Cindylou's Dream Come True -- Welcome to my Dream

Me And Family,Love You

Me And My Family, I Will Always Love You.

Hi to all my Family. I have tried to put together a website for all of us to share, as well as anyone you would like to share it with. There is I am sure much more that I will put in as I get them, especially pictures of the whole family in general. I welcome all suggestions or pictures you may have, as I know there are many more out there, I just don't have them, but I can put them in. As of right now I have covered about all the biggest things good and not as good, but the Good Lord gave us the strength to endure the bad, I certainly thank Him for that. We have a wonderful family, and we can pull together for any given thing we may have to face, only for the gift of Love we all have. We can look back and be so very Thankful there was that capacity to "Love", a gift from our Mom, Dad, Children, and Grandchildren, and all of our own families.

I from the bottom of my Heart want to say, I HAVE SHED MANY TEARS TRYING TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. "I LOVE YOU ALL FROM THE DEEPEST PART OF MY HEART AND SOUL." We, none of us say that enough, this world is moving at a rapid pace, and it is the outside world that keeps families as close as once was in many lives. I hope in some small way, this may bring back some Love and Concern, that one day we may not be able to tell that someone we Love, that we do. To alot of us, it seems only yesterday we were throwing Mud Pies. Today we are lucky to be able to make one.

This I Dedicate to you ALL. "I LOVE YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU"

READ THIS, LET IT SINK IN, THEN CHOOSE HOW YOU START YOUR DAY
TOMORROW.

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate.
He is always in a good mood and always
has something positive to say.

When someone would ask him how he was doing,
he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be
twins!"

He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day,
Michael was there telling the employee how to look
on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious,
so one day I went up to Michael and asked him,
"I don't get it! You can't be a positive person
all of the time.

How do you do it?"

Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say
to myself, you have two choices today.

You can choose to be in a good mood or
you can choose to be in a bad mood.
I choose to be in a good mood.

Each time something bad happens,
I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to
learn from it.
I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining,
I can choose to accept their complaining or...
I can point out the positive side of life.
I choose the positiv! e side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about
choices. When you cut away all the junk,
every situation is a choice.

You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.

The bo! ttom line:

It's your choice how you live your life."

I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to
start my own business.
We lost touch, but I often thought about him
when I made a choice about life instead of
reacting to it.

Several years later,
! I heard that Michael was involved in a serious
accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive
care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods
placed in his back.

I saw Michael about six months after the
accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied,
"If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see
my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds,
but I did ask him what had gone through his mind
as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was
the well-being of my soon to be born daughter, "
Michael replied.

"Then, as I lay on the ground,
I remembered that I had two choices:
I could choose to live or I could choose to
die.

I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?"
I asked.

Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great.

They kept telling me I was going to be fine.
But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw
the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses,

I got really scared.
In their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I
needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting
questions at me," said Michael.

"She asked if I was allergic to anything.
"Yes, I replied."
The doctors and nurses stopped working as they
waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and
yelled, "Gravity."

Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing
to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not
dead."

! Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his
doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day we have the
choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:34

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about
yesterday.

I had two choices now:

1. Ignore it.

2. Share it with the people I care about.

You know the choice I made
