Another Day Under the Sun

Hey everyone, life is still life as it was yesterday. Right now I'm sitting home working on a children's book that I'm writing and spending time with my son. I wanted to take the time out to tell you all about my two sites:

Just Jabbing Along....

Do I start by saying hello or saying my name or asking you what's up? I guess I'll do all three. Hello there, this is Leukem. What's up with ya'. I'm sitting here doing what I like to do all the time.....on the computer. Blogging is something new for me but I'm sure it won't take long for me to get use to it. I like writing, that's what I do on a constant basis. I am the owner of "Shala's Floetic Pen" and that's all I do there is write poetry.....personalized poetry.

As you stepped outside this morning, did you look to the right, to the left, in front of you, in back of you.....did you? It's getting nasty out here. Gas prices rise, the price of milk ain't lowered in years, murder is on the rise and the weather is just a little something strange. I stepped outside and did all that I just asked. I then took a moment and thought to myself, "What the f*** is going on?" I don't remember the days being as crazy as this. I don't remember not being able to ride on $10 for days and days. As my friend....she says, "This is the time of the great depression." Just at that moment I started addressing what was in front of my eyes. The lack of enough monies to make it through the day, so stressful you lack the positive words to say, just wondering what will be upon the plate that is served before you, what thoughts wonder through the minds of the children who depends on you, how can one work when you're constantly worrying about the future, why is my child not paying attention.....i can't afford what i must pay for this tutor, why am i arguing with a child half my age, why do i have to settle for making minimum wage, why can't i go out and get exactly what it is i want, when did life began to fall apart or get so hard, when did the struggles began, why are most of the finest men locked down in the penn.

As we live life, we come across many questions. Some of these questions we have the answers to and some of them we don't. Some of these questions we search for the answers and there are some questions in which we won't. But no matter what.....we are forever here upon this earth and life goes on day to day, hour by hour, minute by minute. We must try to find some way to have a positive outlook by first living for yourself (along with God's guiding light). No one else has to live with our choices.

"Everything you endure in life be it positive or negative is a blessing."
