Prayer update Thank all of you who prayed for my wife. She's back home where she belongs. Again Thank you Thank you Thank you.

A poem I wrote during one of the toughest times in my life. How much fight is left in a man How much fight is left in a man when he thinks he's taken all that he can How much longer can a man fight when he's no longer sure if the cause is right. How much fight is left in a man when no one seems to understand that the voices running wild in his head are telling him that he'd be better off dead. How much fight is left in a man when he's no longer confident in his own plan when all the chips seem to be down when he feels as if he's the city clown. I'll tell you how much fight is left in this man No matter the cause no matter the plan, Life is a battle I hope you can see I'll continue to fight until I gain the victory.

Please keep my wife of 21+ years in your prayers. Yesterday the ambulance rushed her to the emergency room. She has pneumonia. While there they'd found out that her blood could is below 7 so about 10-minutes.or so ago they started giving her a blood transfusion. Because of all of her autoimmune diseases they decided to really check her out and I guess they found out through her stool sample that she's bleeding internally so when they are finished with the blood transfusion they are going to do a colonostapy and an endoscopy to locate where the bleeding is. I'm not going to lie. I have faith, but both of us are afraid. I've been with the lady I love for 21 plus years and I can't imagine not having her in my life. Thank you for your prayers.

Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life Book Review "Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life" by Sandy Gallagher emphasizes the profound impact of our perspective on our overall well-being and life experiences. Key takeaways: * Perspective shapes reality: Our interpretation of events, not the events themselves, largely determines our emotional and behavioral responses. * Negative perspectives limit: Pessimistic or self-limiting beliefs create obstacles, hindering personal growth and happiness. * Shifting perspective is possible: Through conscious effort and intentional practices, we can cultivate more positive and empowering perspectives. * Actionable steps: The book provides practical techniques for shifting perspective, such as mindfulness, gratitude practices, reframing challenges, and focusing on solutions. In essence, the book encourages readers to: * Become aware of their current perspectives: Identify negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs. * Challenge and reframe those perspectives: Question the validity of negative assumptions and seek alternative, more positive interpretations. * Cultivate positive habits: Practice gratitude, mindfulness, and self-compassion to foster a more optimistic outlook. * Take action: Translate shifted perspectives into positive changes in behavior and choices. By consciously altering their perspectives, individuals can navigate challenges more effectively, cultivate greater resilience, and ultimately create a more fulfilling and joyful life. Core Concepts: * The Power of Perception: Gallagher delves into the profound impact of our individual interpretations on our reality. She argues that we don't see the world as it is; we see it as we are. Our beliefs, assumptions, and past experiences filter our perceptions, shaping our emotions, behaviors, and ultimately, our lives. * Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs: The book explores how deeply ingrained negative beliefs (e.g., "I'm not good enough," "I'm always unlucky," "The world is against me") can sabotage our happiness and success. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and challenging these limiting beliefs.
