“It is not whether you win or lose but how you play the game.”

Now some might ( especially the player who lose) find this annoying.

But if you can ask yourself “Did you play your very best?”

“Yeah.”

“Did you play clean and not cheat?”
“Yeah.”
” Then, feel good about your self because that is what counts.

Then I say ” You are actually the winner and they lose. At the end of it all, the scores will be tallied. You are clearly the one who wins.”

It is a good life lesson because life is not about the moment: it is about every moment, every step, you take and doing your best.

So appreciate the monument be it good or bad. (win or lose).

Each step you survive has taught you so much and will strengthen you..

It is about Good sportsmanship. Everybody loses sometimes and the others had a better day that day.

This is a lesson for our children because if you are an adult and you do not know this! Well I ‘d say ‘to late for you’. LOL

‘ People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.’ (I do not know who said these words first and I give credit to who did).

When a person enter your life or crosses your path and it is for a ‘ REASON’. the reason is usually to meet a need of yours . That person is there to give you advice or assistance. Maybe to support and guide you though a difficulty. It may be emotionally, spiritually or physically. They seem like a God sent angel and They Are. Then for some reason they are out of your world, you no longer see them or whatever. Realize this, your need has been met. They have filled that desire and are no longer needed. Your prayer has been answered and so, time to move on.

Then there is a ‘SEASON’. People come into your world for a season, because you can share, grow or learn with this person. You have fun with them and they make you laugh. You may experience new things with them or they teach you. These people usually give you a great amount of pleasure and you to them. But only for a season.

‘LIFETIME’ is a relationships that teach you lifetime lessons. You can have a solid emotional, physical and spiritual foundation. You will need to love these people and put to use all the reasons and the seasons to have it all. These people are there in good and bad times and they are there to share, care and love you. A lifetime is my lifetime.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

I remember one morning when I heard Elk rutting. The screams were shrilling and loud sharp piercing sounds. The males could lock horns for over a day. Of course the power struggles humans have can easily exceed that. When power issues are raised, it is possible the hidden truth is there but no one can see it. When one challenges another and wins, is there really power to capture for is it really there?? I wonder (ponder, ponder??)

Lets use the imagination… We are walking in the forest and we come upon a beautiful mansion and you can see it is full of fine furniture and many precious objects. A note on the door says” Do not think of stealing and do not envy the one who seems to have it. All you need is a personnel key, then open this door and all is yours.”

Well, where is the key? To find the key, is to let your intuition lead you. If this is hard to do then visualize what you are holding onto now and see it as in future years from now. This may seem scary, but like a snake and his skin, after a loss comes something more fresh and new..

The advice of an old one ” Listen to the sounds around you, if you don’t like the sounds change the station; meaning you have the responsibility to live as a good person. As a person who knows the right way and goes that way, if you are going the wrong way just turn around and step by step you will be going the right way.”

June 25, 2009. Thank You

With some time off work I can take some time to stop and smell the rose, so to speak. The scenery around me is amazing and as I gaze at the beauty I feel the need to share.

I feel so blessed because of the closeness I have with my family, How good I have got it.

Even through difficult times I am able to pull through. I just have to pace myself, step slow and gentle. Trying not to stumble.

When I am in the company of the strong willed, I need not to rush. Mistakes are made then.

I should not take it to another level but try to use humor. Think of the old days, the court jester often had more power than the king. He use humor to win friends and influence people.

Oh Michael, I admired you.

Keens’ are my friends.

Today I write a post of a straight out thoughts and feeling. To day is the last day of having Gerhardt Junior living in my home. He has been here for the last 10 months. He has brightened our home and we have had much laughter. He loves photography, filming, hockey, skiing, hiking, slack lining. anything to do with the outdoors.

He was a pleasure everyday he was here. I know he is a young and powerful man and he will be a great man. He will do great things.

I consider myself blessed. I will miss him very, very, very much.

We will eat together tonight. We will have hamburgers, by Gerhardt Junior’s request.

God is with you Junior.
