Just a thought

Saw this today and thought I would post it here Please note who said it at the end :)

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.... See MoreYou cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

Hello!

Hello everyone well as you know it has been for ever since I have posted anything. I suppose with all things considered things are going well. There are ups and downs. I think life always seems to balance it self out what I mean by that is I am content about different parts of my life now then I was say 2 or 3 years ago. My happiness has shifted from one part of my life to the other. This last year to year and a half as far as work has pretty much sucked. I did my 2009 taxes and as it turns out my income for 2009 was as low as it was in 1996. I know I know don't look a gift horse in the mouth be thankful you have a job well and I am. But that will only get you so far. When taking into account for inflation I am making far less then I was in 1996. And to be very frank I don't see things with this economy getting better anytime soon the administration for sure is not helping things.


There is an up side in all this negitive talk..... There is a marriage coming this summer I am very much looking forward to spending the rest of my life with the woman I love I could not ask for a better woman. We also just got back from a vacation to Georgia and then to Florida to spend some time with my mother and father. And although in Florida it was COLD! We still had a good time and it was nice to be able to relax a little bit.

And while we were in Georgia we had some pictures taken some of you have seen them but I thought I would post a link here take a look if you are so inclined. Amy's sister in-law is a professional and has her own studio.
