Always Believe in Yourself and in Your Dreams

In the pursuit of any dream,
there will be moments
when it seems that
the dream is lost.
it is then that you must have faith
in the person that you are.
believe that you have
the ability overcome
any obstacle standing in your way,
and when your dream comes true,
you will realize then
what a stronger person
you have become.

humour

"Mama,"said her little six-year-old daughter,
"please button my dress."
"You will have to do it yourself,dear,"was the reply.
"mother's too lousy."
"oh,dear!"exclaimed the little girl,
"I don't know what I'd do without myself."

the tender time of sand

rain washed the sides of tranquility I was playing with

the wet sands of departure

dreaming of the colorful journeys.Felt like missing something.

In the garden an intimate tablecloth was spread.

something in the middle of the tablecloth,

like a shining perception:

A bunch of grapes

ended all guesses.

mending the silence confused me.

I noticed that there lived the tree.

when there lives the tree one obviously should be.

one should be and follow the track of narration

to the blank text.alas,

O colorful desperation!

Baghdad security crackdown seriously curbs killings of US soldiers
MIL-IRAQ-US SOLDIERS Baghdad security crackdown seriously curbs killings of US soldiers
BAGHDAD, March 14 (KUNA) -- The rate of killings of US troops in Iraq has been on the decline, down by 60 percent, since the launch of the new security measures in Baghdad, according to statistics revealed by the Multi-National Force -Iraq Combined Press Information Centre.Only 17 members of the US military in Iraq have been killed since February 14 till March 13, compared to 42 from January 13 to February 13; the rate was on the decline during the first month of the security crackdown, compared to a month before.Two of the 17 soldiers died at US Baghdad camps of non-combat causes.The remarkable decrease in killings among the US troops came at a time when more of these troops were deployed in the Iraqi capital, especially in districts previously regarded as extremely hazardous for them such as Al-Sadr City, Al-Azamiyah, and Al-Doura.Meanwhile, US attacks on insurgent strongholds north of Baghdad curbed attacks against helicopters. Before the new security plan, many such craft were downed leaving 20 soldiers dead.The US army in Iraq had earlier said that sectarian fighting and violence in Baghdad had dropped sharply, by about 80 percent, since the launch of the plan.The statistics excluded US troops killed in other governorates such as Al-Anbar, Diyala, and Salahiddin.As to the latest human losses, the US army announced Wednesday that two American soldiers had been killed, one in southern Baghdad and the other northeast of the capital.(end) ahh.msaKUNA 141130 Mar 07NNNN

Live one day at a time
amore loving and better person.

We cannot change the past:

we just need to keep

the good memories

from the mistakes we've made.

we cannot predict the future;

we just need to hope and pray

for the best and what is right,

and believe that's how it will be.

we can live a day at a time,

enjoying the present

and always seeking to become

fear of death/life after death.
although we don't like to admit it ,one day our life will end.
-How do you feel about it?
I feel terrible .
-Are you afraid of death ?
yes,I am afraid of death.
-And if you are ,where does it come from ?
I think it comes from my theologicaln teachings and what I've done in this world till now. beside I don't know what will happend after death.
-so ,...we think it,s because death is something uncertain .As if you fall into a big ,deep hole and you don't know what will be there at the end.that is exactly the right question,it;s sure that .
-There will be something after life.but what?!?
we don;t certainly know.but as we have learnled in our theological teachings it depends on how we have lived on the earth and what we have done before death.
-Rebirth?
maybe a kind of rebirth.
-A kind of paradise?
I'm not sure.
-Our just nothing, like an endless sleep wathout any drean?
I don't think so.
-Yes,you get afraid of it, but it's important to think about death, because:what is life without it?
I think life is meaningless without thinkny about death.
