AUGUST 1, 2010 - CHASING RAINBOWS BY GINGER ESLER

Good Morning,

This week's post comes to us from a wonderful woman who recently passed away. My wife was reading the paper and came across this article and thought it would be of interest to my readers. As usual she was so correct, I guess that is my we have lasted these past 25 years.

CHASING RAINBOWS

I believe it takes a long time to become the person you want to be, so don't be in such a hurry, it will come to you,, I promise.

I believe you can keep going long after you think you can't. You are all you believe, if you think you can you can, if you think you can't, well you get the picture.

I believe that either you control your attitude or it will control you. You may not always have a say in where you are on your life's journey, but you sure as heck control how you will deal with it.

I believe that our heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done regardless of circumstances. Heroism is not a convenience of conscience, it is not an absence of fear, rather a decision to act regardless of the consequences and in the face of the very fear that would in other times would immobilize you.

I believe that money and materialism is a lousy way to keep score. If you are what you have, then if you don't you are not. Makes no sense!

I believe that sometimes the vary people you expect to slap you when you are down, will be the ones to lend you a hand to get you back up.

I believe that no matter how badly broken your heart is, the world does not stop to help you in your grief. What the universe does do is help you heal and in so doing reminds you that though your heart may be broken, doesn't mean you are broke.

I believe that the background and circumstances may have influenced who you are, but do not have to define you and in so doing allow you to become responsible for who you are and what you become.

I believe that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out, you find the strength to help.

I believe that credentials on a wall do not make you a decent human being. It is the credentials on your soul that define what you are as a human being.

Thank you Ginger Esler, and may you find peace and joy.

Be well, and have a joyful week,

Robb
