It's Is MY Life

It's Is MY Life

My Life

Hello JazzLovers

It is such a beautiful Day today..

My head today is both looking back and looking forward,being home is very interesting..
I am so grateful for my life and the way I have lived it..but sometimes I think those who did not leave might be the lucky ones..It amazes me that a lot of people I know and have known all my life are still in the same place, I just can not figure out if they are happy,they say they are but there is a sadness in their eyes that can not be denied..The jokes are the same,the laughter a little brittle and too loud,slightly brittle,also basically doing the same thing..playing the same games..

Don't get me wrong I am not saying there is anything wrong with their lives,it was their choice and I can accept and live with that..I am making new friends and I am also a person of interest right now...(LOL) and I am also enjoying their company..Oddly enough they are interested in my life,and realize I am still the same person that left all those years ago..I am reconnecting with people that I enjoyed before I left and all of them also have traveled and have a lot to talk about..It is all positive and I am loving being home it was time..even reverting to my initials as I was called as a child and i realize there are people even in my family that don't know my name...Amazing!! One of the things I am discovering is I have never been invisible...Thank God I have never tried to hide my like.(People were paying attention !

I became an adult when I was molested by the school janitor when I was 6 years old, I vowed I would never be venerable ever again..that is when I decided to make my own way in this world...That is about to soon to lose innocence!! My whole life changed at that moment..I do still trust easily until it is broken and then it can never be regained,don't get me wrong I have friends in my life that would trust with my life and vise verso...But because of that incident my sense of awareness is is very high,and I can spot devious people a mile away..(The Book "Blink" explains it very well) which keeps my heart open to new people and experiences..

I plan to write about how my life has changed from the time I was 6 years old until now..and why I am happy with my life as it has been until today...My life has been fascinating I have done things I only dared to dream as a child, But I never felt I could not do anything I set my mind to do and I have never been afraid of hard work...I dared to dream bigger than what I knew...Life is for the living!! So go out there and get yourself some live Honey!!!

So let me try to tell you about it, just the fact that I am sitting here writing this post is a Mirical with in it's self... I went in for some test and woke up from a coma 4 days later!!

Now  in a coma a person can hear everything being said you just cannot respond, I heard the Dr. Say D-----P-----  will die tonighr..So I waited to die amazingly there was no fear,(I belive the journey just continues at a different level) But I did not die that night, I don't know if it was the first night or the 3rd night because I woke up on the 4th day wirh my best friend sitting by my bedside....

Nine Months later I am home with my Family and I feel fine...My Family have been remarkable in their Love and Care of me,,,My Thing have arrived and Iam seeting up my room as I like..so I am surronded by things I love..I am back in the area I grew up inand friends are so great in their joy of seeing me once more..It is Fantastic...I am also accepted just as I am now....But in the past I feltlike a "Stranger on This Earth"

So Jazzlovers Life is really for the Living and as the Old Folks use to say "Just keep Living Sugah" And "Never say Never". I am Very happy right now..I do miss my friends but a Group of us plan to meet in Amsterday{My Favorite City in The whole World}this summer..so there is something always to look forward to....!!!

Whitney Houston Is Gone on to Glory

Hello Jazzlovers.

I just wanted to add my voice to those saying goodbye to one of our greatest singers. Ms Whitney Houston.
I found her service to be very moving and I too shed some tears for One gone too soon...But we don't know God's Plan...
She will be greatly missed...
Rest now in piece now Whitney...

Much Love..

Langston Hughes

Bahrain


Hello JazzLovers

This is my Mood today....

Langston Hughes'


Mother to Son


Well, son, I'll tell you:

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor --

Bare.

But all the time

I'se been a-climbin' on,

And reachin' landin's,

And turnin' corners,

And sometimes goin' in the dark

Where there ain't been no light.

So boy, don't you turn back.

Don't you set down on the steps

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now --

For I'se still goin', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.





Until Next time Jazzlovers

Creativity By Alan Ashley Pitt

A Beautiful Memory

A Very Cold, Wet and Beautiful Day Here.


Hello JazzLovers

Here is where I am today!!!


 Creativity




The person who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before.



Creativity in living is not without its attendant difficulties, for peculiarity breeds contempt. And the unfortunate thing about being ahead of your time is that when people finally realize you were right, they’ll say it was obvious all along.



You have two choices in your life; you can dissolve into the mainstream, or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different, to be different, you must strive to be what no one else but you can be.



Alan Ashley-Pitt.

 
Well Jazz Lovers,
 
Until next time!

Happy New Year and Other Hype Which is Life?

Dusted living room!!


Hello Jazz Lovers a Sand Storm Day In Bahrain....


I say often that life is a facinating journey and it reminds me often!! I woke up and got an early morning laugh at just how funny life can be....My group of friends and I did our New years Ever gathering  Thursday Night because here they double the prices on New Years Eve, for the same old thing...We had a wonderful evening...Well I spent New years Eve cleaning the house from top to bottom...( I have a friend arriving for a month tomorrow..) My Friend Martyn did the same......Well this Morning we woke up to a Major Dust Storm!!!! Now everything is covered with enough dust to grow plants!!Martyn was upset to say the least !! I just had a good laugh...Because jazz Lovers that is really life!!! But if anyone thinks I am going to dust once more !!!!No Way, I will say to my friend Welcome to Bahrain!!!

I trully enjoyed the cleaning  yesterday, it was reflection time... I thought a lot about things and about the past and had some good Jazz going so it was a great day....Resolutions?? NoWay that is one of the things I have learned..a resolution is only good the day you make it!! I went to bed early and set the alarm for 11:50 PM, I woke up poured a glass of wine and waited until 2 minutes to 12 and called my new love, I wanted it to be the last voice I heard in 2010 and the first I heard in 2011, I am a hopeless romantic!!! Went back to bed and woke up to a dust storm and a belly laugh....Life is an amazing journey.."The best laid plans"etc..

So Jazz lovers I start this year with much Joy in my heart because I have learned you can not plan life you just have to live it..and be open to what ever it brings you way...This Universe is an amazing place to be...embrace it and enjoy every minute, spread love and it will definitly come back to you!!! I have Friends all over the world that I love and they love me just as i am...I have so much to be grateful for and that is the feeling I am bringing into 2011...Where even a dust storm is beautiful...

Now i need to finish my blackeyed peas!!
