Remembered @ MindSay 
Not everyone is going to remember your birthday. However, there are certain people that are important to you that you expect to remember. It's strange how that worked out on my own recent birthday. The people I didn't expect to remember (much less know) did, and some I expected to remember didn't. A friend of mine who made me promise to remember his (which I did) last month still has completely forgotten me. Two of my very own relatives (whom I'm very close to) were going to take me to see Spiderman 3 since it came out on my birthday. They still have completely forgotten me as well.
I wanted to see Spiderman 3 so I tried to get the family together but, for one reason or another, we didn't get to. Then, I tried to go with a friend from school but they had already seen it the night before. At that point, I realized that I didn't want to see it with anyone at all, and suddenly I wanted to be alone. So, I said, "Forget this!" and went to see it today by myself. Boy was it good too! Spiderman 3 rocks! I feel better now...
So I bid my great aunt adieu today.....where ever she may be, i'm sure that she is much better off....
It was definitely a very difficult time for my uncle, whom I really don't get along that well with...he's sort of (for lack of better words) an asshole.....until today I never really understood how those two ever stayed married for 56 years.....that's an amazement to me...her entire family seemed truly sympathetic with one another and the day was filled with not only tears, but commiseration and laughs.....
the wake was absolutley beautiful....they had a slide show of photographs and memories....and I saw some photographs of myself and my aunt and grandmother I never even knew existed...and yes I cried....i'm not ashamed to say that....she was a beautiful and caring woman, both of them my grandmother also and I will miss them always....
but time will pass and things will move on....but never be forgotten.
Hello! Nice to start a new blog and wonder just wonder how many are really looking at this and who will respond. Yep it is fascinating to justsit here and think about the past and wonder why do we rememebr things we have ben through and yet if in class cannot remember anything .
Remember when I was a kid and how life was tough. Tough was not the rel word it was ure hell and my mom gave very little help in helping me deal with this. I hate dthe thought of beingin her domain but what can a 9 yr kid undertake but to live and let her rule the roost. She was a so so person but nothing to really brag about and why complain after s many eyars of keeping it in. Yes kept so much in and yet feel dso bad that life for me was really hell.
Hell was no real answer but that was then and today is today. Now I am much older much wiser and yet still hve so many memories.How much do we remember but yet why do we seem to remember some things and not others. Then why is it possible to remember and not.
So doing a blog is new to me and new to me as what should be said and who will really read this let alone who will of course possibly answer. It will be nice to find out.
Why should we remember the bad but not always great? Why do U\I have to suffer why my siblings madeit or are well off? Remember me was asked several times as I worked in Taiwan. Now work in China teachingEnglish and love it really. Love thepeople and love what I do but wonder why I do it. Yep it is nice really. Much less being able to do what I do and yet Do I likeit. Yep. Yes I do and well why not really. Then again why do I stillhave this nagging feelingof remembering? I do and I do not but well who cares?
Remember one thing and it happened to me last Nov. I had to under go some majr surgery here in China. I was all alone and scared as hell but no one would give a damn really. No one will come in and hold my hand but then I did not expect many to do so as well. It was scay knowing thatI was in a foreign land under going some surgery but scared. Scared thinking here i am all alone and yet no one was withme. I was thinkingwhy am I all alone and no one here. I was scared but who did care at all. No one did. Why was I so scared? Well maybe because it was Iwas here and no family there with me, I was scared because I was all alone and no one really cared. No one. Remember this and thought well yep this is life and just have to deal withit as best that I can.
In an effort to find the right road, I forgot to look at the map.
In an effort to fix a quick meal, I refused to look at a recipe.
In an effort to save my energy, I declined all invitations.
In an effort to please others, I lost myself.
In my effort to teach my children the important lessons of life,
I remembered to teach them how imperfect we all are.
In my effort to succeed, and build a sound kingdom,
I remembered to build on a foundation of compassion.
In my effort to find myself and feel some sense of accomplishment,
I remembered the focus is not what I receive, but what I give.
In my effort to relax and find an easier road,
I realized how much I appreciate hard work and it's rewards.
By the way D (dustyboy2006 ) thanks for the comment....nice to know how im remembered LOL!
