LIFE

I had to take the POEM that was on this PAGE Down.
It was an inspiring POEM but I did not obtain the copyright
from the author. I thought it was really good so I posted 
it here.   Well, It was sent to me in an email from a
co-worker in the office; without the Author's name 
properly stated.  Normally, I would just put "AUTHOR 
Unknown" at the end of the article.. I completely 
forgot to do it here.

So far so good until I got an email from a law firm...
The LAWYER asked me to take this POEM down within
3 days or face the lawsuit... Oh, he gave me an 
alternative way to keep the posting up... He told me 
to send him $200.00 for the copyright fees..    Well, 
I wrote back to him and asked him to tell me where 
this so call POEM was ...at that time I received 
his email, I had no clue! 

I also stated that I have created several web sites 
and have been working on it and providing this FREE 
services for YEARs.... I said I have 100 and 100 of 
web pages .. that I created and maintained ... hee 
hee hee ...... It is true.... Well, I have not heard 
from him yet.. and it has been more than 3 days.. 
I hope I don't get a SUMMON to appear in court ... 
hee hee hee...

I would have paid the $200.00 if I have the money 
but I have spend $1000 and $1000 of my own money for
these web sites and I still need to take care of 
the people who helped me with it... MY MONEY will 
GO to them first..the college kids who helped me, 
the editors and friends who volunteered and 
contributed their writing and their time for FREE... 
I need to save money and rather pay them.. before 
I pay for any articles to some rich Lawyer who 
represents any Unknown Authors.... 

Sorry about that .... THANKS for the memory and a
beautiful POEM  but that is how I feel, and being 
so poor  .... . I rather create my own poem ..
hee hee hee... So this is my version of what life is
all about...  (Oh, I did not have a LAWSUIT and 
LAWYER in there .. hee hee life is about being sued  
and sueing someone? NOT!!!)

Ok.. That's is the scoop.. Now I am taking the
OTHER poem down and replaced it with my own...
Honest, I wrote it today...while I was having 
coffee... Hope I don't get another lawyer's 
email, claiming that someone else is the 
author..acckk..I would FREAK OUT hee hee hee ... 

Feel free to share it..

What IS LIFE All About?

Life is about family, children, parents, 
brothers, sisters,grandparents, grandchildren, 
aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, 
in-laws ...so on and so on...

Life is about hard work, sacrifice, and options.

Life is about living, laughing, playing and 
friends.

Life is about choices that we made and the 
freedom to make these choices.

Life is about who you are deep down inside 
of you.

Life is about owing up to your responsibilities.

Life is about owing up to your obligations.

Life is about keeping your words .. say what 
you mean and mean what you say.

Life is about running away... sometimes you 
need to runaway  but remember the saying...
NO Matter where you go ..there you are....

Life is about who you are to your family, 
your children, your parents, your brothers, 
your sisters, your friends.. and on and on....

Life is about joy, sorrow, hope, faith, 
destiny, and love.

Life is about your heart, your mind, your 
soul, your body, your spirit .....  
all of your being.

Life is not about making money or keeping 
money...Life is about  thinking, feeling,
sharing and caring and giving...Sharing of 
one's mind, sharing of one's spirit. Sharing 
of one's body, heart and soul. Giving of 
oneself, giving of time, giving of one's 
heart and soul and yes, even giving your 
money away too ....

Life is about keeping your heart, your mind, 
your soul, your body and your spirit intact; 
and trying to make them working together 
congruently. For the sake of YOUR whole
BEING ....  For if and when you ever lack 
any or one.. of these  ...then your life will 
not and can not be completed and fulfilled....

But if you ever feel that your life is 
incomplete  and unfulfill  .... then life is 
about searching; search for meanings ... search 
for love, and search for self...

Life is about struggling, to make one's life 
more meaningful and fulfilled...
