I saw a sight, a brilliant sight,
Was I in delight, you betcha that is right!
It came in a dream,
so vivid so sereane,
You showed your love,
From the clouds up above.
You were gentle and kind,
You listened as I whined.
I could not believed you appeared,
In that awesome dream, felt so real!
A Grandfather, so grand,
I kissed your strong held hand.
I spoke your name,
I got to see your face.
Showing me you are here,
with us to give hope, maybe take away some fear.
Making me feel strong, as you caught me off guard,
So nice it was, I think from heaven above.
To say good bye, as I wiped my cry,
A strong soldier you are, even if so high and far.
Your a legend to me as brave as can be.
The love of an angel, deep and alive,
a shelter for my troubles, although I miss you most times.
What could I do, but wish you could stay longer,
knowing you had to leave, as my knees became stronger.
I do not weep for you, that you have been gone,
I know from deep within, how your love pours in.
Guides from heaven above, as real as a silky white dove,
as it was so real to me, a soldiers face and a grandfather protecting me.
as you lit up the sky, once again we said hello, then goodbye.

Working Out the Kinks; No Guilt, No Crutch, No Excuse.
I have not written in this blog for a very long time, Since New Years. I was reflecting, like so many of us do on the last year, the new year...Working out all the KINKS in my life. I learned from my parents and loved ones, to not be a victim and if I was it was not for long. It can't be easy for parents to show the way instead of make the way. It can't be easy to Let It Be, It can't be easy to instead of feeding into such illnesses and sweeping everything under the carpet, when the underlying issue is still there; to make one stronger, more self sufficient, more independent. Even if there is a guilt factor in the way, rising above the feeling of guilt to nurture instead of feed the illness and the crutch. That it becomes a cycle of guilt, crutch and excuses. I really do commend many, not just parents for taking the reins, working out the kinks of life's ups and downs, working out the guilt factor, the crutch people lean on and excuse after excuse. It is much harder to help someone grow and learn, no matter illness or not, teach lessons instead of easy fixes.
I have done a lot of soul searching in many areas of life lately. It is much easier to rescue, make things nice and easy. Though it does not serve anyone in the long run, hurts rather then helps.
For me personally, I did learn the hard way, but I did learn, still of course have much learning to do. Most do learn the hard way my Mother always said. There is a whole world out there for enjoyment, gratitude of love and living. Instead of Guilt, Crutch and excuses and no living, no taking chances and no growth.
The best thing my Parents did for me ever was to make sure that I can rely on myself, my inner being to get by in life, overcoming many issues along the way instead of the same one repeatedly. When I learn something new, knowing another lesson is on the way, I am glad I don't have the same burden of problems over and over makes me very proud, not of myself. For my parents, stepping back and having a BELIEF in ME, that I too can overcome, while working out the kinks and petty things that come into everyone's life. Yes I say it is My illness, because it is no one elses to deal with but mine. I call it mine, because that to me is ownership of my behaviour, my dealings here and there, my problems. Not one of my family members have to feel guilty, because I have NO crutch and no Excuse.
They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can not make them drink...I am so glad, that I was lead to water and Drank the whole river!

Marijuana Use and Mental Health
Ok I will come out with it, I smoked Marijuana but did not inhale. NO, I did inhale. In my early Tweties away at school...though a lot of people use it, I am still one to protest that for a lot of us it just does not work. For people who suffer with Mental Health issues I believe it does more harm then good!! Hey and if I sound preachy on the matter...well, I have been there, I give myself the right to discuss this! I used it and fell into the hospital at a very young age, destroying my future career and many other things along the way. What if you are 16 or so and trying on weed for size, but also have a Mental Illness of sorts. For one, everyone I hear is different with that drug. In reality, if you have a Mental Illness and at 16 may not know of it, as scary as that may be. Trying on pot for size, worsens the illness to a degree sometimes of no recovery. Also it can trigger an episodic breakdown, the feeling is as worse as any.
