We all miss the mark in being the type of parent we dreamed about. Maybe it’s that we try to do things so differently from our parents that we miss the great points such as discipline they had in the household or maybe we just can’t stop becoming them.  One’s error’s may not lead to problem child unless they have the nature to go in such a direction. Over time they say it all works out but as we get older that time becomes shorter.  Maybe all you can do is plant the seed, water and nurture the child and pray that G-D protects  her/him from the storms inside and out so that it grows up healthy, happy and successful.

Kara McCullough might have changed the image of science forever. The theory of nerdy looking students carrying their protractors has been cracked as Kara McCullough walks into the room.  This beautiful young scientist from D.C has won the 2017 Miss USA contest and now those considering this field has gotten a whole lot larger.  Science has never looked so good and maybe we’ll finally find some new solutions or at least enjoy the work a bit more.

Can someone notice that a person of the same sex is good looking/attractive without switching scripts?  I’ve often been asked whether a certain star was good looking for within my zone and come out with an honest answer according to my own eyes. For women this doesn’t appear to be a problem as they can watch pageants and pretend their waiting for the talent competition.  Just as one judges a piece of art certain features of any human being are more attractive to the eye then others.  When one’s head above can make such a determination that is not a form of homosexuality it’s just if the head below agrees that you might consider joining a choir in the village.

How do you deal with pain physical, mental/emotional or interpersonal helps determine the outcome of the cards you are dealt. For no matter the form pain must be coped with in the same formula (below).

(1) IDENTIFY- This isn’t as easy as it might seem for the main culprit of pain is hidden deep in layers below the surface.

(2) DISTRACT- Sometimes it’s impossible to escape the pain initially so you must have some distraction to it. Whether it be through the arts (music, drawing, writing) exercise, or leaving even for the moment the location it’s time for you to feel a bit better if just then.

(3) LESSON- There are ways you can learn to manage the pain when it is in full force and those can be taught be professionals in the field.  They include deep breathing exercises, meditation and prayers that help you keep your focus on the big picture.

(4) CHALLENGE- Consider it part of the challenge to where you’re going or how you got there and plan to conquer like a mountain step by step or breath by breath.

Let’s face it being a mom combines many difficult mental, physical and spiritual  capacities that some who give birth just don’t have. That is where a father’s or other loved one’s might have to  jump in and wear the dress (not literally). These individuals will never receive the cards or roses on this date but hopefully the love of their “children” who they helped raise.   “Mother’s”, without recognition for their incredible deeds and actions that they committed on behalf of our youth, yet not  the accolades for their incredible work, this card is for you. “Happy Mother’s Day” even if you’re not technically a mother you are one for all the right reasons.

Life goes by so quickly that we often forget the wonderful things our Mom’s have done for us so this is my eternal card to my mom so that those memories will last many lifetimes in the future.  This card will hopeful be read by her and the many generations to come to see how they can be as great as mom as my mommie/mother is.  Here are my top 10 memories from my mind today.

(1) NEWSPAPER DELIVERY- My mom would make sure my hair didn’t get to wet as she drove me around in blizzards to get the newspapers delivered.

(2) CARROTS/APPLE JUICE- Mom also made that each one of her children had their special vegetable and juice ready at the dinner table.

(3) COLD CUT SNACK- Coming home from school I had my T.V break with some delicious cold cuts ready for my munching.

(4) LAST ONE AGREEING- My mom has been my greatest defender even when the rest of the family saw it another way.

(5) RING FOR LIFE- Mom came to the rescue when I was taken to the emergency room to try and remove a ring which was made at Industrial Arts and was ready to make my finger explode.

(6) RELAX- The advise I never listened and continue to rebel against although a few gray hairs later it’s starting to ring a bell.

(7) ALIENS- The movie that me and my mom saw that still stays in our head.

(8) BLANKIE TIME- Running into my parents bedroom to watch the Saturday Morning Cartoons.

(9) CONCERN- That is one feature which has always stayed true.

(10) FAMILY- There is no getting around that my mom is 1/2 maybe 3/4 of the glue that keeps this diverse family together.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY- I LOVE YOU – FROM UNBORN, TO BORN, TILL ETERNITY.

Today’s Mother’s Day Event turned out to be a bunch of DISASTERS which a trained chef or therapist could take care too bad my training wasn’t to deep in these fields.   Here’s a brief list of the problems that went wrong and the band aids that I tried to apply.

(1) PINA COLADA DISASTER- The mix was coming out just right in the blender when we realized that the nut on the blender wasn’t actually tight enough and my floor and the dog enjoyed the drink instead. We tried to salvage what we could and a bit here or there but it turned out to be a bit here rather then there in the end.

(2) FREE ICE- The Ice was perfectly placed in the bucket when the handle decided to come lose and deliver it to the Pina Colada floor.  I had ice enough for this recovery and my floors actually turned out to be a bit cleaner and cooler …literally.

(3) PASTA WATER- The first batch was delicious pasta sauce but the second batch turned out to be water.  I combined the two together and added a few tomatoes but with my guest a bit late everything was older then it should have been.

(4) YOU TRY IT- My guest decided to try a different restaurant in advance even without any knowledge of the disasters above. Some of my dishes were actually delectable, seriously and now I’m stuck with enough food for the next 2 Mother’s Day’s

FOOTNOTE- In the end everyone appeared to have a great time and even I sorta smiled. Next year less dishes and better preparations of who is coming, what they will eat and when they will actually arrive.

During life’s struggles it’s important to hold onto those daily/weekly moments a bit longer. For if one soon forgets they might fall tumbling down all the way back to the bottom and that can really hurt.  Here are some moments I’m going to try keep in my head a bit longer then they have in the past.

(1) HOT SHOWER- The feeling of warmth soothing the entire body and refreshing the spirit.

(2) GOOD CHOCOLATE- A taste that holds your mouth and mind in a standstill of pleasure.

(3) INTIMACY- When passions are fully ignited as if an explosion occurs in your body, mind and soul.

(4) LAUGHTER- Where you lose yourself to a funny authority.

(5) CONVERSATION GOING- Just the warmth of knowing someone is listening to U and holding you in their heart.

(6) GYM COMPLETION- It’s if you’ve climbed Mt Everest with your bare hands at least hormonal.

(7) PEACE- The moment you’ve completed that task and can sit feeling good about yourself.

(8) FAITH- Your bond with G-D in moments of prayer, reflection, wonderment, love and happiness.

It’s important to be close to your Mother but some have taken it to the extremes. When mother not only takes care of you but creeps into your mind it’s time that you call for a split. Yet be careful where such a split occurs for you never know when and how it can return.
