The Precious Commodity

Time. It is more precious than Gold, Money, Diamonds, and even more precious Oil. None of the prior could ever buy time, you can not purchase a day, not even an hour. Sadly we do not realize this very important fact when we are young enough to truly enjoy the full value of it. We say things like "later" or "tomorrow". Some how we wake up and it isn't just tomorrow, it is tomorrow and 20 yrs passed by. People often ask "Where does the time go?". I understand now why they ask that question, because they would love to find it. To have it back and to truly embrace every moment that was enjoyed and each one that was missed. At 43 I find myself trying to remember everything my parents told me as I was growing up, all the things I didn't want to hear at the time. Trying to remember everything the tone and sound of their voices. I am blessed I can still see and hear my parents everyday. And still, trying to remember is complicated and difficult to say the least. If only I had absorbed every moment at that time, placed it where it would always be known, if only. Now, I see where middle age comes into play. I want to remember everything about my children's childhoods. I lived right with them. We played together, learned together, and enjoyed every moment together. Well, maybe not every moment. I wonder what they will remember. Will they remember my voice and the words I said? Will the values I taught them stay with them? At their most trying times, will they hear my voice in their head saying " I love you. Nothing in this world will ever change that. It will all be OK." I hope they are still young enough for me to stress the value of time to them.

I really like this song. Que Sera Sera by Connie Francis , I like her version much better than Doris Day's. Listen to the words and just know that whatever will be , will be.

Feel Good Friday 02/12/10 Andy Gibb

Feel Good Friday with Andy Gibb!! Andy Gibb was the youngest of the Gibb brothers. This song was written by all four brothers and went platinum. Mr. Gibb died 5 days after his 30th birthday. His music, looks, and charm have been missed every since.

Alienation of Affection

According to the National Enquire, John Edwards has asked his mistress to marry him.

Knowing that Elizabeth Edwards is an attorney I am HOPING that she has remembered the law regarding alienation of affection. I also hope she files paperwork and subpeonas the "the sex tape", ya know for evidence. As if the child born from this affair isn't enough evidence of it.

As of 2008 there are only six states that recognize the alienation of affection law, they are Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah.
From wiki "At common law, alienation of affections is a tort action brought by a deserted spouse against a third party alleged to be responsible for the failure of the marriage. The defendant in an alienation of affections suit is typically an adulterous spouse's lover, although family members, counselors and therapists or clergy members who have advised a spouse to seek divorce have also been sued for alienation of affections."

In North Carolina it seems the juries really can be generous.
From Rosen Law Firm:
"Even in this decade, the trend of generosity has continued. In August of 2000, a Burke County judge awarded a devastated wife $86,250 for alienation of affection and $15,000 for criminal conversation, totaling $101,250. In May of 2001, in Richmond County, the jury answered the issues of alienation of affection and criminal conversation in favor of the scorned husband and awarded him compensatory damages of $50,000 plus punitive damages of $50,000. Another distraught husband, in Mecklenburg County, received an award of $1.4 million in May, 2001 comprised of $910,000 in compensatory damages and $500,000 in punitive damages.The jury found the doctor who had had an affair with this man’s wife liable for both alienation of affection and criminal conversation. After an appeal the original award of compensatory damages was reversed, the punitive damages award, however, was upheld."

I really would LOVE to Elizabeth Edwards put this "woman" in court , infront of the world and sue her for every penny she planned on taking from Elizabeth's family!!

Feel Good Friday!!! Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me. I think this song pretty much sums up anything I could say. I hope you all have had people in your lives that have you loved this much. I am very blessed and very, very thankful that I have. You are my strength.

With Love,

Feel Good Friday 01/15/10

If you got worries, then you're like me.
Don't worry now, I won't hurt you.
And,if you got worries, then you're like me.
Don't worry now, I won't desert you.

And, If you get a chance, you put your dancing shoes on.
The country's calling, and thats where I'm going.
Don't know if you're in my way, but, I'll take you along.
I'll take you along.

It is Feel Good Friday!! Might sound odd but, I heard this song on commercial. And I liked IT! The singer is Langhorne Slim the song "Worries". Enjoy!
