THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY NOV 4, 2014..
  Today should be a day of respecting one another as human beings. We are not perfect and we are affected by emotions, stress , past history , future fears.. Its what makes us human, But one thing is clear , your family should come first no matter what. 
 Your family health , your family's future.. Should be number one.. I know having kids, its a tough road, everyone lives a different path , no mater what ,, What worked for you, does nit make it work for others. But a wise person takes different perspective's into account. But a true parent makes the best choices for their family. like education, morals values, comes first over , pride , over ego , over attention grabbing moments. 
 I teach my kids to do the right thing and be mindful, what you do affects not only you but your parents, but we all know peer pressure is a bitch. so to speak, by hopefully , my many times of lecturing and reminding them that to be good takes alot of work.  As a parent , I have dealt with teen emotions, arguments , difference of opinions, but that's part of growing up. We cant expect our kids to behave properly all the time.. Heck  i know adults that don't behave properly , so why would I think my kids would. But having them understand what their actions does to their perception and image, is what I remind them of,, when dealing with social media, internet or even texting. Words are powerful instrument when one use it, but having a responsible and proper outlook on life , is what I preach ad teach to my kids and family. Because whether we like it or not,, Its a politically correct society, and what one hears or sees in ones behaviour can change what people think of you. In regards to the events in news or life. I want just want my kids to be aware of their surroundings and be mindful of peoples rights as human beings. We all have different points of view about money, about raising kids , or living life. What I want my kids to understand is, be your own person, don't be caught up with stereotypes and don't be a follower just to be liked. Be a individual with common sense and responsible behaviour and control one emotions. For those that do that m they are better suited to deal with life's troubles.. or events. I teach my kids to be in control of their emotions and thoughts and be mindful of what you say or do. Don't say something or do something , just for attention. Let your actions speak louder than your words and be a productive citizen , instead of a disruptive one. Its one thing to be opinionated, and strong, its another to be stubborn and attentive grabbing.. In life , a true leader leads by example and doesn't contradict one self. In regards to life, I like to stand my ground regarding issues, but I also respect those that have differing ideas and thoughts. Its a true American way of thinking. We are never going to be in full agreement , but by having respect for the laws of the land and the moral values of mankind. Everyone can succeed and achieve what they want our of life. No one ever told me life would be easy and its not. But having a clear perspective and what is your goal and aspirations , can lead you to the path of success. Its the ones that let emotions, jealousy and ego that hinder people from achieving their goals. Nothing great in life just happened. It takes hard work, patience and belief in what your doing no matter what the nay sayers and losers in life. But standing your ground and doing what makes you happy , it the best advice you can give anyone.. in life.. Because life is a moment in time and it goes by so fast. I found that enjoying every moment , every crisis , every disappointment is all part of life , we live , we learn, we cry , we laugh , we live and ultimately we die,, But if you stay true to your beliefs and live life as you want it..Then you should not regret anything n life.. I always say to my kids.. I never regret anything I did,, good or bad,, instead I regret anything I didn't do !! IN MY LIFE , some of the greatest lessons have come from failures and defeats.. Its humbles you and makes you feel alive. 
 My final thought is this.. Live your live on your own terms and be happy with what you have and love your family always... We have family and we love them unconditionally , regardless if they are too loud, too pushy, annoying , etc.. Its family,, we need to deal with it.. Because everyone has the loud and proud uncle , or that attentive grabbing aunt or the provocative dressing niece or nephew.. Its all all a part of life.. Its makes family parties exciting and new.. I know ,, nothing in life is perfect and simple,.. if you think it is. Your living in a dream world. Life will always be full of trial and tribulations.. Its the ones that accept it and go with it,, are the ones that will be able to handle life.. 
The ones that cant handle the stresses of life.. are the ones complaining, whining , killing each other ,, with their hatred.. Be happy and smile and spread it to others.. Because in this world so full of negativity , its refreshing to see people express happiness and good will to one another!! These are my thoughts for today.. Just think about being happy,, because you never know what life may have for you good or bad.. I rather smile and be happy then sad and depressed. Just my thoughts.. I hope you agree!
