Hello Every one i just thought id share a something that i did today. my girlfriend is a helper in the special Olympics in our area and today they went bowling since she wasn't sure where it was i drove. When we got to the place i brought a magazine to read while i waited for her but i never got to open it. i met a few of the team and some of the stories of what happened to them. one in mind is a guy name john. Very bright man and wealthy then he had a stroke. His life changed now he has short term memory loss . I helped john today letting him know when it was his turn even tho it was a little thing for me to do this i thought of me being in his shoes. and john is just one of many so my deed for the week all tho small and the small stuff opens your eyes to others that are less fortunate. what did you do that changed your life this week??

I guess you never know what the day will bring... Once I realized you can't change history I just stopped being in a bad mood ever. Why be unhappy with certain aspects of your life if you can be happy about other, nice aspects of your life. I still live with my mom and sometimes she pulls together a really quick lunch, and she says that she hopes it's good and enough, and I say whatever kind of meal she makes, I couldn't be happier.

And in the more unfortunate times I just remember something from the past or what i look forward to in the future, and I'm happy again. Or I go meditate for 10 minutes, it brings a smile on my face :)

Well, too bad John has such a problem, but if you look on the bright side, he made your day :) And maybe you're not the only one.

This week I helped a parshaly sighted older lady, pick out the kitchen she would like... In our show room all though the light is nice and bright I asked her if there was anything I could do that would make things easier for her.. And she asked me to take some bits out side for her because she finds it easier to see things in natural day light rather than from a light bulb.

Although that was a small thing it was something that made her day easier rather than struggling on. And because I didn't put it across, like she HAD to be helped because off the disablitlty, I asked if there could be something I can do to make things any easier the lady thanked me and she left smiling aswell as me smiling...

This got me thinking why on earth do people have to go around, being nasty to one and other and just making general living uneasy for people?

I'm not saying everyone should get along and not argue or anything, Just why can't people be civial to one and other and just respect other peoples opition, It takes a man to say OK I might not think what you think but OK i erspect that and lets live life where we can pass on the street and be able to just walk by and say morning.... instead off there being fights or a fear off walking past somewhere where you think someone who disaproves off what you think, could be hiding waiting for you....

Thinking about all that made me realise how great it feels to be a counselor on this shard! Everyone on here are really nice to each other and respect each others option, and that makes me so proud to be able to say yea I'm staff here.

And for that I want to be able to say Thank You to everyone playing here, We all go through hard times in life, I myself at this point am having big problems... But when I log on everyone here is there and happy and good to chat with.

We don't have to mention our problems, we can come on to Excelsior and forget the world and play, be happy and to put a smile onto our faces!

Once again Thank You to everyone for making life bareable :D
