TGIF,,, love fridays,,

As I set here writing, I've put in my earbuds and listening to music. What a way to cheer yourself up and get some motivation. Music can do so much good to make one laugh, cry, sing, start moving dancing,, what a way to get one motivated and forget about your troubles. I love the way a favorite song and or a favorite musician will make you feel. I find it interesting the songs we choose to be our favorites. There are so many talented artists that can convey such emotions and brings your mind to times past. IT is such a memorable way to experience life. I love songs that have a stand up kind of story and is helping people do what they may want to do or need to do. Of course I enjoy the ones that women in particular do what they need to but also the upstanding guy doing the right thing. I'm from the south so it's not like we don't have an attitude from time to time but we also have a love for family and doing the right thing just because that's the way it is. There comes times when you just know what needs to be done and you do it against the odds and when no one may be standing up against it. I find such encouragement with music and voices that can convey such a welcome voice and words you need at that time.

I find myself enjoying the male artist that are tender hearted but stand up for the underdog or their family that kind of John Wayne way. IT is refreshing to see such people who shoot straight and say what is on their mind and stick to each word they say. How much easier it would if more people were like that all the time? I know each has there own way to live and to choice what way to go. I respect someone that says what they think and the things they stand for. The muscians that are country and rock n roll mix are usually a draw for me. The honesty and the little bit or alot of attitude in that is such a thing I highly enjoy. Now I love a slow song that has alot meaning and will touch you emotionally too. It is so inspiring to have music that can do all that. So in closing let me say enjoy your day and the moments and the things that inspire you.

LIfe as it goes

I was pleased to hear today that a person on trial for abusing some children was found sentenced to life plus 20 years to serve in jail. I was pleased to see that his criminal behavior caught up with him and now he must pay a price. It is not only disgusting and so ridiculous that anyone would abuse a child but it is highly against any justice for the victim. Anyone that would make their own wants over what a child needs is not a good human being. I see most adults take on the duty of raising and taking care of children as it should be. Once you have ever held a baby in your arms and nursed a bobo with a bandaid for a child you know how much trust they put in adults and are so very vulnerable to mistreatment. That is why it is so against human nature and "the right thing to do" to mistreat a child and break that trust that is put upon one. We all were a child at one time and if you think back and remember the carefree way of a child and how dependent a child is upon the adult, you will realize how important it is for adults to do the right thing and act accordingly. So as I wrap up this writing I urge all adults to do the right thing and take care of the child as they should be or if need be be willing to seek help or as last resort let someone else take care of the child if you are unable. There are plenty of adults that wish to have a child and are willing to help and or raise a child. We all must speak up for the children and train them in a way where they speak up when they need to. Protecting the children and providing them a safe environment has to be a must!!!
