Life would be a lot nicer, if I didn't have to put up with all the ringtone adds.

Sheesh, everywhere i turn on TV, or the net, there is more and more advertisement for cellphones, and ringtones. I don't blame those trying to make a living, but it gets kind of boring after a while. OK enough of my ranting.

Life on this end has been good. The book is coming along just fine, and the classes are doing well. Everyday, I get more and more ideas of how to help my students more in dealing with todays streets. Maybe soon I can even slow down long enough to enjoy some peace and quite.

Until next time, may the great spirit, shine his blessings on each of you.

It has been a while since I have written anything out here. Unfortunately it has not been my choice.

Mom has been in the hospital three times since I last wrote to all of you, and how I have missed being able to write and read what others have posted.

Spring is finally here and and with it new birth and hope, for a brighter summer to come. Hopefully Mom will continue to do better, and soon we can go for our walks that we have always enjoyed this time of year. I can only pray for the best, and I ask also for yours.

I have been working on the school, and I hope to finish it soon. old students are coming back, and old friends seem to still be missing. I have always understaood peoples need to have some down time, but I have never understood why they leave and really ahve no explanation. It is like there are here today and gone tomorrow. Just doesn't amke sense to me. Kind of like having a disagreement adn never taking the time to talk it out. Then if parting the ways is still bet, do so, but always leave the bridge up...never burn it. Seomtimes the ones you burn ends up being the one you need.

well enough for me tonight...time for bed. I hope to be back real soon.

Until next time, may the great spirit shine blessings down upon all of you.

Peace,

Tae

Tomorrow is the 55Th anniversary of my birth. As time goes by and I get older, I think about my own mortality more.

The classes are going well now, I am am on the path i know I should be on. There are Friends I would like to hear from, and some who are no longer here to hear from. Life is so short, and sometimes we forget how precious life is until it is to late.

My birthday wish for me, is that I hear from some of my friends I have not heard from in a while. just to say hi, and maybe to catch up a little.

Until next time, may the great spirit bring you peace, and blessings.

So,, here we are at the end of another week, and all is well so far.

I have read a lot of post this week, in the various groups I am in, and I have learned quite a bit. For instance, some of the groups are always alive with something, and others just take it slow and easy. I like the slow and easy at times, because it allows one to really think about what they are going to post, without fear, it may get in there to late. I also like the groups where the posters feel like family. That kind of group makes you feel warm and welcomed always, and the respect that they have for one another is amazing.

What i don't like are the trolls. A troll is someone who goes from group to group, and whose main purpose is to cause trouble in the groups, or choose a couple of people to pick on, and belittle. Never could understand the purpose of that....but it seems this time of year brings them out in droves. Without a doubt they are usually thrown out in the groups, or they leave on their own. But, my question ha always been, What joy to they get out of hurting other people? I mean in this day of being able to talk to anyone around the world, shouldn't we spend more time, learning from those in other countries, and getting to know them?

William, and I have a group that is well for that purpose. Although listed under debates(which we do have some good discussions in it), it is actually more of a spirituality group. NO politics are allowed, and we have folks for across the pond in there with us..it is amazing how much we have in common. Much more than one might think, being that we live so far from one another.

It proves the point though, that if we treat each other with respect, we can learn much more, than always challenging, and belittling people. Oh well, one day maybe the trolls will learn, and finally be nice, and join the rest of us. Until then, the groups will just have to put up with them, and bear and grin it.

Until next time, may the great spirit give you great blessings and you an bring you great peace.

Life is short, and for some shorter than others. I have couple of Friends who have lost love ones recently, and friends who are battling for their lives, and so, I write this to them.

No matter what we may think, we do touch others in a way, we may never realize. We make friends that we do not realize we have made, and we sometimes forget just how precious life is.

Along the road called life, there are many turns and many paths that we will take to complete our journey. Some of these turns and paths we do not want to take, but it is not something we can get out of. When those times come, remember there are those who love and care about you. Remember that although times may look bad now, you may find help when you least expect it, from places you never dreamed...Just like I did recently. Remember that nothing very bad, or very good lasts very long, and although you may think it will never get better, it will. Most of all, remember those you have lost with fondness and love, and treat those you love(friends and family alike), with a kind thought, patience, and a caring heart like there is no tomorrow, because in truth, tomorrow is promised to no one. Above all face life and its trying times with integrity, honor, and compassion.

Until next time, may the great spirit, shine his light on you, and bring you great peace.
