This music moves me, it resounds within me. I do not know why, only a few do so. Hmmm, I wonder if I can find The good, the bad and the ugly theme's on youtube. THEY moved me too in the late 70's... If I find those, I will post later...

Oh my Goodness, this took me way way back and I STILL love it.

Move with me people...

Funny, I keep saying, I shouldn't have started looking... Last one I hope...

Nope, couldn't stop, looked for all my favorites, here is another one.

Lord, I am in heaven here on earth, right here in my little old room. I thank you for giving me this day... to listen too these once more... Sorry, I think I mentioned that these move me... heart and soul.

Many of these were added too, "tags" and shared on face book. If I like them I wrote them down. NONE of them had an author to them, I know someone out there wrote them. If you know who, let me know. I will add their names, beneath the saying, in order too give them credit.

-----------------

Before you judge my life or my character ... Walk in my shoes, walk the path I have traveled, live my sorrow, my doubts, my fear, my pain, my laughter ...!!! And then you can judge me! Remember, Judge not lest ye be judged. Words said without thought only cause pain, where kindness goes a long way. Everyone has their own story.

-----------------

Did you know that the people that seem the strongest are usually the most sensitive?~Did you know that the people who exhibit the most kindness are usually the first to get mistreated? ~Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones that need it the most? ~ Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are: I love you, I'm sorry and Help me?

-----------------

Don't rush thru life. Don't take the ones who love you for granted. One day you will come to the end of your race and realize the moments you lost forever. Make each day count and let those you love know you love them.

-----------------

This is for all the strong people,who have made it through so much in life: I am strong because I have been brought to my knees in weakness during my life. I'm compassionate because I have known suffering. I am alive because I am full of passion and a fighter. I am wise because I've been fooled many times. And I can laugh because I have known sadness and sadness did not win.

-----------------

One person can not carry everything on their shoulders alone.Maybe you've put yourself in that place or others have put you there. Either way it will break you down eventually. It may look like your holding it all together on the outside when your falling apart on the inside.While taking care of everyone else you might loose yourself. Needing help doesn't mean your helpless just means your human.

-----------------

Forgiveness is NOT forgetting. They say "forgive & forget." However, true & genuine forgiveness happens while the wounds inflicted upon us by those we choose to forgive are still painful & unforgettable. Forgiveness does not turn back the clock & undo the damage or erase the scars. On the contrary true forgiveness is a conscious choice we make to live with permanent scars that will continually remind us of what they did to us, but choosing not to hold it against them.

-----------------

There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven and spend the day with them just one more time. Give them one more hug, kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again. One more chance to say "I Love You".

-----------------

It's not enough to dream big & imagine great things. Everyone created mind does that. Turning dreams into reality requires; burning desire to stir you into action; boldness to face massive obstacles; unshakable & fearless faith to take risks; willingness to do whatever it takes & believing that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.” Phil 4:13.

Sandra Scotland shared this with me. NICE one I had forgotten. Thanks Sandra.

Footprints In The Sand

One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

Summer Time Energy saver tip.

Landscaping:

Plant fast or slow growing shade trees around your home, Close to windows and high enough to go over roofs, it is 5% cooler under a shade tree then otherwise, which can reduce your homes cooling costs considerably. Depending on the number of trees that you plant around your landscape

Fast growing trees do not live as long nor are they as strong as slow growing trees, so decide what type of tree you will need by your region. Northern states or countries can use fast growing trees, Southern states should build slower growing trees, they survive better in the heat.

************************************************

Windows and other house openings:

Warm-Climate Window Tips

Install white window shades, drapes, or blinds to reflect heat away from the house.

Close curtains on south- and west-facing windows during the day.

Install awnings on south- and west-facing windows.

Apply sun-control or other reflective films on south-facing windows to reduce solar gain.

$ Long-Term Savings Tip: Installing new, high-performance windows will improve your home's energy performance. While it may take many years for new windows to pay off in energy savings, the benefits of added comfort and improved aesthetics and functionality may make the investment worth it to you. Today, many new window technologies are available that are worth considering. Glazing materials (the glass part of the window) now come with a variety of selective coatings and other features; frames are available in aluminum, wood, vinyl, fiber glass, or combinations of these materials. Each type of glazing material and frame has advantages and disadvantages.

Save energy, by sealing off door openings with weather striping, chalking windows and cracks.

By letting hot air from outside in and letting cool air from inside get out... Air leaks could account for as much as 30 percent of your energy bill.

You'll notice that different chat communities can develop different 'dialects' or accents. If you see an acronym or smiley used, you can figure it's pretty safe to use it yourself. If you use acronyms and the majority of people in the room don't seem to understand, it's probably not something commonly used in that community.

Some chats on AOL use protocol. That means that rather than having an open chat where everyone talks at once, a host leads the chat. If you have a question, you type

?

If you have a comment, you use

!

Then you wait for the host to acknowledge you. It's also common to send a

/ga

For "go ahead" into the room indicating that you've finished with your question or comment.

