Happy Veterans Day

I would like to personally thank all those who have served, and are currently serving our beloved country. I didn't have to a chance to attend the largest Veterans Day parade west of the Mississippi(fun fact about Albany) this morning, but I did happen to hear the jet engines of the fighter planes make their way over Albany. I nearly fell down the stairs trying to throw on some clothes just in time to run out the front door to stand in the driveway and see them. Pretty freaking amazing if you ask me! *Cough Cough Dream Job Cough.....*

Thanks again to past and present who gave me my freedom. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for all of you!!!!!

Ten Rules For Being Human

  1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
  2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school call, "life."
  3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
  4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
  5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
  6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
  7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
  8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
  9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
  10. You Will Forget All This.
