You are alive. The best gift ever.

Negativity can ruin that gift, so can society. Its hard when others can't see it...then one's own soul doesnt realise it either.

So many ways to go with that one statement.

I'm enjoying it - even the days I think I am not - I find something to remind myself how good I have it



and now - moving to GD

Yes, I am.

Today I especially am. I just found out my sister's biopsy came back benign. After a week of fretting and agitating like a crazy guy, I now feel really happy. I think I was even walking a little bouncy this morning.

Very cool sentiment.

Love life, love my kids, love my husband, love sisters, brother, 4 nieces, and 2 little god children...Love my kids school!! Life is damn good!

Yes it is. Life if good, even when you don't think you have all you wished you had.

Stop wasting your lives on here then

I could be a bit more appreciative of it lately.

every single day.

...but how do you know the afterlife is not 10 times better!!!

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

insert Prince video here....in yo' mind!

Sho nuff.

In combination with good health- and human dignity- life is a gift.
However, there are plenty of situations I can imagine I'd rather have they put me to sleep than drag on with the concept of just being alive. I was friends with a lady who - everytime I visited her- made it clear that she couldn't wait to move over to the other side, even if she was lucky enough to have loved ones around her. So to her, being alive was not all that.

I've found a way to actually make my life sooooo much more interesting.. Instead of looking at people for their differences (Black, White, Rich, Poor, Ugly, Beautiful, too much make up, not enough..etc) Look for similarities, my life has changed so much for the better..

Life's for Loving!

One never forgets the day one almost died
