When do you give ?

It seems the powers that be are particularly amused by trying the human spirit.

As I type, Mandy and Christy are dealing with two different vehicle problems and a (hopefully patient) tow truck driver.

And somewhere else, a young lady is dealing with the fact that doctors have decided not to operate on her mother, 48, who has been diagnosed with a cancer that has spread through her body with reckless disregard.

I’d like to be seated at the table when the gods decide who the lucky contestant will be, this go round.

In the past few weeks I have been pretty reflective and have taken an introspective look at what I have and want from life.

Recently, a chihuahua has joined the family and though it seems now, a weird segue, I'm painfully reminded that I wasn't home when my first dog died.

Didn't live in the area when the second was put down either‚ victim of a tumor.

Forget regret or life is yours to miss; Can't change the past; But I can damn sure sculpt the future.

So I bid farewell any notion of relocation in the near future; Good bye Harrisburg, Farewell Family Video.

I'll stay right here, for the time being. Com'on ye mighty powers give me your best shot. At least here I have wonderful friends and family to keep me grounded and sane.

If only I can do the same for them. An-e please hurry, Western PA needs you.

I went skydiving I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper, And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
