The Love we have for you Grandad will never fade away,
We'll think of you our special friend through each passing day.
When we walk into the room and see your empty chair,
Although we know you are resting we still feel your presence there.
The memories of your laughter, your warm and loving smile,
Your eyes so full happiness, your heart that of a child.
Memories are forever be they laughter or of tears,
Memories we will treasure through all our passing years.
You should know they are ones ill keep forever. 


You left this world today grandad and  in your last breath..you looked straight up to the heavens and 
and never turned back! It is so touching to hear your last words were "wow" It gives me hope of a place better than here. I know now that you are up in heaven driving your truck and hangin with Jesus. I just want you to know that I will NEVER forget you and you hold a special place in my heart. I love you Pa and say hi to my other grandad for me. Rest in peace Robert Ewing Leach.

Liking myself...

Ten things i like about myself....welll this is a challenge because it is alot easier to list the things I dont like.
I love to make people laugh so I always try to have a smile.
My goofiness tends to brighten peoples day...
I have good morals
I am a responsible person
I always strive to be the best I can
I am generally a nice and considerate person

Finding things to like about myself would be alot easier if I had more things to like....

Love Vs. Hate

Love and hate are sometimes described as the two most powerful forces in the world. .Love is not stronger than hate, neither is hate stronger than love. The strength of these emotions are as strong as the will of the person carrying them. It is God's law is to love thy neighbor. I don't really consider any of my emotions to go to the extreme as to say that I hate someone. And yet...it is so easy to say that you love someone. These two phrases are used so much, but how do we know if they are sincerer? 

Crticism

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. that way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes."

-I have to learn to take the good with the bad. I learned that today at practice. Having an off day at practice is not something I am used to. As a senior I shouldn't be making the mistakes I am. Its hard to set an example, but i guess that is what good leadership is all about. Learning to take criticism as a good thing is really difficult. It is all about optimism. I know I am in no place to criticize others.

Just breathe...

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen." Leonardo Da Vinci

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

No!

Negatory...
Thats a big negative...
Not gonna happen...
Lets not and say we did...
How about never...
Not in a million years...
Yea when pigs fly ...
I just can't...
Nows not a good time...
id love to but..
yea...ill get back to you...
umm not now...
ill keep that in mind...
yea....ill just say NO!

Love reamains

I shut the world away from here
drift to you, you're all I hear
Everything we know fades to black
Half the time the world is ending, truth is I am done pretending

I never thought that I
Had any more to give. Pushing me so far and yet here I am with out you.
Drink to all that we have lost, mistakes we have made. Everything will change
But love remains the same.

So much more to say...So much to be done.
Dont you trick me out we shall overcome. Cause' our love stays ablaze.
But we should have had the sun
Could've been inside
Instead we're over here.

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending. Too much time, too long defending.
You and I are done pretending.

Everything will change...I wish this could last forever
as if we could last forever...Love remains the same.
