The "accident" of birth ...

I can not know what gives rise to the "accident" of birth ... There are many who have their theories and many who believe there is no "accident." Some believe that we "choose" our own parents ...

I am not "learned" enough to know things like that ...

I know that too many of us take or took our parents for granted on occasion ... I always knew that my parents loved me unconditionally and I know that has been the source of my life force ... There was never a question in my mind and it was not until I started learning about how some others lived that I realized that the "Ozzie and Harriet" type life was a myth for sooo many ...

An "Ozzie and Harriet" type life (I know I date myself and I know there may not be a similar family on TV today which is like them - which IS part of the problem) is a wonder-filled life that IS possible once we learn that we "create" the lives we all live when we are old enough to take control of our OWN lives ...

Unfortunately, some people who DO have control of their lives do not yet recognize that they are navigating their OWN way now ... We EACH must learn to take FULL responsibility for the lives we all live ... Without judgment, we MUST recognize that basic fact, for it IS true that IF we change our thoughts, we DO change our lives ...

Too many people get stuck on the "Blame Game" ... Does it really matter? .. IF we focus on objectives (goals, etc.), of what value is blaming anyone for falling short? .. Isn't it better to just pick ourselves up and start anew, knowing that IF we do, we WILL arrive at our "destination" in due time? ... ...

I can't tell you how many times I find people wasting valuable time trying hard to assign blame ... OMG! ... ...Valuable time which could have better been spent on striving harder to get to where we needed to go ...

This blog post is a combined post ... a post that I almost lost to the ethernet for reasons the astute will understand and my attempt to salvage the time I spent working on the prior post ... I have often wondered "Why?" I continue to create responses to posts only to "lose them" to the ethernet ...

Oh well ... I'll keep blogging till I decide it's valuable time I can't afford to "lose to the ethernet" ... ...

Trying hard to b-r-e-a-t-h-e ... Aaahhhh! ... ...

Aloha pume hana,
