Life's Moments

I am amazed at how people with disabilities can find a way to beat the odds. It doesn’t matter if they have to be in a room on an exam table or in a field where they are exposed to the elements. They will do their best and pass everyone’s expectations of them. Amazing!

It makes me feel guilty that I may not be trying as hard as I possibly can because I know others think I am living a mediocre life. But I don’t know how else to push myself to try harder so maybe this is already my best.

Oh well… there are just times when I want to be more than what I am now.

My grandma had this old couch in her home that my siblings and I loved so much. It is still in her house and the grand-aunts are asking me to take it from them. I will get some p kaufmann fabrics and have the couch re-upholstered to my liking. I will then put it inside the bedroom where I can sit when I want to read inside.

Old stuff from the ancestral house is always welcome at home. And it’s one thing that I keep reminding not just my siblings but also my cousins that we should treasure. The old stuff inside the ancestral house form part of our family history.

Glenda not only has cheap morgan dollars in her safe but also a big portfolio of other types of investments. All are locked in the safe for her eyes only. She is using up 50% of her funds in investments. It is her safety net when she’s already gray and wrinkled and can’t earn from work anymore.

I ought to follow in Glenda’s footsteps. I also need to start investing so I have something to ‘harvest’ in the future. But where to begin and how much do I need? I will have to consult an expert on this.

You are seeking for treatments. You got it but what do you do with the serious side effects brought on by the treatment? I am not talking about mild side effects here but serious/dangerous side effects! My suggestion, file a lawsuit!

I know that there are persons out there who are out to file a Crestor lawsuit against the people behind the medicine. It is used to treat high cholesterol but what those under medication don’t know is that there are serious side effects that come with it. Scary and I do hope something will be done about this.

Get legal help! That’s what persons suffering from the side effects should do.

Mary is looking for a fallback in her old age. She is nearing the big 4-0 and she wants to have something that can secure her future. She asked her love ones and they told her why not open a salon since she is really good at salon services: haircut, manicure and pedicure, doing make-up, hair styling and all that. Mary agrees. She is indeed good at it having grown up near a salon and always hanging out there.

She is thinking of formally enrolling in a Nashville cosmetology school. She’s read great things about Regency Beauty Institute and she wants to be a part of it.

One of my cousins, older than me and nearing the big 4-0, is getting married. Finally! Aside from the long engagement that is fast becoming overdue, still being in love after all these years and more, the promise of a caribbean honeymoon from both their parents finally pushed them to set a date and begin the wedding preparations. Don’t get me wrong, the honeymoon promise is just icing on the cake considering the two are still very much in love, even after being engaged for five years!

So they will get married summer of 2012. They will tie the knot in front of 200 guests. They already have a house of their own they can go home to. They already have a successful business that gives them a really good income. They are successful in their separate careers. And my cousin’s bride is ready to be pregnant to start a family of their own.

They keep telling everyone in the past not to rush them into marriage and they are right! When it’s not yet the right time and one of them is not yet ready, then don’t go forward with the wedding. Wait until it all feels and fits just right.

You can’t imagine how contagious their happiness is!

Nothing beats seeing the fruits of your hard work. For athletes, all those sports trophies, medals and certificates of recognition. For employees, performance bonus, a pat on the back by the big bosses, a promotion. For an individual like me working almost 24/7 with no boss to speak of, more income coming in.

I am working hard to give my family a good life. I think I am able to accomplish it with my three sisters. I need to work a bit more for my brother. And then it will be for my dad’s future and my own after that. I know my sisters will help me with our dad so it will be more of my own future to think of after my brother graduates and finds a job.

I am happy seeing the fruits of my hard work: my siblings all college educated and holding degrees.

I hope to see more…
