This is my new little kitty! His name is Tao, and he was dropped off at the shelter. Strays get 10 days, if the owner does not show up or is not found, the cats get euthenized :( HE served his 10 days, his mother was E-ed. Since he was not a canidate for adoption (because of the boss) he would of been E-ed too. EXCEPT, I fell in love with the little kitty <3 He is a sweetheart and Jeremy loves him!! ~ how is that for a happy story? I saved him from death-row :/ - :)
If you ever need to get rid of your animals, PLEASE try and do it yourself! The chances of your animal getting placed up for adoption at a shelter (and these are usually county ran) are slim to NONE! Would you want to be the one to put your own animal to sleep forever? IT's not fun at ALL. It's sad and heartbreaking to be a witness... also spay and neuter your pet. There are people that bring in litters at a time, (we see at least 3 litters a day come in and that equals a LOT per week!) Sorry for ranting, but people need to understand the overpopulation of UNWANTED animals.

I started a new job on Monday (the 7th) I am now an Animal Care Technician. Downfall of the job : I witness the MANY animals that are put to sleep each day. It's disturbing, and I have had troubles sleeping since Monday. I really hope that goes away. Just another realization that proves the many of the populations majority to be murderers and selfish. Nothing new there! Everyday is different though, which keeps the job interesting.
Other than that, college starts Monday (the 14th). College Algebra & Speech. Then after completely this semester, one other math class to go and I will officially be finished with my general studies. Only took almost 4 years, which is 2 years too many, but it's more than a lot of single mothers can say they have done!
enough ranting...
I must go and get my books from the bookstore :)

Your Personality Is Like Ecstasy |
 You're usually feeling the love for the world around you - you want to hug everyone. And while you're usually content to sit back and view the world with wonder... Sometimes you're world becomes very overwhelming and a little scary. |

direct link --- to the video on google
ahhh ! The video recorder on my phone is horrible! They looked so much prettier to the eye. I thought they were going to send them off at the usual place, only to find out they now display them from somewhere else :( They were going off behind/above the flag and the shuttle "Discovery" launched earlier today which made the day a LOT better <3

"Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful."
-- Norman Vincent Peale
"Your attitude determines your altitude!"
-- Denis Waitley
"A great attitude does much more than turn on the light in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed."
-- Earl Nightingale
"If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful. If you admire successful people, you create a positive force field of attraction that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that you want to be."
-- Brian Tracy

A star is born as another one dies,
yet the old continues to shine its light into a world of time,
giving an illusion of an existing reality.
Know deeply, life is an ever renewing phenomenon,
existing far beyond boundaries of time.
Life is a new star born in your heart at each moment.
Once this is seen clearly,
you will know that past events,
whether you consider them to be from this life or past incarnations,
are no longer a reality.
Look deeply into your heart to find your truth and let that truth become illuminated by the guiding light of your new star.
As your new star shines forth,
give freely of the love you find in its light;
past will then no longer appear so real.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -- Frank Herbert Dune
"Do not give any time to your past, you can't change what happened 5 minutes ago." -- Jan Ruhe
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." -- Martin Luther
"Fear of failure or success is one and the same. Both are fear of exposure. Not of our strengths, but of our weaknesses." -- Kevin W. McCarthy
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature."-- Anne Frank

What You Need to Keep in Mind
1. Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.
2. It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.
3. Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!
4. It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
5. Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
6. Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
7. Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
8. Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
9. Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
10. Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
11. Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
12. You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
13. Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
14. Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
15. Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

What Your Soul Really Looks Like |
 You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or even a completely different life. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. Your feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself. Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. |

Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight, it'll crush, hold it too loose, it'll fly....
~Unknown.
You're My Butterfly
You are the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so
Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know?
Your minds full of everything
That I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
Your're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly
Lyrics/Song - Lenny Kravitz
