was expecting wonderful things to happen to him
because it's today. He was expecting to see wonders and miracles
because it's today.

He was expecting to be thrilled, to be amused, to play, to see
and learn something new because it's today.

You know what?

Little George was not disappointed.

Do you know what day it is?

It's today, it's today!
