Purpose!

Do you ever sit and wonder what purpose you can make in ones lifetime, such as myself is thinking right now!  After my trip to Los Angeles, I wonder, what could be done for those in need in our own country!  Helping other countries is all well and good, but I wonder about the USA, the needs that are needed here.  Are we really doing enough for our own!  I know what your thinking, she goes on a trip and comes back and now she wants to change the world!  No, that's not what I want to do, I would just like to be able to lend a helping hand!   I really have never been around as many homeless people as I was in LA, and it really affected me to the very core of my soul.  I know you are probably thinking, like I always did, there is work for people, go get a job like everyone else.  I am now very ashamed of myself for thinking and feeling like that!  I realize now some people make there own problems and most people have no choice at all!  I figure(as much as its worth) that all the people I seen with all there belongings living in streets are not doing it by choice but because they have no choices, if we believe that these people want to live like that, than we must be crazy! I am confused and feeling useless right now, it is not a good feeling at all to have and I really need to find a way that I could help others in need or at least try! Most people live week to week like I do, you try the best you can with what you have, I worry so much about me and mine that I forget about them, (others a lot less fortunate than me).
Just a little compassion, really does not hurt anyone. Its time at least for me to think of others and not always about me and mine!

Still tired!

Do you believe, I am still exhausted from my LA trip, site seeing really wares you down.  Starting to get back a little more energy now, whew that reminds me need to take my vitamins after writing this blog, LOL maybe it will help. I forgot to tell you all, I went on a tour of Warner Brothers studio, learned a lot about sound stages and how they change everything. They shoot The Ellen show there and we sat in audience seats when guide told us how it is filmed each day!  The surprisee of the tour is when they took us to the old series set of the Friends , the cafe set where the cast would sit there and Lisa Kudrow would play and sing the Guitar!  The Guide took a picture of my family in the chair which is so cool! Like I said we ran around so much I keep forgetting little things we did!  My son climbed this mountain on Zuma beach and the pictures are so awesome and beautiful, and wait until I show you a picture of this sunset we experienced on the Sunset cruise we went on, the deepest orange I have ever seen so far in my life, other than a picture, was there right in front of my face!   Amazing!!!  I said it before and sorry I am saying it again, I needed that vacation so much!  I laughed till I hurt and we even recorded ourselves driving in the minivan we rented, there was six of us so we needed room! Now, for one minute picture this, 4 adults and 2 young men!  1-24yrs old and 1-19yrs old., for reasons we all know those two twain's don't mix, but on this trip it did and we had a ball! Overtired and all the running around and the traveling in a car with 6 people always make for good times and good laughs and I really needed that! Now back to the real world!
