Beautiful Day

What a day outside! The sun is shining and clouds moving slowly by. I am think about taking a trip to cleveland's Little Italy for something although I am not sure what. You meet and see all kinds of people there. It is nice to sit at a table outside and watch the world walk by. Most of the time people do not realize you are watching them. They are busy talking on the phone or talking with someone beside them as they walk down the street. Do you remember a time when we did not have cell phones and just walked. We noticed a beautiful day and enjoyed everthing around us. Today people do not see anything as they move about the street, a mall, or driving down the room. Sad is it not.

People miss out on a beautiful day.

Death and our children

Went to a funeral today. Do you know what the hardest part of this was, it was knowing that the mother of the person who pasted away buried her last child. She was 99 and she has outlived all three of her grown children. As a mother that has to be the hardest thing she has to do. We as mothers do not plan to out live our children and we take for fact that we will not outlive them. Sometimes we are wrong. As a parent we expect to raise our children, hope to have grandchildren and enjoy old age. Burying a loved one is hard, burying a child is the hardest thing I can only imagine. The pain is not something we can say we understand because we can't until we experience it of course.
The one thing that makes me wonder is the generation before the baby boomers are living to a grand old age and yet generations after that are not. Very few people live to a grand age and enjoy life. What is wrong with this picture, what are we doing to kill ourselves early so that our parents are burying us before we bury them. We need to take a good look through history to find the key to a healthy life and not have to face the pain of burying our own children first.

Being Rich yet poor

Sometimes I wonder what people lose in order to get the money and power they want. Does it take a piece of their soul and slowly eat it away. I have yet to see a happy married rich couple. If anything they are the lonely people, always searching for something that is beyond their hand. Money can not buy you the love and happiness that others reach. It seems to me that money destroys lives and yet people keep moving on toward that burning light. Not worried who they hurt or destroy in the process to get there. Look at Donald Trump, Michael Jackson, and other people who have money what did it get them in the end? Nothing but a lonely life always living in the shadows of their money, never knowing true friendship or love.

Watching others

It is amazing when you are at a fair and you see couples, friends, and other people just hanging around. Some couples are laughing and talking to other couples when you see the signal. I have noticed it is mostly men although I have seen some women do this two. They are together talking having a great time being together when either the guys or ladies turn toward each other talking and not noticing the signals the other persons are passing to each other. The signals are look at that person or lets meet up tonight later when everyone is asleep. This is a split second signal full of meaning.

The others miss it and keep on going as if nothing ever happen. Makes you wonder what they plan on doing. Are they just looking at other people or making plans to see someone. Here is the question, Are there faithful couples out there anymore? When you make a promise to someone is it just for that moment until the next person comes along or do you in your heart mean it but forgot it along the way? I go to these fairs a lot and see this all the time. It is no wonder cheating shows are a big hit on TV
