It's been said that worry is like a rocking chair. It gives us something to do, but it doesn't get us anywhere. In fact, according to one statistic, we can't do anything about 70 percent of our worries. 40% are things that will never happen 30% are about the past—which can't be changed 12% are about criticism by others, mostly untrue 10% are about health, which gets worse with stress 8% are about real problems that can be solved Just something to think about! :-) Continue

If you still care, don't ever let me know

Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage… So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know. My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there. Deliver me into my Fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you… My smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And c… Continue

Please help this worthy cause!

Hi there…just a reminder…there’s only a few days left to get a great book and donate money to help wounded soldiers at the same time! “Reporting for Doodie: One Grandmother's Story of Commitment, Frustration and Unwavering Love.” It's the account of how deployment - in my case dual deployment - affects the caregivers at home. It's a funny (sometimes very funny), sad and heartwarming account of how my life changed when asked to care for my 2-year old grandson when I was going through an unexpecte… Continue

Love is the green of the life

Compare the summer, the autumn is always short. a week ago the leaves were still golden and bright, now they have fallen off. most of trees are bald, only the pine and cedars are still green. all the summer we didn't pay much attention to the green pines or cedars, just because our eyes were full of colorful plants. when everything was gone and fade away, we finally found those which were quiet and ignored are really some beauitful things. Beauty does not need to be told by calling, the time wou… Continue

Im back, after a long absence

Hi all, Just wanted to say hello. I apologise for the time i've been away. I have been loving my life as Kelly's husband for the last week and a half.

I have put up some photos of the wedding. They were from my Dad (whom is in in either DC or NYC before going back to australia on verterans day). Now I have… Continue

TAPS.com

They're a great group, TAPS. Here it is, coming up on four years since Brian died. I have not spoken to any of the Soldiers that fought with him, save one, I have not been contacted by any support group (Like, say, Gold Star Mom's)...I just found out that there is a bereavement center here in Birmingham that has resources and will actually come to my home and let me cry. I just found out I can get copies of his awards and stuff...if I wanted them, which, I'd like to see the paperwork but I dont… Continue

Convoy Mission

Hello everybody I'm heading back to Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. This mission into Iraq has been a challenge. Its not easy keeping these vehicles running. HET's require alot of care but they are doing a wonderful job getting our equipment back into Kuwait and out of Iraq. This mission had me going to a newe location in Iraq. Scary I must say. Killing Americans is still a huge concern over here. I'm kust thankful for God for protecting us on these convoys. Well duty calls will work hard to post new th… Continue
