MY CIRCLE OF LIFE

I am a very happy and peaceful person. I am patient, pleasant and sometimes just plain sweet. I find being kind or nice is very easy and I always enjoy the look of surprise on people’s faces when you just act respectfully towards them. This has become a very aggressive world, sad for us who like peace, kindness and tranquility.

Throughout my life I have always managed to find something to cherish in my day: a moment, a sound, a smell, possibly just a passing thought. But I was raised to always see my glass more than half full and it always was. I was born with sheer magic in my soul and it has survived many disappointments in my lifetime. I can honestly tell you I have never and I mean not even have I ever come close, to meeting anyone else like me.

My life took me down a path, rather than me going down a path I made. Luckily time has not run out on me yet. To put it mildly, my life as I knew it ended, I fell into a bottomless pit, of one incredible event after another. I went from married, living in my dream house on the mainline of Philadelphia, Mercedes in the driveway and all, to filing bankruptcy, a house in foreclosure, no husband, no more car and a great deal of debt. I managed to have my wonderful life turned upside down in just a matter of a few extremely difficult years. Even the best of plans can go off track. The how or why my world became a giant black whole, is not as important to me as what I am planning to do about it. First thing I did was empty my world. I took a time out to think this all through and the best and easiest idea I came up with was just start over. Now that is why I am going to start my life all over again. I am now on my first and last path to my “Best Life”.

I have called this particular piece my "Circle of life" and that is because I have completed one full life already. When I say that the point I am trying to make is that except for tying me to a stake and setting me ablaze, I don’t imagine there is much else left that the world can do to one little old woman. Life has certainly been an adventure and it has taught me many lessons - mostly the behavior of people, something I have observed closely for many years.

My mother and I have always been very close, more so than any of my friends were with theirs. My mom was and is my best friend, along with my best friends. My friends and I could always count on having as much fun or sometimes even more when she was with us, it also worked the other way. I was very close to my mother's friends and enjoyed them always. I found my mother and her friends had an endless array of information and they were always willing to share. These were smart, educated, successful or their husbands were, with it girls. We had great times together. Spanning two generations and explaining to each other the need for change and acceptance of new issues and lifestyles. Amazing women. Unusual and unique that a mother and daughter should spend that much time and have that much fun together. Do you know why we always did? Trust. We always trusted each other and we understood what tragedies we had both suffered in life and yet never lost sight of or forgot to always remember the joy and fun also.

Balance in life is important; something many of our politicians seem to lack. They are either far left, far right or they sway with the crowd because the are cowards. Enough of this crap! Grow up and take responsibility for your decisions. Stop worrying about the next election, think about doing the job you were elected to do, or you won't have to run in the next election. I am not using names, they all know who they are and so do the voters.

Besides all the normal pain and suffering people experience in the course of a life, we managed to include and experience many of the traumas that happen to all the other people. We shared many of those family crises or events that one after another are supposed to happen in all the other families, not your own. Teenage pregnancy, rape, suicide, extraordinary illnesses, divorce, just to mention a few issues that are close to my heart and visited my home.

On February 1, 2009 my life as I knew it ended. This happened very unexpectedly at 4:20 pm. I never did see the Super Bowl. In my lifetime I always felt that one day I would understand the reason why my life was on a very different course than everyone else I knew. I truly believe I have finally been blessed with my answer. I have been chosen to help deliver some questions or even answers which the country and possibly the world might need to hear.

Do you feel bad for me? Don’t. I am used to starting over. On September 26, 1996 my life as I knew it and was living it ended. This also happened very unexpectedly at about 10:45am.

The list just keeps going!

EACH TIME I JUST START OVER AGAIN

~ I HAVE DONE THIS MANY TIMES! ~

ONE OF THE REASONS I AM AN UNOFFICIAL AUTHORITY ON LIFE !