The Drunk

A drunk gets up from the bar and heads for the bathroom. A few minutes later, a loud, blood-curdling scream is heard coming from the bathroom. A few minutes after that, another loud scream reverberates through the bar. The bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is screaming. "What's all the screaming about in there?" he yells. "You're scaring my customers!" "I'm just sitting here on the toilet," slurs the drunk, "and every time I try to flush, something comes up and squeezes the hell out of my private parts." The bartender opens the door, looks in, and says, "You idiot! You're sitting on the mop bucket!"

Running Away

I found myself running again, running from

something inside me... running from life’s

problems. seeking my sanity and peace once

again, so I went and spoke to my loving

father, where I have always done so, the

ocean where he died. It is where I go, to

calm my soul, to see the sun rising on the

horizon, reflecting, on the waters surface.

To see the sea gulls flying high in the sky,

sandpipers pecking for food, and crabs

crawling into their home. oh and the

dolphins so beautiful to see from the peer,

To open my soul to the heavens, and cry my

pain and loneliness away. It is the one

place, in the world, that reminds me

continuously that yes...life is beautiful.

though my problems still exists, though I

still feel alone in the world... I am at

peace once again, until the next time I am

running away.

The Ocean's Reflection

Such vast glorious beauty. where the horizon meets the waters edge, and the sun reflects back to the unlimited sky. this is the place, the place where my roots must energize, where I draw strength from Gods glory.

This is what enlivens my soul and brings peace to my mind. Even as I close my eyes refusing to see such beauty in my pain, my pain of loss and betrayal, a betrayal of the heart so deep when I spoke true, when my body and heart were pure as my mind was not.

This, this is where I have come to reflect on my life with a wish and a desire for no more pain, for the wisdom and strength to let go, of what is no longer.

For if after so long I am not known, the real me, heart, body, mind and soul, then... it IS time to let go.

Here, is where you will remain along side my father, my deep love for you buried on the ocean floor, in order to set you free, without a fight, without a whimper, my one desire to give you your wish to be free of me and see you happy once more.

Yes even with my eyes closed to such beauty, I know it is there, for I can hear it's strength dulling the sound of my sorrow, when the waves pound the shore, I can hear the sea gull's cry in such joy and freedom, I can feel the cold wind blow my hair bringing the ocean's fragrance that still's my fear of the unknown, giving me the strength that I have been searching for.

As the red haze leaves my closed eyes, I can see the ocean's reflection, rise up in its stead, yes God is good for he has given me a safe haven, a place to come when I am in pain, A place to come when I am dying to share a joy, a place to draw strength and peace from. The one place I feel HIM close about me, filling my soul, healing the sorrow and sharing the joy of my return.

All in The Ocean's Reflection

A Patriots Love

As we stare at the horror, of what others have done
We cry tears of sorrow, and heartache for those who are gone.
Twin towers may fall, but a love so strong unites the land and a need
to give a helping hand is born, to love, care and share all that we are, with our brothers torn.

Seeing the ocean rise in fury, we raise our arms in prayer for our brothers
across the land. Loads of clothing, food medicine, and a helping hand, from praise worthy
individuals who sing our National Anthem.

The ocean's a whirl. The wind's and water's twirl. finally hitting and
filling our land with misery and death. Our People mourning, at that last breath.
We once again lift our hearts and hands in sorrow, and the need for
a better tomorrow. With our hearts full of regret, we will spend time,
effort and sweat, rebuilding our land, and giving a helping hand, food,
clothing, money and love comes from a united land, that will work until
the land succumbs to our loving hand.

We are a united people, people who have come from

different lands, to a place that cherishes freedom, a freedom we fight for and die for.

A freedom we share and try to teach our fellow man.

A freedom that allows us to give of ourselves unselfishly. When needs across our world

arise, we are there, we give unto you, with the open arms and hearts of...

The American people!

I love my Country and I am proud to be American!

Poem Copyright:copyright:2006/2011Sandra Moore

Along my way, I see the beauty of the earth,

purple flowers small and lovely, smelling so

sweetly along with green shoots of grass,

waving in the breeze, wooden grains aging,

crinkling and cracking on a tall beautiful

live tree. Do you see what I see? Along my

way, I hear birds chirping a delightful song.

The sound usurping, all others as they come

home to roost in a throng, before their day is

done, induced by the setting sun. Do you hear

what I hear? Along my way, I feel the tender

touch of a butterfly wing brushing my hand,

as I look down, I see that purple flower

close at hand, its sweetness the butterfly

demands, I touch the tender petals with a

gentle loving hand. Do you feel, what I feel?

Along my way, smells assault me, cooking fires

from the outdoors, cooking meat I could just

taste, to burning screeching tires that cannot

be ignored. Along my way, with all five senses to explore.

A Winsome Star

A winsome star in the night

sky draws my eye, and my

thoughts are of you, how I

wish you were here to share

the night by my side, to see a

winsome star in the night sky.

In my minds eye, are visions

untold, of peace, harmony,

love, joy and pride. So much so

A winsome star in the night sky,

pulls a dearly beloved wish to

have you by my side to share

in the glory of a winsome star

in the night sky.
