You better not fail those exams...

Fahima

This was a smash hit for Vicki Lawrence in the 1970's, becoming the #1 hit in April of 1973.  Interesting stories were told through song in the 1960's and 1970's.

Newborn Baby With Blinking Eyes

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'

The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'

God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Clown

Maybe when you find yourself lost in the desert, hungry and dehydrated, you should stay away from any fallen clowns you come across.  They can leave a funny after-taste in your mouth.

May, 2008

This is in response to the messages and comments that I received from people regarding my "I AM>>>>I WAS" posting.  I'll send it to them personally, too....but I know that a lot more people read it and wondered what the heck I was talking about.

My Username, Strive2Be, can mean any amount of things to people.  For myself, the MAIN explanation is to fight to continue to exist....to stay alive....to not slit my wrist open again like I did almost 6 years ago now.  Sometimes I have to fight very, very hard not to leave this world....where I remain and continue to exist only by the thread of a spiderweb.  Strive2Be has a second meaning for me as well.  And that is to live and not just to exist.  To be of assistance to others, to be there for another person if they are in need, to have a PURPOSE that helps to lift some weight off another's shoulders.  Without a purpose in life...and putting action to that purpose, of course....then what is the point of being here...breathing the air that someone else would like to have, living within a healthy body that somebody else would give anything for, to be a waste of space when somebody else isn't ready to die yet and would trade places with me in a heartbeat.

When I mentioned that Strive2Be has failed and telling myself to quit striving......I wasn't talking about failing a test, a course, a degree, a promotion.  Nothing of that sort at all.  So some of your comments didn't even pertain to my short, unknowable message that I sent.  Without going into details, I reached a point where complete strangers made me feel lower than low.....after trying so hard and for so long....over and over and over again....I always ended up feeling completely worthless and certainly not a person that anyone could love.  And when I strive and strive....wanting to give up a billion times....but I just keep lifting my head back up and knowing that I *am* a good person......well, a point is finally reached when too much happens in one day and you just *thought* you were a good person when in reality.....that must have disappeared somewhere down the road because people let you know how much you really are worth....which isn't enough to even live on (sick joke, I know).  So I failed to find my way, and it was time to stop striving.  I felt so defeated and too tired to continue on.  There was no point in striving to be.

Okay, enough of this wonderful posting that you don't even understand.  Lol.  You don't know what I'm fully talking about, and that is okay.  I don't want any sympathy or ridicule from anyone.  Even after lots of staying in bed for 2 days in a row (and this was going on for a bit while I still posted....I'd disappear for a couple of days, and then come back), sleeping with my pills....not wanting to FEEL and not wanting to THINK....and so when I'd start to wake back up again, I'd use the washroom and all that good stuff, and then take some more pills and go back to bed.  I didn't want to know ANYTHING.

But I'm back.  I'm not hopping around with energy and enthusiasm and happiness....but I'm pulling myself back up.  Because I will not allow strangers to make me feel the way I was.  I feel bad enough about myself as it is for different reasons, and I don't need to have their actions and expectations regarding me to have such a devastating effect on me.....even when it happened over and over and over and over and over.  Must mean it's true, right?  NO.  Because I *know* that I am a good person, and even though I don't understand why my life is the way it is (and probably won't until I reach heaven), I can at the very, very least help send out birthday e-cards, post a Blog that is entertaining for people to look through, TRY to respond to all the comments and messages that I receive (but sometimes that can be rather overwhelming.  Lol.  Although I absolutely love it when people make comments.  It means that the story/photo/cartoon/video...whatever it may be...got that person's attention and they wanted to say something about it.  THAT makes me happy.)

I will post this on my Blog, plus send it privately to people who wrote to me.  But I have to let you know that I deleted a bunch of Private Messages without even looking at them.  I don't know who you are or what you wanted (you may have been giving me info for Birthday Fiesta), and I'm sorry that I tossed all those messages into the trash.  I even erased my whole Profile because I didn't expect to be returning. 

Once I get everything straightened out with my Blog, I'll turn my attention to Birthday Fiesta.  I know that some birthdays have gone by, but I'll ask for belated birthday ecards to be sent to you.  I apologize for leaving that Group just hanging in the air like that.  I'll be getting in touch with a bunch of people, I'm sure, to ask for the required information.....which you probably already sent and which I threw away without even looking.  And if you happen to have been one of those unfortunates who just had a birthday, we'll get belated birthday ecards out to you as well once I get all the information.  Just please give me a little bit of time to get everything back on track.  I let you guys down, and I'm sorry about that. 

I also wanted to mention that I'm dropping the Cops and Robbers Group.  Almost everything posted in that Group is sent from my Blog, so it's basically a waste of time to be posting it in two different places when the members are people from my Blog neighborhood.  Lol.  I'll delete my name as the Hostess, and if anyone wants to take it over....go ahead.  Otherwise, I think that it closes out when the last member deletes their name from the membership of that Group. 

Okay, so off to work I go.  It'll be slow at first, but I'll get back into the swing of things shortly.  I'm sorry for anyone who had a birthday during this timeframe.  Hopefully it wasn't too many people.  Fingers crossed.  *smile*

Okay....post this message and also send it privately to the ones I know who wrote to me personally, fix my Profile back up, delete my membership from Cops and Robbers, read my messages and get that information down concerning birthdays, let the Birthday Fiesta members know about belated and upcoming birthdays, and then start to send out messages to people that I don't have the required information from (which, like I said, you may have sent and I just deleted.  I apologize).

Thanks, guys.  Sorry for causing any problems.  I'll get everything up and running as soon as I can.  Just give me a little time, please.  Thanks again.   ((((((my neighbors)))))))
