Change

It amazes me how many people are afraid of change. People my age (50) have seen many changes in our lifetime.

Records --->CD's

TV Consoles --->Flat Screen TV's

Pong --->Wii

Typewriters --->Computers

Adding Machines --->Calculators

3 TV Channels --->100's of Channels

Rotary Dial Phones --->Cell Phones

Books --->Kindle

Change has been apart of the humane race from the beginning! Now, Facebook has changed and everyone is in a panic! Really!

There are so many positives to change! Why are we so afraid of it. I think change scares us because it takes us out of our norm. However, if no changes are made to keep us at our "norm", many conveniences we have come to appreciate would not exist. So, before criticizing change, try it you may like it!

'night, Mother

I have read the play and have seen the movie a few times. Every time I watch this movie, it touches my heart. This movie looks at the emotional and the stressful results of an impending suicide. There are many facets to this story. You listen to the reasoning Sissy Spacek gives for ending her life. You listen and watch Anne Bancroft's response to this revelation. It is a heart wrenching movie to watch. I recommend this movie. I would give it 5 stars!

This movie shows how suicide devastates the people who love you. Watch this movie and let me know your thoughts.

Missing You!

When you don't have the chance to say goodbye to a loved one that has passed, it leaves a void in your heart.

I was adopted when I was about a year old. I met my biological mother when I was 15 years old. I started a relationship with her over the years. I truly loved her and needed her. She was the only person on earth that understood me. I am thankful for this. We did not stay in touch for about a decade. I reminded her of a bad time in her life when she lost me. She had trouble dealing with those emotions.

My biological mother passed away a couple of years ago. I didn't know she was sick and was in a nursing home. If I would have known, I would have made contact with her! Diabetes was the culprit taking her life. I also have diabetes and I have many of the symptoms she had in her later years. I wish I could have spoken with her during her last days. I would have told her I missed her and loved her. I feel guilty for not staying in touch. It was just so hard to call and hear her tone of voice. It made me feel unwanted! I know she loved me and missed me; however, she could not handle the past. I feel cheated not being able to say, "goodbye and I Miss You"!
