The Friday Edition: Goodbye

Till we meet again it was written
with thought it was done
a promise or a saying
we never know which one

Its not easy to say goodbye
when so many memories conflict with time
the albums of days and years forever frozen and inked combined.

Its not easy to say goodbye
when days are so long on printed paper
the big blocks a reminder of the days and nights to come.

Its not easy to say goodbye
when flowers from the ground grows and with grass it spreads
a stone the memory of what once was in silence to remain.

Its never easy to say goodbye
but there is always hope of views in the future
when time allows us or simply to remember
 in a prayer

Till we meet again it was written
with thought it was done
a promise or a saying
we never know which one.

To never forget
Always remember
We are only borrowed to each other
make it count

The Gift of Success

We all have this dream of riding on the gravy train, getting successful, building a name for ourselves and taking all the joy and pleasure we can grab from it. You know you worked hard and it was a painful process to get you here but then something unusual occurs. You start caring less and less, you start to take that hard work turning it into superiority, a crown you chose and wear. When you see the small people that stands down there, the same place you once stood, you disregard them. You just wave as the train passes, waving in royalty.

I think there are three things to focus on when you move up whether it's a promotion at work or even just landing a new career.

Success and Caring. 
Helping and giving back. 
Supporting and feeling included. 

So you made it but what about the rest. Who do you help and who do you throw away? Or from being someone who cared about everyone at work you now only have certain favorites that meets your standards, standards you support. You once made the coffee, now it feels like someone must bring the coffee to you.
You ignore, you stare, you criticize and sometimes when you do feel like it you will give a quick hello just to make a person feel they have a little bit of happiness thinking that they might mean something to you..

I think as I mentioned above, give back, help others who are still waiting for their ticket. Care about their success and think of ways that you can help them achieve their goals, don't just wave and think they will never make it. One day without your help or your assistance they will, because someone out there will help and maybe when you need someone, and your success has faded and the train ride has ended for you, you will expect someone to do what you were not bothered with..

Success and Caring.
Helping and giving back.
Supporting and feeling included. 

Every person, even the smallest person needs encouragement, support, a smile of kindness and just someone to show a little interest. The walk to success is a long one, so do whatever you can to be there for others and forget about the crown, you still have work to do.

Break a leg!

I recently saw the preview of Marvels new series S.H.I.E.L.D which will be coming to your screens late fall, we normally have to wait for stuff. The preview on Youtube was excellent and it looks like there is quite some interesting things to come, but I am not here to talk about that.

I woke up feeling stressed today because there is just so much happening at the moment that I do not always know how to place everything in folders from A-Z. But it got me thinking what if the world of television and movies started creating stories that would be interesting and that motivates at the same time. I know there are many such movies out there but I am referring to all the little stuff that becomes so big within our minds if we allow it. I have never done a screenplay before so I did a very small one to explain a different path.

EXT. WOODS. NIGHT

The wind was raging through the trees, rain pouring down as JESSICA ran towards the house slamming the door behind her.

INT. HOUSE. NIGHT

There was silence in the living room as the others looked at JESSICA soaking wet and shivering from shock.

MATT

What is going on? Are you alright?

STACY

It looks like you've seen a ghost.

JESSICA

We have to leave, now!

MATT

Tell us what is wrong?

JESSICA

I told both of you it was a bad idea and now it is after us.

MATT

JESSICA what are you talking about?

STACY

Are u referring to the Cave JESSICA, the cave with the bones? Oh you can be so silly sometimes. I think I am calling it a night  guys.

JESSICA

We did something, there is something out there, stuff that are not meant to be real. You have to believe me.

MATT

It is raining Jess, it is dark. Maybe it's just your imagination playing tricks on you.

JESSICA

There was a boy running through the forest, he looked like he jumped out of a fairy tale with leaves covering his body but I ignored it until I heard an old woman calling out for Snow White. Once again I thought it was just children playing, but then hiding within a stack of trees I saw the beast, a man like beast, half human, half animal.

MATT

JESSICA listen to me whatever you saw cant be real. Like you said it was most probably just children messing around. I think we all just need a good nights sleep.

STACY

Agree, so that some of us don't see something out of Peter Pan, the witch from snow white and the beast without his beauty.

INT.UPSTAIRS. NIGHT

Lightning flashed through the windows, small branches from nearby trees scratching against them. A slow knock on the door startled JESSICA and the others.

MATT

Who on earth could that be this time of the night?

WOLF

Let me in, let me in little friends or I will huff and puff and blow your house down.

STACY

Oh you've got to be freaking kidding me. 

MATT

Stop with your jokes and go home. Mommy is probably worried about you as it's way past your bedtime.

JESSICA

We should have left that cave alone. 

So this is what I came up with, silly I know, but this is before all the death scenes and stuff. What will come out at the end of this is focused on the paths that are chosen. Do you go looking around a cave that clearly says DO NOT ENTER. You always have a choice but normally our curiosity gets the better of us so we do go looking and sometimes we create problems and issues in our lives that aren't real. Like stress, what would a movie about stress be about...a stress monster that is destroying the world and it is up to the S.T.R.E.S.S.E.D team to deliver stress balls to everyone on the planet. If no one squeezes anymore, it is over. 

I know this is all so far fetched that it sounds ridiculous, I know that too but wouldn't it be nice to put the movie in and watch the stress team in action, how they defeat the bad guy once and for all. Is that not better than chocolates ad cookies or coffee and ice cream, cigarettes, alcohol and all the other bad habits we use to sooth the stress within us. I think so. 

I hope this makes at least a little sense as it does within this mind of mine. I know life is a stage, today I have broken my leg, allowed the fat lady to sing and watched the curtains fall. Luckily I have my stress ball.
