Up Today...

This last week has been very trying. Not only physically but mentally as well. It has pushed us to the extremes, which has brought us closer together. Bringing out the beauty in all our lives...

So with all this going on, what a great excuse for a party so we played poker and had a blast. Not sure, what kind of cards were being shuffled underneath the big hats :).

We had many laughs and allows me, as well as others, to forget and be as normal as possible.

Peace Love T

Your Choice...

Was talking to a friend and the question came up, what one piece of advice could I give him from this journey?

To answer the question with just one idea is very difficult but the one I choose is: We all have the ability to control how we react to any and everything...

It would be easy for me to be angry, to be bitter, to be jealous, and to be in despair. However, I choose to love, to laugh, to live, and to inspire...

Today, I am a total quadriplegic with virtually no movement (take that back...I can chew). The crazy thing is if I went to a doctor for him to evaluate my lungs and diaphragm he would say, "dude, how are you still here!" Well maybe they wouldn't have said dude but it's my words.

On a weekly basis my family basically keeps me breathing so that we can enjoy our love for each other in small peaceful moments.

Thinking about this, the next time you have a bad day remember me and understand how you react - is your choice...

Peace/Love

Beauty...

In our world, we see tragedy...
In our world, we see evil...
In our world, there is beauty...

There is beauty, in the smile of a child...
There is beauty, as a butterfly flutters past...
There is beauty, in the bright white clouds floating in the sky...
There is beauty, on the lines of an old mans face...
There is beauty, from a silky smooth pedal of a flower...

In our world, with an open mind...
In our world, all around us we find - beauty...

Peace love T

Forgive...

Forgiveness... A powerful word...

If we can forgive others as well as forgive ourselves, our lives will have greater meaning...

May we all find forgiveness in our hearts and souls...

Peace, Love, T
