For all

[Loseratlife]

I was listening to a song last night on a country western radio station here in Los Angeles and a song played. The words are VERY inspiring to say the least so I thought I'd share them:

Artist/Band: Lonestar
Lyrics for Song: Mountains
Lyrics for Album: New Lyrics
Lucinda Jones workin' at the Eye Hall:
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears
She's waited on every creed an' color,
While waitin' on this day to get here
Graveyard shifts, two big tips,
Makin' every quarter count,
Was worth it all to see her son,
In that cap an' gown

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb

Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war,
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
Hell bent to run in that local marathon,
He trained through the endless pain an' pills
It hurt so bad that sometimes,
He just had to cry,
He didn't stop until he crossed,
That finish line

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb

This world ain't fair,
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there,
Or you can get back up
You gotta get back up

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
(The good Lord gave us mountains)
So we could learn how to climb
Yeah, oh

thanks Bill

why don't you change your name to workingatlife it's a little bit more possitive and true.

[Wolfy]

Bill
Keep up the positive attitude. Don't bring in any of the bad now. "Look Forward" and change your life for the better. Bit by bit.

[Loseratlife]

why don't you change your name to workingatlife it's a little bit more positive and true.

Done. Hope you and everyone else likes it.

[SpitFire]

LOVE IT, what a positive move!  keep it going...

[chill]

wow Bill, I am glad you changed it!  It suits you much better.  I kept checking yesterday to see if you decided to change it (inbetween packing and all) and then when I came on today..it was changed.  I am impressed.  Much better.........Thanks

I think is's a good name, Bill.

Try to keep the pace steady, and before you know it, things in every area of your life will be different.

I want to give my heartfelt thanks to all for the kind words on the name change. Working on me will definitely take some time and effort. I have a daughter to work on as well. She really has broken her fathers heart by

1. Telling me she would send a card and then not doing so.

2. Not even bothering to return ANY of the many phone calls I have made to her.

I sure hope that she does not do this to the man she may some day love and cherish. She will lose him for sure the way she's going.

as with all kids... show by actions and example.

I have a daughter to work on as well.

If I may make a suggestion, Bill....don't work on your daughter, work on how you respond to your daughter.  Remember, we cannot change another person, but we can change how we react to them.

I'm sure your daughter did not do this on purpose.  I have forgotten to send cards before, too.  But it had nothing to do with the person I was going to send them to.  It had to do with me, and how my life got busy....or whatever.

Please, Bill...don't continuely hold your daughter responsible for so much. 

The more you get upset with her, the more she'll pull away. 

[Liz]

I'll second that, Belle!

[bullshit]

Bill, you need to understand something.

You hurt your ex in the past, both emotionally and physically. I don't know if you ever hurt your daughter or not, but you did by hurting her mother. She is obviously close to her mother because they have been together for years. You are being punished for your past, and fear of present. It's human nature Bill. Your daughter is reacting exactly as I would expect her to react to the situation. The hurt, the pain, the scars that you created don't just go away. I think that you don't really comprehend the damage that YOU have done to these two women. Until you can acknowledge that, and form an understanding of what you have done, you will never understand why your daughter acts towards you the way she does. And, the proof that you don't understand is, you keep creating the same situations with her. Instead of using kindness, you still use anger. Bill, do you want to talk to anyone that gets angry with you?

[Loseratlife]

And may I make another one.....now that you've changed your name, how about that AV.  Looks awful negative itself.

Then please give me a site where I can get some really cool looking avatars that are spiritual/meditational in nature and then you're on ok?
