No 1 (and only)

Life is good each and every day of my life. My family, my friends and God................Life is good. No need to dissect it, when it comes down to it every day of my life is good and there are many people in this world that would love to live my life even if for one day. I "try" hard not to complain and remember all those not as lucky as me on a daily basis.


P.S. Everyone's entries are so awesome, you all deserve a win!

These posts are just great..

I've been reading the posts as soon as they've been posted (can't like posts on tapatalk.. which is why there's the delay )

Today.. my "Life is Good" moment came driving through the back roads.. with a MANUAL transmission.

I know one day they wont have them (wouldn't mind an upgrade to.. say.. an enterprise) but for now.. double clutching and rowing gears is poetry in motion.

Have an amazing weekend everyone..

And last but by no means least, my lovely wife! When life feels like it is beating up on me and I think one more straw will break my back I only have to think of her, text her or look at her smiling face to know that I have everything I could want and need to make it through.

All of my children make me happy!
This is my youngest daughter Winnie. She stays at home more than the rest of my kids! She never talks back, has any issues and is always ready to do whatever I want to do. Her fur is like silk and she thinks she is a baby. I only wish she could brush her own hair!

#1. My son got into drugs and and alcohol. He became a full out addict at 18. My baby boy....I had to let him go.
He has recently, through hell and back....found a sober house with 20 other addicts. He is now 19 and he has worked on his recovery through the 12 steps.
After writing for 6 hours a day for 30 days he has a conscious contact with God.
He is now acting and making a mends with the people he has stolen from, and hurt in the past year.

By his actions and being committed to working the 12 steps program of AA he has tough me more about giving back than I ever realized possible.
As a mother that loves her son I now know the healing powers of being honest with myself and being the best person I can be.

I thought it was the other way around. That your kids learn by example of there parents...but I realized through all my pain and suffering because he was in so much pain at such a young age, he has taught me the true meaning of love.

Congratulations on your son's sobriety. May he continue on his path one day at a time.

Entry #3


I work in Hospice.
I care for people at the end of their lives.

I have friends who ask me, 'How can you do that?' and 'Isn't it depressing?'

I answer, 'No, no, it's not depressing at all. It's life-affirming.'

We are all going to die.
It's true - shocking to you, I know.

But when the end comes, with Hospice care,
you don't have to die alone.
You don't have to die in pain.
You don't have to suffer quietly without solace.

Even if I can do no more for you than hold your hand and be present for you, I will do that.

I am so blessed to be able to be a part of so many lives even if only for a short time.

My work reminds me to be grateful for every day.

Both of my parents passed peacefully in hospice care. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You must be a very special person. God Bless you!

Life is good and my fellow man/woman is good!

My dad had a quadruple bypass and stints in 2007 and was put on several medications. By summer of 2008 his Dr. felt that his condition had improved to the point that his medication dose could be lowered and he could snorkle, not scuba dive but snorkling was better then nothing. So in August of 2008 they took their annual trip to Kona, HI and they were able to snorkle at their favorite spot, Two Steps. Once my Dad got in the water he got a weird cramp and was very concerned, he told my Mom he was scared. It passed and he said he was ok but then he immediately went limp. My Mom screamed for help and a boat with a couple of retired Navy Men came to her aid. They helped her pull Dad out of the water and they quickly got him to shore and were performing CPR and Chest Compressions the entire time. The paramedics came and took him to the hopital. The Navy Men insisted on following my Mom to the hospital. Once at the hospital a local minister and his wife came to the hospital to sit with my Mom. The Dr. told her that my Dad had suffered a massive heart attack and that his brain had been without oxygen for so long he would be brain dead. There was a very small chance he would live when taken off of life support and if he did he would be brain dead. My Mom was in Hawaii alone with her dying husband. Thankfully the Navy Men and Minister and his Wife stayed with her. She had us fax over Dad's DNR - Do Not Recessitate order. My older sister left immediately to join my Mom in Hawaii and we tried to convince Mom to wait until someone was there with her to unplug my Dad from life support but she did not want him to be kept alive against his wishes when he was brain dead and she found the strength and support through caring strangers to have him unplugged. The Minister and his wife drove my Mom to the place Dad and her had been staying, she collected her stuff and they paid for her to stay at another hotel for the remainder of her stay as it was too painful to return to there room. I did not have the money to get to Hawaii but my older sister could only stay for one day and I wanted to be with my Mom. Not only did my work give me one week of bereavement, all my co-workers got together and gave me enough cash for a round trip ticket to Hawaii, food and expenses. I was able to be there with my Mom, to comfort her, to wait for my Dad's ashes and to bring him home. Although the loss of my Dad was and still is extremely painful, the compassion shown, the comfort given and the giving of time and money by strangers, loved ones and co-workers in this awful time was and always will be extremely moving.

I'm sorry for your loss!

My best friend of 22 years (give or take) called me one day to tell me she had a gift for me. She came up to my house and brought me my very first vaping starter kit, and juice. She takes my calls when I have a stupid question, and has continued to give me a lot of supplies. Half of what she wins in a contest she gives to me. I was a very heavy smoker, and she gave me the gift of life. She also introduced me to ECF, to help me have more support in quitting the stinkies. She's more than a friend, she's a sister of the heart.

What a great way to get to know one another. Thanks Vulcan!

Post #3 - Today, July 14th 2012, I have 11 months clean and sober! Best 11 months of my life so far!!! I am so very greatful for having such a loving family. I was such an ... 11 months ago. I hadnt talked to my parents in 5 or 6 months. I went out drinking August 12th 2011, had 10 to 12 mixed drinks, not really sure. I passed out, my best friend at the time called the ambulance. When they arrived I was still not responding. They had to put a tube down my throat because I quit breathing. My blood alcohol level was. 44 and I only weighed maybe 90 pounds at the time. My friend used my phone to call one of our friends to let them know how I was doing and by mistake he called my parents best friends daughter, who then called her dad, who then called my parents. When I woke up, my parents were at the hospital. I firmly believe that God orchestrated that all! If my parents werent "accidentally" notified, I dont know if I would be alive today because I was so caught up in my addiction that if I would have just went back to my apartment, I wouldnt have changed!