I was hospitalized twice because of it and had a Ten or more year battle with getting healthy, mentally and otherwise. Say you really don't like how pot makes you feel, you don't like the high but have a hard time saying no to your peers. Trust me, I have had to do that. You may yes, be looked at differently, not being a drug taker in your group. You will though earn respect from so many, new friends and even yourself. I found not doing drugs, I was able to wake up, enjoy everyday, without having to have a fix to make that feel good emotion.
So what happens to people young and older who smoke pot. There brain waves that occupy that HAPPY feeling stop working regularly, it stops so that when you take that toke, that becomes the indicator on your happy feeling. What happens when you are out of weed for a stretch...Your Seratonin can not be recreated properly or at all and then the feeling of being blue, unhappy and maybe irritable step in. Just like any other drug, although some say it is not addictive that happy feeling is! Then you are hooked, like any other drug. If you have a Mental Illness it will rear it's ugly-and I mean ugly head sooner, quicker, to a higher degree.
So all the 16 or older people out there, think about how old you are. Think about your future. Do you really want to have a life where you need a hit just to wake up smiling in the AM? 1 in 4 people have a mental illness, I hate to say it, what if you are one of them? What happens if you get hooked on weed, plus the prescribed medication that a doctor has to give you? That is a combination that reeks havoc on your lifestyle more then you know. Think, if you are in the hospital you would have to sustain anyways.
I am not concerned with the over 25 age group who have taken Marijuana for years. My passion lies with the younger generation who still have a chance to make a choice. You want to feel happy on your own merit don't you? Don't you want to wake up in the spring bright eyed and glistening able to go for a hike without stopping for that high, when the trees and the nature could easily provide that Happy high all day, everyday? The road gets rough with Mental Illness...it is much easier to stop the cycle just by saying NO. I found if you say NO three times in a row you are half way there and people will know your stand point and most likely value it and respect it.
I just know what I have learned over and over, what I have gone through, the many therapies I have been given and learned about over 25+ years. I would hate to see a teen waist there time and energy on such things. You don't want that road. Take the high road, not a quick fix high, but the high that can last a lifetime of you getting up everyday, able to produce seratonin levels in your brain on your own. I have heard many horror stories, seen it with my own eyes. Do something different, be different. Don't succumb to a passing drug. Instead, take care of yourself and others too may follow.

What I have Learned Thus Far
We all learn things here and there, better ways of being, better ways of seeing things and maybe along the way you are able to help someone or many people while continuing to change and grow, helping them in turn change and grow, as they are also a source for you to reflect on change. I learned a valuable lesson in 2014 one that will take me through the rest of my being. Years ago I learned how to say No, that was hard for me. I would feel guilty if someone asked something of me and I could not give and if I did, I would end up empty handed. I was being guilted into giving.
This year, although now almost mirrored as a cliche as the New Year is far behind us, my resolution sticks in 2015. I overcame something that I really did not even know was an issue, ever so slowly though, the issue was growing bigger and bigger. Now I choose my time wisely, not caught up in the middle of other peoples issues. Prior, there always seemed to be some crisis, something I was either digging out of, or someone else that I was wrapped up in. Today I have learned to stay distant from the triggers that would hold me back, hold me down, feeling insecure because of all the crisis of either myself or others. When in reality, now knowing that other peoples crisis are not my own. Now, I feel safe to say that I am able to be around the "stress" but with that, I do not give in to the on goings of others. Really, I had to put my priorities in order. I really had to put myself first, my health first, my mental health first, family first, my home and loved ones.
I had to come away from the upset and just know that if I want to survive mentally I can not harbour other peoples issues and make them my own. I am a sensitive being, I have been told that many times. My Mother can have a friend who is going through a crisis but she does not carry their issue, she is able to help as much as she can without jepeopridising her faith, her conviction, her health or her home. I wanted that, to stand on the outskirts, still caring but not carrying other peoples emotions. Now I can really say, that it is very refreshing, turning the other cheek, not getting mixed up and caught up. Where if I had a bad day at work, it would turn into a bad week, month then year. One little upset would seriously put me through the ringer.
