An individual of epic formation. You, my friend, show others how to re-energize yourself along the path of life. The path can be dark or can be bright...and I say, I see how you have taken yourself for a stroll along the bright path. We are walking with you. Happiness vs. depression -- these emotions come wrapped inside us the day we are born....and we decide to unwrap the box of happiness when we are celebrating with loved ones...or unwrap the depression box when something has failed us. .... However, there is a special box inside all of us that some don't even know we have...but you have found it...I have witnessed you using it through what I have seen you experience in life...It is that mighty spirit box that helps us pound that depression away until the happiness overrules. The Triumph is yours....What is -- is. Yes. What can be -- will be. Remember...horton hears a who? "We are here, we are here...." Anytime you need, my friend.Lisa Morris Josefakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696806436762941288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625999599642317298.post-55692276633478000022010-05-19T12:25:20.316-04:002010-05-19T12:25:20.316-04:00"A funny thing happened on the way to my futu..."A funny thing happened on the way to my future" a new book from Michael J. Fox. I did not read the book but I absolutely love the title. So true for all of us.....funny things happen to us on our way to our future. IT'S WHAT WE DO WITH WHAT HAPPENS TO US ON OUR WAY TO THE FUTURE THAT MATTERS. There are some people that the littlest thing happens and they fall apart. A policeman once told me "Some people have weak spiritual muscles" when this lady literally fell apart when her windshield was cracked a little bit because some kids hit it while mine was smashed but I felt thankful no one was hurt while she was screaming and literally pulling her hair. Weak spriritual muscles........<br /><br />I saw an interview with Michael J. Fox and he said his disease has given him a better life than he would have had. He used to take his life for granted and now he is so aware of his family and cherishes each moment of his life. I am sure there are moments that he falls back and has to bring himself right back on the right track as you were saying. We are all just human you know. Life is precious and you always have to remember how important and special you are to so many people. Your wife, your children, your grandchildren, your whole family and friends and now so many new acquaintances. You have been an inspiration to all and I am sure a help to many LVAD brothers and sisters and anyone who is contemplating an LVAD. THEY, whoever they are, say that things happen for reasons....most times I see the reasons and sometimes I keep open for the reasons.... Keep on keeping being you......cherishing and enjoying your precious life. You are a gift to all.....and the good saga continues.........TYGMama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12416359313972051117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625999599642317298.post-80502646377988977742010-05-19T03:23:17.816-04:002010-05-19T03:23:17.816-04:00Very good word gringo, as always I must say, it...Very good word gringo, as always I must say, it's best to keep the mind and body occupied with healthy things worthwhile and not lie to mourn what they do not make sense, look forward and enjoy the simple things like laughter of children, the affection of the wife or husband, the wind, the sun shining on the leaves and much other thing but without question! the inevitable and warm company of friends.<br />From here all my support and my love for you dear friend. :)<br />It's too late, I'm going to sleep, today I could not find my barman ahahha SW misses you.<br />Buenas noches compañero de bar.Isidoritarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925449188859208023noreply@blogger.com
