So I'm here

Everyday is a new beginning. A chance to make it a better day than yesterday. I am trying to remember from moment to moment that my easiest day will always be yesterday. But that's ok. I'm not where I was yesterday either. I'm in a better frame of mind right now than I was just an hour ago. So I will remain, be still and say...

...so I'm here.

...I hate my phone

We decided a few month's ago to go with Sprint for our mobile service. I have no complaints regarding the service as we have not (knock on wood) had any issues with that. However, I got the Instinct HD phone. Oh how they praised this phone that it could do so much, blah blah blah. Yet for some reason, I had such issues with it. For one, it took me month's to find a decent case for it as it was being "phased out" I was informed...oddly I was informed after having it only about a month. Then I began having issues with it freezing mid-way through a text or email checking. I then have no option but to turn it off then back on again. Now, it has been "unable" to have internet access on it for some stupid reason. I am beyond over this phone and have decided I may only be meant for the most basic of phones. Any thoughts on this? Because let me just say...

...I hate my phone!

Another revalation...

I've had a new revelation so to speak. I've finally gotten it through my think skull that there are truly only a handful of people that I can trust in this life. Unfortunately only one of those few is actually a family member. Suffice it to say that I will not be letting that wall down again. As I have said many times, I would rather leave a window cracked for the possibility of true connection with other people that to open that door wide only to be kicked in the teeth. It's amazing to me how fickle people can be, yes me included. The more I open my eyes to the reality of the human connection and relationship of "friendships", the more I love my cats (to borrow someone's saying).
And so...

...another revelation.

Inspirational...

I just have to post this. I have read alot of books in my life. Among those I've read a lot of biographies and autobiographies. I've read about people I admire and had varying reactions from no difference in my perception of them to actually a loss of admiration of them. However, I have never, EVER read a book about someone I already admired where my admiration of the person has grown by leaps and bounds. But I have to say, the two books by and about Duane "Dog" Chapman have done that for me. Though his first book "You can run but you can't hide" is by far NOT kid friendly due to the content discussed (mostly while he was in Huntsville), it was so real. Real to the extent of raw honesty. Upon finishing the second book "Where mercy is shown, mercy is given", I have developed more of an admiration for him and his whole family. The trials they all had to go through was horrendous. Not to take away from them all as a whole, it is the inspiration of seeing "Dog" come back from the brink of Hell to become the person he is.

If you read nothing else in the near future, I fully recommend both of these books. He is a representative of God in a way I would have never imagined and though he had my admiration before....he has it more so now. He truly is an inspiration, not just to me but to anyone who says "I can't make anything better of my life".

So I say....Inspirational.