I have finally learned how it feels to distant myself from situations that do not serve me. Now I deal with things when I am ready or not at all if it does not concern me. Other peoples issues on top of my own was really to much for me to bare.
Now I can really say that my home is my castle, my time with my loved ones is significant more now then ever, my survival tactics are better, my relationships are ones of ease and respect. I think that is a milestone in my recovery although I have had many obstacles and many things to help me WANT to grow. To be able to easily say yay or nay and now to respect myself enough to allow or disallow is effortless.
My Mother says all the time, all you can worry about is you and if I told her about an upset, she would say- "Not Your Problem" Now I finally got it.

Positivity Is NOT a Catch Phrase
It is not just about thinking positive and whoosh everything that was every upsetting in your life magically disappears. If it were that simple that we all just said, "keep smiling, turn that frown upside down now"...Then life would be very simple wouldn't it be? It would almost be to simple, to boring and not many learned lessons to be had. No, Thinking positive is much more about Being a positive soul from inside out. Not just talking empty words of positive stimulation. But being that positive force that not only touches you and helps you through many obstacles....also touching the lives of others. Creating a life force within you that radiates somehow, big or small onto everyone you meet. In so, creating a change within them, that motivates them too to not only talk of nice things, but be GREAT even in any adversity.
I believe today, people throw around the Positive message to easily where now I see that it is becoming a HOAX...When in reality, it is an all knowing that Everyday, is a great day, Everyday there is much good and not much bad, Everyday getting up excited even just to go to the Dentist. Everyday is worthwhile and somehow a lesson or two come out of each day all through Positive Action.
I find it easier to live in the Light of Positivity, but not all must rely on such a paradigm. No you don't have to believe, of course not. It really did work for me and for many others I know and hey, much easier to get through the day, week, month, without being bothered by the trivial or not so trivial matters.
For me, I had to for the last Two years, maybe more-get through the crap! There were good times and bad, very good times and yes very bad. Many times crying myself to sleep, many times happy to wake up to enjoy a bright and sunny day and sunny disposition. I know with all my knowing that IF I did not turn to Positivity without it being a HOAX or a mainstream classification...Then I would NOT BE HERE TODAY. IF I let myself wallow in my pity, allow myself to dislike who I am because of blunders or mistakes...If I allowed any more of the crap without using my positive tool light to guide me..THEN I WOULD NOT COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE.
It is not about one day believing, one day not, one minute smiling the next scowling every where you go...although it does take practice. I had to walk the walk not just talk the talk of positivity. I truly believe if we all did this, time and time again turning to our power within to Think, Be and Act in desirable light for you, and FOR HIM...then There would be much less upset, much less emotional scars, much less depression, much less suicide...Dare I say?
If you had the chance to save someone out of misery, talk them out of a dump and into a positive walking being, able to handle any hiccup along the way, Would you be that positive force to help someone out of dread and to shed light onto an unhappy situation?
We had a rough go for a few years, I knew about my faith in positivity...I had to use it, I had to teach it to my loved one, I had to fight everyday to see the hour of positive faith and to use that faith to lean on by any means...I did not say, "Oh I am positive in a fluff"..I HAD TO BE that POSITIVE change within ME, to allow the process of HEALING to begin for US. I had to look forward to everyday, no matter what happened, I had to believe that great things are here for me now and that I am blessed, I had to THINK good, FEEL GOOD and BE GOOD. Of course I am human and to err is HUMAN, I know though that my TRUE unrelenting force of positivity that I had to create and lay groundwork from years ago had to be cultivated, I had to shed that light onto my days of adversity to allow my loved one and I to survive.
AND WE PREVAILED!
