One day a father took his son and rich family to a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show his son how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"Very good Dad!" replied his son.

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon." When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

Our outlook on life depends on the way you look at things. What others may think as riches, others may want. The most important things in life are your friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life. If you have these then you have everything!

Good luck!

Does that me mean you got married?

No Mizz Terry I am not! Unfortunately as we speak, my challenge is coming to a halt, I have conceded gracefully with full exception of failure, twas all my fault, yes, just like I had foreseen and Probably right on schedule. Was quiet the challenge I will give it that! I don’t think of this as a failure, for I have loved and lost. More of a learning experience, with the knowledge that some people cannot and will not change for the better even if you try you hardest for them to see the light. The light was bright, just a tab bit out of reach. The baggage to be thrown away is still cluttered in the closet and latterly dribbling out into the living room bathroom and kitchen. Oh and ever other room in the house. It dribbles soo far that nothing is really out of its path! This will never be cleared from the eyes of existence. I myself have never seen such baggage and believe me; I thought I have seen it all.

Although I have tried far more and harder than Even I would expect, without lying harder than anyone reading this would ever try to endure, I still am saddened at the loss of the littleness. I have grown soo attached but hopefully in knowing me and watching my tolerance levels they themselves will have grow. They are extremely bright and caring and nurturing ones themselves. I really should have taken your advice form the get go and not become attached to them Mizz Terry, for you have foreseen the future beyond even I, Yet the balancing act in itself is there was it wrong for me to get attached for more than a year and have them learn form me or should I have just turned my back and ran the moment I laid eyes on the whole scenario? I believe I might have told you the first moment I laid eyes on this woman I spoke out load and said “’OH GOD’ KNOW I’M IN TROUBLE”! True and the person standing next to me asked why…

But Mykil, were you conscious at every step along the way? Or were you collecting melancholy during your dance?

In the end all we have are memories
What a wonderful web we weave,

Yes Mz. T; You know, knowing the outcome before you even begin sometimes is just as hard...

I have this cat that follows me into the basement, and he has let himself get locked in numerous times, for days on end.
Keeps on doing it though.

Don't we call that neurotic? Or just a dumb animal? Are there smart ones? I know there are cute ones, are there any that do math?
I need my morning coffee.

Cats don't do things because they have to, but because they can't help themselves

Mine can tell time.

They know when it's a half hour before feeding time.

That's when they start bugging me.
