Life can be so much fun; it is all in the way you take it! Grab it by the horns and hold on for with me you will have the ride of your life, or maybe just a cruise...lol. So...The choice is yours… as....
Each day, millions of people go to work only because they have to. They go through the motions of performing tasks they literally hate. Not only are they miserable, but they are less than productive. Why do they repeat the routine day in and day out? Because they’ve allowed circumstances to stick them into a slot where they’ll remain until they experience a change in attitude or until they pass away. They’ve allowed others to set goals for them. They’ve fallen into the trap of conformity which destroys a person’s initiative and independence, and suppresses their powerful inner drive for self-fulfillment and satisfaction.
While there are some things about our past that we cannot change, such as our physical attributes, our parents, and events that have molded us thus far, our future is ours to create. You cannot change from where you have come, but you can direct where you go. You cannot always control what happens to you in life. You can always control how you react to what happens. Do you have the courage to become the kind of person you want to become? Myself i am redesigning my out look onlife my core if you will and a little work on the cosmetic side, no not a chin job! lol

"I've Got Your Back!"
I am a small and precious child, my dads been sent to fight...
The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud.
My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war...
My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.
Every day I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I am proud.
My son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband who had to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack...
My heart may break, but I am proud.
My husband's got your back...
I am a soldier... Serving Proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home.
It's me who's got your back.