One may say, "OH ya just think positive" such a catch phrase now. That is just to simple, it is NOT a phrase or a word to be said loosely. IT is a production created within to be HAPPY, Choosing to BE happy, choosing to think of the many great blessings everyday...Even if one is at their utmost worse...EVEN if the most horrific things are going on around or within you. POSITIVITY is NOT a catch phrase...POSITIVITY can SAVE YOUR LIFE and YOUR SOUL and MANY OTHERS!! USE it with care.

Would You Give up Your Dream?
There is not many things I would give up on, for my Dreams to be fulfilled. I do believe things take priorities at different points in your life and things have set backs to some degree, to me a burning flame is a burning flame. It comes from within and if you dream BIG enough, long enough, with enough faith, surrounding yourself with the right people, nothing will stand in your way. If you are a goal setter like I am and a motivated individual, working towards your dream or goal with your motivation for the fruitation of it being realized, it will come true. I do know the other side to not having your dream fulfilled. One reason I get along with my partner and husband so well is because he is a goal setter, motivated and he to is following his path of his dreams being fulfilled. The other side of that is perhaps following the standard quo, or possibly having a goal or dream but following what someone else wants for you-not your own. That side of it, I know first hand causes a lot of heartache.
Imagine, having a dream your whole life-even a bucket list type of dream...but never realizing it, never even talking about it. When you go to sleep at night though, that dream is there in your soul nugging at you to come out. It is always with you, it wants to be fulfilled. Your dream wants to make you feel whole; a complete circle from the inside out; no matter how big or small...it is all relative. I have watched many people who have had dreams, told me what they were....gave ideas on how to follow that path of hope, after I listened I would say "Oh you should do that, you would be great at that"! Then always there words are, "Ya BUT, it would not work"....I wonder how many times someone told that person it would never work? When I saw the gleam and sparkle in there eye, I saw that person light up, I saw the person talking fast, that I could even almost taste what they wanted. I believed whole heartedley that they could definatley have there dream fulfilled, they though did not.
Would you give up on your dream and if so, why?
At the beginning of each new year elementary school, the Teachers would come to the front, write there name on the board then ask us as students, "What do you want to be when you grow up"? When they came to me I would say shyly although truthfully, "I want to change the world" They then would say "How" I would again shyly say "By helping people" I guess the Teachers knew right then that I would not be on the honour role for any mathematics or any other glum teachings. That is still with me today, whether I do it through my writing, or in small ways when I meet people out and about...That is what drives me. Ultimatley that is what I still plan to do.
Don't give up on your dreams, whatever they are...There are far too too many people on their path for someone else, possibly a parental figure or for what ever other reason. I know to well, how it feels to come home from yes, a job you hate, etc etc etc. Following a dream, is not hard work, it is already staring you straight in the heart and deep within you. Could you see Rocky saying "ahhh, no I don't really want to go another round, although it is toe to toe and only five minutes left until the bell rings"? If he ever had done that, how could he see or know what the outcome would be...EVEN if he did not win that fight. Do you ever see an olympian soaring down the slopes beating everyone's time and then to say, "Ahh it is too cold, I am going to go warm up". Last example I promise. What if you were building a house, a dream home for you family, if you only had 5 days left and the whole house would be complete, would you throw down your hammer and say, I have a back pain...I guess this house can't be finished...? NO none of this would really make much sense if this or that was your true passion and dream. I could see if you were miserable at doing something, you would not want to do it for very long and then find a way to hopefully pursue your dreams.
The question yet still remains, Would you give up on your dream? The answer to me is plain and clear as day..."NO that would mean to give up on life, and YOURSELF.
Imagine, having a dream your whole life-even a bucket list type of dream...but never realizing it, never even talking about it. When you go to sleep at night though, that dream is there in your soul nugging at you to come out. It is always with you, it wants to be fulfilled.

The question yet still remains, Would you give up on your dream? The answer to me is plain and clear as day..."NO that would mean to give up on life, and YOURSELF.
