I Have Been Mistaken
Nobody Is Really Sure
Egg on my face
There is something you should know
I believed and trusted the people I knew
Thinking the knowledge they have learned
Served them well and could help me too
Their traditional philosophy doesn't help me
They believe the world is gone to pot
The world is unable to come back or be saved
They have given up hope
I disagree
All I see is many causes
The friction just keeps building
Once you are convinced there is no alternative
You stop seeing the possibilities
Today is not the day
If you look at all the old fairy tales
There were challenges
Solutions come to light
I believe real life can also be like a classic
We all face struggles day to day
No matter what the odds
We search to find a way
People like to promote fear and anger
Looking at peoples backgrounds
Your own family history
Everything from religion to nationalities
We have to rise above the problems that we deal with
Concentrate on the things we have mastered
Through that expertise
We can and will persevere
Bringing together new ideas
Letting the past slide
Fixing what we can
Reshaping our current situation
To reflect our new position
Satisfaction of completing what we started
We all can do this
Together once again
We start with one successful day
Leading the way
To each better day

Michael -Milec For years we are taught to listen and do what you are told. Then when we get older as we do certain things we are further instructed to do them more specifically. To the finest details. We realize we can do it differently. Our own way. Which might be quicker, faster and better. Soon we study closely some of our rituals, beliefs and routines and wonder to continue or change. Life is full of experiences good and bad. I think it is how we accept each experience and find a way to improve ourselves no matter how difficult it may seem. Showing love towards our friends, neighbors and family in the process. Thank you for all your comments and support. Have a wonderful afternoon.

Sounds familiar, and we all been there: facing "ouch's" of life, learning new hard lesson and move on. Just recently I had to repose on my FB, just to regain the inner peace (again)- "One of the hardest things you will ever have to do, my dear, is to grieve the loss of a person who is still alive..."
Be of good cheer my friend, live enthusiastically.
