Pathway of Life

I just wanted to let those who have visited my blog previously and for those of course that have not that I’ve added more pages to this area.  I know have updated the ‘Photo Albums’ page which has two sub-pages called Our Children and Our Grandchildren; also I made a new main page for my ‘Guestbook’.

I hope that you will stop by and take a browse.

What is wrong with the us?  I’ve asked myself this same question hundreds upon hundreds of times.  Every where one looks there seems to be unrest, unhappiness, anger etc…

I may sound naive to the majority but I do find it mind boggling that there are so many people who can be so unpleasant or harmful to another being or beings just because we have differences.  Truthfully is it really such a disastrous thing to be different?  I think not!

I know that we can’t prevent the on set of natural disasters from occurring but it would be a nice thought  that each one of us are willing to try to prevent the man made situations that reak havoc and chaos.

I don’t know if I’m being ridiculous to think  and believe that if more of us globally would try to see that we do have the power within us to make life better, even though it may be a long drawn out process.

Humans do have the ability of knowing right from wrong therefore to decide to choose good over bad seems to be the favorable choice.  Therefore if this is so shouldn’t the individually take the time to give a bit more thought on how they should react, for seeing how their actions may bring upon self and others the negative consequenses of others through their carelessness.

To me the differences between all of us is wonderful as long as they are not harmful or abusive to someone.  It would be quite tedious and boring if we all did everything the same way as one another, there would not be reason to gather together to chat about happenings at home or work - as we would be doing everything identical.  Differences make up the being of who we are, it is our own personal make-up, our individuality.

I do prefer variation without a doubt - I like who I am and I try never to judge a person by race and religion and so on.

We are all unique in our own individual way but we also are the same in many other ways,  Is it so bad that we are different?  I personally don’t think so!  I love history, cultures and the sharing and learning to understand that of religions different from my own.  Life is so fascinating and I just love it!

By gosh now I’ve got that old 70s tune running through my head by a former pop group known as the ‘New Seekers’ called “I’d like to teach the World to sing in perfect harmony…” 

Friday has finally rolled around and all I say right now is “thank you God” for the end of the work week to be here for me at the end of today.

On Tuesday my sinuses started acting up which I decided was due to my allergies but as the week has progressed I feel that I possibly could be wrong but, I am doing my best to use the ‘mind over matter’ approach.

For as long as I can remember Sundays has always been dedicated to family and as we all got older we would try and visit one another sometimes there were occasions when a couple of close family friends who were excepted as complimentary family member would join us.

So, I find myself excited about this weekend and I’m especially looking forward to this Sunday as our growing family has much to be thankful for.  We’ll be celebrating my son’s 18th birthday which is now shared with his youngest boy since we couldn’t do it last weekend.  Also, it is Mothers Day here in the USA and besides me being Mum, there is my eldest daughter who is a mother of three wonderful little girls and my daughter in law who now has two wonderful little boys of which one is just seven days old.  God has certainly blessed us in many wonderful ways.

My husband and I will not be celebrating with our mothers but we most definately will put a call in to them both.  My mother lives in N. Ireland and my husband’s lives in England; they do not celebrate ‘Mothers Day’ in May, it has always been ‘Mothering Sunday’ which falls on the third Sunday in March.  This is the one as children that we always celebrated as did our older children did until we moved to the United States.

The weather is warming up nicely today, a touch of humidity is present but it’s not too bad.  I’m sure that it is just a small indication of what we can expect in coming summer months.  The start to our season of hurricanes is only three weeks away and I’ve a feeling that this may be a summer that most of us will remember.
