thats life
thats what all the people say. thats how the song goes. for awhile every thing seems to come up roses then bam youre wondering what the hell happened but a lot events in your life have their roots in something that happen earlier in your life you might have been too busy to notice or thought of something as unimportant at the moment so while you are injoying yourself that loose thread is unraveling into a big hole so you,re down trying to fix a little problem that seemed to have become a big problem overnight its hard to cover all the loose ends so you are caught in this yin/yang of life the good the bad ,the happiness,the sadness,.the sweet the sour. this can be very frustrating to some people so they either become very religious or alcoholics they say times are bad but____(put diety here)will see me through.or they say i drink to forget the pain. the best thing to do is to buckup be brave and push on because life is not without problems and before you know it you,ll be back on top in june

fool on the hill
a messenger came to a man one day and said to him that one day the waters in the village well wound change and make all the people mad. the man went among the villagers and told them what he had heard the people mocked him and said our people have been drinking water from this well for generations you must be mad he thought about it and decided that he would take some water from the well before it was changed and go live live on an mountain and wait until the waters changed. this is what he did. he stayed there until the waters changed then went down to the village the people were acting strange to him they seemed deranged but when he talked to them they would ask why are you so strange why are you talking and acting so crazy. so the man went back to his mountain but after a time he began to feel lonely so he went back down to the village and drank some of the water from the well and he began to act just like the people of the village when he went to talk to the people they said thank god your are cured before we could not understand you. you were acting very strange. i wrote this from memory but believe i got the basic story right it can be applied to a lot of events that has been happening lately. dont drink the water

mothers day
Mother's Day in the United States was first proclaimed in 1870 in Boston by Julia Ward Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation, and Howe called for it to be observed each year nationally in 1872. As originally envisioned, Howe's "Mother's Day" was a call for pacifism and disarmament by women. Early "Mother's Day" was mostly marked by women's peace groups. A common early activity was the meeting of groups of mothers whose sons had fought or died on opposite sides of the American Civil War.
The first known observance of Mother's Day in the U.S. occurred in Albion, Michigan on 13 May 1877, the second Sunday of the month. According to local legend, Albion pioneer, Juliet Calhoun Blakeley, stepped up to complete the sermon of the Rev. Myron Daughterty, who was distraught because an anti-temperance group had forced his son and two other temperance advocates to spend the night in a saloon and become publicly drunk. In the pulpit, Blakeley called on other mothers to join her. Blakeley's two sons, both travelling salesmen, were so moved that they vowed to return each year to pay tribute to her and embarked on a campaign to urge their business contacts to do likewise. At their urging, in the early 1880s, the Methodist Episcopal Church in Albion set aside the second Sunday in May to recognize the special contributions of mothers.
n 1907 Mother's Day was first celebrated in a small private way by Anna Jarvis in Grafton, West Virginia, to commemorate the anniversary of her mother's death two years earlier on 9 May 1905. Jarvis's mother, also named Anna Jarvis, had been active in Mother's Day campaigns for peace and worker's safety and health. The younger Jarvis launched a quest to get wider recognition of Mother's Day. The celebration organized by Jarvis on 10 May 1908 involved 407 children with their mothers at the Andrew's Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton (this church is now the International Mother's Day Shrine). Grafton, West Virginia is the place recognized as the birthplace of Mother's Day. The following campaign to recognize Mother's Day was financed by clothing merchant John Wanamaker. As the custom of Mother's Day spread, the emphasis shifted from the pacificism and reform movements to a general appreciation of mothers. The first official recognition of the holiday was by West Virginia in 1910. A proclamation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day was signed by U.S. president Woodrow Wilson on 14 May 1914.
A tradition calls for the wearing of carnations on Mother's Day—a red one if one's mother is alive, white if she has died, and pink if one is not certain.
