Have you ever been reclusive or illusive?
Well it's time to come out of your shell. There's a whole new world outside that awaits. The air is fresh and crisp, the birds are a chirpping, and the kids running about with glee.
Your're not a vampire are you? Maybe you are. If that is the case, you are excused from this. For the rest of us, it truly is time to make a move and literally, move on. Time and life is a wasting. Our clock only has so many clicks. When it stops, you nor I know.
This I know for sure. We were put here to accomplish something, each one of us, in our own special way. Yes, each one of us are special, perhaps special cases, but special nonetheless. So, whatever held you back so far, break loose from those shackles and make your entrance, NOW!
Do that which you only dreamed or imagined. It's doable but only by you. You are special, so go forth my brother and sister, time waits for no one...

Random thoughts on that which could be...
"Ordinary" people doing an "extraordinary" job
To achieve, one must reach beyond ones comfort zone
You can, if you think you can
We are limited only by our inability to visualize the achievement
If it is to be, it is up to me
If you can conceive, you can achieve
Ouside of the box is a beautiful and mysterious world of the unknown
Be afraid, it helps us to grow
The fastest way to go nowhere is to be static
Have a dream, announce it daily, visualize it, taste it; now go about your business
The creative mind awakes when we are at rest
It helps but it doesn't
To achieve, one must reach beyond ones comfort zone
You can, if you think you can
We are limited only by our inability to visualize the achievement
If it is to be, it is up to me
If you can conceive, you can achieve
Ouside of the box is a beautiful and mysterious world of the unknown
Be afraid, it helps us to grow
The fastest way to go nowhere is to be static
Have a dream, announce it daily, visualize it, taste it; now go about your business
The creative mind awakes when we are at rest
It helps but it doesn't

4th of July, dream or nightmare?
Take a moment to reflect upon what you may have taken for granted. Look around, really look and see with unjaded eyes. What if the things you now enjoy were to vanish into thin air?
You own nothing, you have little food, no money, perhaps no roof over head, no freedom of speech, no fair government, no rights. You have nothing, nothing...Yank! It was only a brain fart, a bad daydream, not really reality, or was it?
Don't think it couldn't happen. Maybe our life as we now know it is really a dream after all and reality is our living nightmare. Hmmmm...Don't forget about the people that have provided us with the gift of freedom and the "good life". It's the birthday of our country! Have a happy and safe 4th!!!

229 Years old, The Fourth of July... And still not forgotten...
THE 4TH OF JULY
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties topay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: Freedom is never free!
