A day like any other day..

My day started like any other day...boring and consisted of work. I am so tired right now and I do not feel like teaching my cardio class at TU. I know I should not be such a whiny butt...i just can not help it...eesh..wish me luck...i have more to tell you later..:) So...here is what has happened..i had a revalation. I finally realized how lucky i am and how real my luckiness truly is. :) I am so excited! :D

It's raining it's pouring..the old man is snoring...he went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning..

Rain rain...go away..come again another day..

How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!

How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout!

Across the window-pane
It pours and pours;
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like a river down the gutter roars
The rain, the welcome rain!

The sick man from his chamber looks
At the twisted brooks;
He can feel the cool
Breath of each little pool;
His fevered brain
Grows calm again,
And he breathes a blessing on the rain.

From the neighboring school
Come the boys,
With more than their wonted noise
And commotion;
And down the wet streets
Sail their mimic fleets,
Till the treacherous pool
Ingulfs them in its whirling
And turbulent ocean.

In the country, on every side,
Where far and wide,
Like a leopard's tawny and spotted hide,
Stretches the plain,
To the dry grass and the drier grain
How welcome is the rain!

In the furrowed land
The toilsome and patient oxen stand;
Lifting the yoke encumbered head,
With their dilated nostrils spread,
They silently inhale
The clover-scented gale,
And the vapors that arise
From the well-watered and smoking soil.
For this rest in the furrow after toil
Their large and lustrous eyes
Seem to thank the Lord,
More than man's spoken word.

Near at hand,
From under the sheltering trees,
The farmer sees
His pastures, and his fields of grain,
As they bend their tops
To the numberless beating drops
Of the incessant rain.
He counts it as no sin
That he sees therein
Only his own thrift and gain.

These, and far more than these,
The Poet sees!
He can behold
Aquarius old
Walking the fenceless fields of air;
And from each ample fold
Of the clouds about him rolled
Scattering everywhere
The showery rain,
As the farmer scatters his grain.

He can behold
Things manifold
That have not yet been wholly told,--
Have not been wholly sung nor said.
For his thought, that never stops,
Follows the water-drops
Down to the graves of the dead,
Down through chasms and gulfs profound,
To the dreary fountain-head
Of lakes and rivers under ground;
And sees them, when the rain is done,
On the bridge of colors seven
Climbing up once more to heaven,
Opposite the setting sun.

Thus the Seer,
With vision clear,
Sees forms appear and disappear,
In the perpetual round of strange,
Mysterious change
From birth to death, from death to birth,
From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth;
Till glimpses more sublime
Of things, unseen before,
Unto his wondering eyes reveal
The Universe, as an immeasurable wheel
Turning forevermore
In the rapid and rushing river of Time.





I'm so happy...oh so happy!!! :D

My life is wonderful and i could not ask for a better one. :) I have no regrets and i only look towards the future with a smile. People think that when times are super tough all they can do is cry and mope around. I feel that is a load of hogwash! It is possible to smile during tough times..you just have to stay positive. Thinking happy thoughts will get you far in life..i can promise you this. I have been through some tough situations and always come out on top. : ) Recently, i have had money problems, a pregnancy scare, car problems, and some wonderful family issues. It has been a long hard road..i have kept my chin up and taken life one day at a time. It is finally all coming together. My boyfriend..who has already said he wants to marry me someday...has gotten a job and is working towards joining the military. I am so proud of him. He wants to have a family with me someday and i want the same with him. I am so lucky to have that. We may be broke now, but that will all change in the future. I am in college now working towards my Phd in Psychology. He is going to get into school as well. I am so excited for the future. I know it will all take time...one day at a time. :) Step by step..day by day. The harshness of life can be hard core at times. You just have to roll with the puches. Never give up! Pick yourself up when you get knocked down. It is not fair to the poeple who love you for you to just sit around all day being depressed. Trust me..i have been like this before and my family was worried sick about me. There is always a place to turn when times are tough. Family, friends, therapists, or whatever is best for you. Some people prefer to speak to family, like myself. Others prefer a stranger. It was easier for me to speak to my mom or my boyfriend.

If anyone out there needs to talk..i am available. Just comment on here and we can talk. : ) I am Michelle. i am 21 years old. I love sports and i am a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo. Tell me about yourself..:)

Squeals from Hell

Have you ever had 6 puppies and 2 dogs? This is my first question to you. I currently have this chaos going on in my house. Ugh...it is so hard to deal with all of the noise. I know they are young, but wow they sure have mouths on them. Minnie is the smallest and she is the loudest..how is this possible? I do not understand it at all. I wish she would just keep quiet. I thought maybe it was because she was hungry. The other puppies don't always allow her to eat. Then i thought she was thirsty because they don't always allow her to drink. No...i tried to feed and water her little belly. She will not have it. She is just so stubborn and bratty. We have to give the puppies away soon. We can not keep them any longer. They are getting bigger and bigger, noisier and noisier. I am finally going to be able to give one away tomorrow. i am so excited because it is one of my friends who is taking him. Spotacus will have a home. :)
