My friends say I'm a GoofyAzz, But seriously I can be a great Friend,Good Lover, Buttttttt never a Husband Again......I've been down that road too many times.........now your wondering what is too many? Guess you'll have ask Me huh!!
Only take what you need as forward you travel,
Don't weigh yourself down with the woes of the past,
Decide that your heart will have room to be happy,
With space for good memories, ones that will last.
Don't let past misfortunes stifle your dreaming,
And stop you from reaching as high as you can,
But use them as stepping stones to your life's purpose,
The journey you started when your life began.
Let the lessons you learn add depth to your living,
Begin to reach out to all those passing by,
A smile given lovingly could be a blessing,
And help someone give something just one more try.
Reach out through your own pain to someone in crisis,
By touching a hand you are touching a heart,
You might never know just how your intervention
Enabled another to make a new start.
So when someone says they can never repay you,
For all you have said, or for all you have done,
Just quietly say there's one way this can happen,
Through sharing a blessing by passing it on.
Dearest Wayne for this;
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, COMMON SENSE,
Message: Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, COMMON SENSE, who
has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was,
since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He
will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the
worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children,
are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended
from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the
job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly
children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could
not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;
and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a
burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in
her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by
his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son,
Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and
