Life does not happen to me. What I experience in life is the sum of choices I make in my life that has brought me to where I am today. If I don’t like where I am then I need to make different choices. The responsibility lies with me and no one else.

The Gift
Dedicated to my father
A young man
dreaming his mother’s dream
a land beyond ocean’s depth
where freedom and adventure live
A young man with his bride
chasing his dream of another land
crossing the stormy angry Atlantic
fearing together they dare a new life
Strange culture strange language
scared and lonely struggling to live the dream
pursuing love pursuing hope
determined to give the gift
A daughter is born
learning the old ways with the new
adapting, growing, blossoming
in this land given to her Canada
Remembering my roots
remembering my history
embracing a new culture
creating the future, my gift

On the thought of PRAYERS
Although I like to analyze, plan and organize my future, thinking I can somehow control my path the reality is that when I ask the Universe/God for something I have to be diligent to remain completely open and aware. All eyes and senses completely wide open and alert, ready to receive.
Just maybe you will be presented with a choice you never thought was possible. Just maybe it might be too good to be true. Or just maybe you might learn something new about yourself.
The key is that you need to watch and be open for solutions or ideas that you would never have thought or created for yourself. And then you must explore them. If you don’t then the Universe/God will accept that you were not ready for what you were asking for.
