James is back home

Well, well, well. How fast things can change. James is back home here in Virginia. Yeah I know, it happend pretty fast. I'm not going to get in to all the details, but he got home yesterday. His train trip lasted around 30 hrs. (4 hr layover in chicago). He got off he train in Staunton at 2:55 P.M. wednesday, ( 1hr. and 25 minutes late). So he's been back here now a little over 24 hrs. He said that he is really happy to be back home. I'm happy, (along with a lot of other people) that he is back. He was in Iowa around two and a half months.

Like I said, I'm not going in to all the details or point fingers at people or anything like that. That won't help anything. For the people that helped James when he was out in Iowa, thank you! For the people that turned their backs on James when he needed your help the most, I don't know how you can look at yourselfs in the mirror every day....but I guess you've got used to it.

Anyway, all a parent can do is love their kid and ALWAYS be there for them....and NEVER, EVER give up on them, especially during the tough times! That's when they need you the most!

Half empty, or half full??

Have you ever had ''one of those days'' thats seems to last, O' I don't know....ten years or so? Well, I have....

You look around and see some people that are always happy, have no worries, no pains, the suns always shining down on them....and you think to yourself, hmmmm, what pills are they taking?

For the rest of us we wake up in the morning with a backache and a stuffed up nose and think, ok, what's the first thing that's going to go wrong today. You get out of bed and trip over the cat, (that dosen't help your aching back any)....stumble to the kitchen, just to see there is no coffee in the coffee pot. All along the cat, (yeah, the one that hasn't been ''fixed'' yet) is meowing very loud and weird....witch I know will last a week or so. This will come back every month or so, until the cat is ''fixed''....lucky me. You look at the clock, and it ain't even 6 A.M. yet. Yeah...

Now don't get me wrong. I know there are always people in this World with problems worse then mine. Heck, by reading Facebook everyday, some people seem to gripe and complain over every little thing in life.

So, I guess what it really comes down to is '' do you see the glass half empty or....half full''? Some people will never be happy, no matter how good they have it....and some people will never complain, no matter how bad they have it. 

Yeah, so is it half empty, or half full??
