It is funny how God can put what you think may be a life altering situation and show you very quickly that you are just acting like a child. I posted earlier this week a picture of a crazy Muppet looking guy with a caption "this is how I feel"... I honestly wanted to blow up something. I attribute my anger or short fuse, if you will... to me not attending my weekly yoga class for two weeks now.
When I got to my second job and told my friend and coworker my overwhelming woes... even though they were bad, I still have a job and things were resolved. I then proceeded to ask her why she was so sad the day before when I had spoke with her, and she said, her mother had a stoke about 5 years ago and was paralyzed. Slowly over the years, the depression and the paralysis began to improve. She received a call while enjoying her spring break, that said her mom had tried to take her own life.
At that very moment, I broke down into tears. I was humbled that this 19 year old girl, came home early and was now dealing with a fragile mother. My issues seemed to melt away.
With the help of my friend and a good, hard, spin class... my blood pressure has come down and the accida (I am sure I did not spell that correct) has subsided.

The Fray... a great tune.
You Found Me... By, The Fray
I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything"
Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me
But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna be
No way to know how long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!
The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want!
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!
Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me?

Old Poems
I was going through some of my stuff in boxes and I found an old notebook of mine with poems. Growing up, I had a notebook to write random thoughts in, instead of a diary. I would love to share some of them...
I wrote the below in 1999...

The Game Of Life
I sit here helpless
In the Super Bowl of Life.
Apart of the crowd in the bleachers,
So far away.
I wish I was Moses,
So I could part the sea of people
who stand in our way.
As you play your game of life
I sit cheering you from a far.
I want to make an impression
On your heart that last forever.
Cause I'm sick of being on the sidelines;
I'm ready for my close up!
I am sick of the one player games,
I wanna play with you;
A game of life,
for eternity.

I'd Like to Post a Retraction from my earlier Post....
In the post "Let Lying Dogs Lie...?" I mentioned Jake saying that the people in his past need to stay in his past... He read my blog and would like me to correct his actual statement. Jake said, "anyone he wants to talk to, he can get a hold of." I apologize if this incorrect statement hurt anyone in the process!! :)
