Isn't Life Funny?

You would think, reading the title that this is a little humor. It is all but humor.

Today, as we all do what we do, someone somewhere is doing something for the last time.

I feel sad for those who do things for the last time and don't know it. As most of us, we don't know when we will never see someone again. I always say "I love you," to everyone important to me everytime I talk to them. You never know.

As I sit waiting to hear the test results for a friend, our minds run through what we haven't done. Whom we've not said "I love you" to. Who many hugs we've not given. How much time not spent doing what we wanted instead of what others want of us.

Give hugs, kisses and smiles to everyone. Because you never know.

Dream

Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

The Changing Times We Live In

Wow, this campaign has gone on for a very long time, and yet there is still a lot of emotion.

It's no secret that I'm a Democrat. I have to say that I've been (and probably will continue to be) a Hillary supporter. However, I am a Democrat first and will fight with my might to get a Democrat into the White House.

Having said all that, what I'm really impressed with is the amount of emotion that is everywhere. I hear people talking in doctors' offices, in stores and on the street about this contest. It's totally amazing how many people this campaign have brought into the political process.

What really brings emotion to me, though, is that we are living through history making times. During my short life time (I'm not that old), I've seen the Berlin Wall fall, the Soviet Union break apart, China welcome foreigners, and a political campaign between a woman and an African American for the President of the United States. And, it appears, we will have our first African American President.

How far we've come. How proud I am. What an incredible time...I can't wait to see what the next 50 years will bring us! Change!
