I head back into the city to have a review of my health.With all things considered I am pleased with where I came from and where I am now.It’s tedious in doing this routine however I think that with all things concerned I have literally done it within a hard manner.Yet there is a determination which comes with it.I have learned to adapt.I don’t know where the next stage is with all of this however I know that after this duration of relinquishing my health it has been an all encompassed area.One which many would fall down yet I keep that thought that within each and every day there is something new which can be rendered.
As well what I have learned is there are those which do have malice of intentions and there are some which aid and have assisted.Within life I have learned to honor those which believe in respect – actually it’s a two way street.Spite is spite, and kindness is what it is.When one extends a hand to another it’s a good gesture of mankind.Yes within all there are those that breed contempt and there are those which are happy with life.With all things accomplished aside of some minor areas, I look forward to what becomes and unfolds rather than stagnation.Never say is never as from what I have learned that a challenge can be embraced and life unfolds to the goals within life which are within the freedom of mankind.
What is to become is what one decides along with the acceptance that there are no boundaries within life.They are merely challenges – positive ones if your perspective is in line with what you wish to achieve.Respect those which are worthy of respect, and embrace those which come into your sphere with good intent.

Within this post it's hard to summarize what Memorial Day is. America lives within a free state that is one of which is a democracy. I don't think one takes the day and looks at it as a happy day nor a day to be grieved.
Memorial Day renders not just war but the measure that those whom are within the service. Service for myself is that commodity whereby those are prepared and act when called upon to service their country. Those whom are within the service are those that never desire to be within action of war. Nor is there an eagerness to be at war. Yet they are prepared when and if necessary. Yet there have been wars which have taken place. I, myself, never look at what has been done as I don't think we know the real truths within a society now where we do ponder many areas of life which would include war.
Memorial Day is that value of honoring those in service and especially those whom have given their own lives for the very right of freedoms which we have. If it was not for the people whom have done so - we would not have the freedoms we have. Sometimes I wonder if we are too free. But within America, this is a day that is of memory. To remember those whom have served to enable the rights of freedom. Integrity comes to mind and a few other things. Most of all it's the very fact that we can walk upon the soils that we have and enjoy them by way of the service which was done by those of the past and present. I can't say I wish you a Happy Memorial Day. As it's not applicable. The merit of this day is that of freedom. Freedom that enables us to live life within the very manner which is desired. Freedom as so well put by way of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and so many others which would include the average citizen. As all are enabled to voice their thoughts within a free state. When I think of this day of honor, I think of those that did the service with the intention to maintain a society to be free and as sound as can be. Memorial Day is one which within the United States resonates.
From state to state, there is something to be proud of within these times. It's the very acts in which came from those whom served. When people serve they place other ahead of them. What I have found within my experience is there is a determination within those that have served and they placed others lives ahead of their own to enable freedom to reign.
To those which reside within the United States of America - this is a day of Memorial. A day of recognition to those which have served for the very freedoms that we so often tend to forget we have.
I wrote some time back for a young lady that was living during very hard times she lived within Iraq and was apart of this group I had while at the same time there was another member which was a Major within the United States Army. I still keep in touch with them from time to time but this was a write which I had done for both of them back at that time. Regardless both of them were ordinary people in life. Both desired freedom and a return of some peace.
This is from my old blog but I still believe it stands with some worthiness.
Day In No Day Out
She wakes up and it's the same thing To try to maintain a ritual Or routine or any kind of thing It's not a fight against any country A plight of her own There's no paper at her doorstep
On the way to a market She gets the necessities While walking homebound She does not shudder anymore To the bombing from either side She has seen too much But yet carries a smile
Yet she looks into the blue sky And does hope That peace will survive and prevail Not just for her land but for yours and mine It's what keeps her motivated But just like you and me Only for a while - she is human
But the question is when And it's now Each and every day Ironic as some of us are thinking the same Irony and reality yes For her and for many The passives – the ordinary Can be extrodinary She lives over there what is there?
She has some of the same tastes She has some that are different She would love to share But she is shy To make any statement As it could be shunned
Yet ironically she is a-cultured And maybe the monuments standing In all different lands Stand for what she is about
However the fanatics and ignorance manipulate They do no service rather make for disrgrace Isnt it supposed to be for the good sided of both sides of the coin? Probably so but the coines toss to those That wish it to toss only one way Greed on both sides with power manipulation
The cat is on the cupboard It wants to go out So she softly puts him out But watches cautiously Till he is back in And cuddle again A warmth that is random And while the electricity is down This is the only feeling of warmth
The curious young lady ponders The day of being able to travel The day of waking with a normal way Where the day is greeted with coffee The birds and the sun. She has the desire not be judged Based on fanatics from both societies And media that play the bend And when will she and so many others Be afforded the chance to mend? And not be judged by ignorance Rather with grace
In a revolving cycle The corridor of peace Is around the corner She isn't sure of this Nor anyone else
This young lady will have peace If we can have peace - certainly she can The ability to do what she desires And when god is such a Bad word coming from them Many of "them" use it in the same Non-fanatical manner that you and I do
With Gods speeds my dear Keep your chin up and don't shed too many tears For the ones that speaketh usually do take it away And that is universal saying Not just Iraq per se
Martin Luther King once said For the black people in America "I have a dream" His dream came true So shall this one dearest May For you and for All the good of mankind
Dr. Martin paid a price But the dream did come true The sun does shine ~ jgs

The Major is Home
Coffee is ready in the kitchen Hearing it saying welcome home Rog And as you look out the window There is the land in which you know It's the land you have grown The trees, the yard, the land it's all there And in a way each is casting a smile Welcome back
Another sip of coffee There are the kids Thought you were up early Before everyone else Not the case But Dad has a surprise Happy loving faces Those are your own Radiant young faces to see their Father Even with those twins Dad is home
Another sip of coffee Mom is serene and content A kiss on to your loved one And then to the entire clan My this kitchen has taken a family stand Looking eye to eye A few tears in some eyes It's all good as this is the life
Another sip of that warm coffee Bill has the same problems He just called on the telephone Yes that same old equipment You helped him during your time off Seemingly are back in need of fix in But that's not his plan He just wants to see ya And shake your hand
The last sip of that coffee You're back at your own land Something's never change But it's all good
You carried out your missions While taking care of many peaceful In another land You found the good The people, the mothers, the daughters And all the peaceful And you found some of the bad
Most of all you finished your coffee And understand that you did what You were called upon doing And now you can sip you own coffee From your own coffee mug
The cup is put down Time for a hair cut, heck no Time for some music and some visiting Maybe this first day I'll take the wife for a drive Around the state Or to the nearby cafe and have lunch ~ jgs ~
