"ALTHOUGH HUMAN LIFE IS PRICELESS, WE ALWAYS ACT AS IF SOMETHING HAD AN EVEN GREATER PRICE THAN LIFE….BUT WHAT IS THAT SOMETHING?"
Night Flight ch. 14 (1931 )
How true and sad it is.
I apologize of course again for my absence .. as though of you who know me .. it is a world-win life I somehow lead… always something… this unfortunate time has been an injury .. it was quite bad for the invincible "debbie bell" .. as I am thinking positive and prepping my healthy recovery .. I do not think it to be appropriate to share - I do not mean to sound harsh .. I do not know how to explain except this way - my injury is not important .. and making public will just keep it there .. so to say .. so rather than the continuous of feeling sorry for myself and letting others feed in .. I say to you I am recouping fantastically .. just taking a bit of mother natures time is all and allowing her to do her job rather than jumping the gun on my own… and I know - I can hear it in my heart as you read .. that you do wish good thoughts for me .. well at least the majority of you do ..he he .. have to be on the pessimistic just in case lol… all jokes aside .. I have encountered the new and upcoming facebook site.. go figure .. a few months ago I thought it to be a bla site .. now it seems to be if your not a member your nobody .. well not nobody ..opps double neg… lol .. so that is where the past couple of days I have been .. however KNOW ..my loyalty is BB.com ..I love you guys and love this site .. I WILL NEVER abandon this place or you.  sending scarlet ohara smiles .. G-D bless deb

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
Charles R. Swindoll.

"THERE IS NOTHING SO DEAD AS A SELF-CENTERED MAN– A MAN WHO HOLDS HIMSELF UP AS A SELF-MADE SUCCESS, AND MEASURES HIMSELF BY HIMSELF AND IS PLEASED WITH THE RESULT."
Wesley G. Huber, D.D.

WOW!!  this is not what I had in mind for my quote this eve.. however .. wow .. stumbled upon it and had to share with you all .. being that through this blog and site I have encountered so very many wonderful people.  People that have opened their heart to me .. to themselves .. As you all know when you meet someone face to face in the "real world" people put on such a facade .. whether it to be from following in other footsteps .. which inevitably leads to my next thought .. insecurity that I believe 99% of us portray in society .. and those that are the rebellious type .. think about this .. purple hair .. nose rings .. tattoos .. etc…. is just another way of hiding oneself. ( the exception - if those that dress uniquely -sit and think .. do you do it for YOU or for making your POINT… if for YOU -the few artistic carefree .. are who they are for no other reason then because it makes them happy)  There is nothing more in this world that I would - want - desire and wish to do than to help — change the perception - make every INDIVIDUAL proud to be in their own skin– at this moment being unable to express myself explicitly .. I will just say that I would be content with my life if I should die tomorrow knowing that I might have been able to bring the real "us" .. YOU .. your heart .. to a content realization that "WE" all have the basic feelings and fears .. and if more of us were to express ourselves within the goodness that we really do feel in our hearts..the -yes folks LOVE .. opps I said it - (please do not interpret this as a sarcastic tone .. that is very much NOT my intent!!).. the love we feel .. not the hate and bitterness..  others WILL follow OUR WAYS… and they so will …and they will not follow the ways of the insecure that brings war and personal depression, which leads to horrid bad competition and unjust death!  
Just a thought… and I pray a reality!!!  Soon!!  All of you that mail me or have responded to me have just instilled in me how right I am about the love we all have inside and all that I have written above!   It is in your words and I can not tell you how happy it makes me to hear from you .. thank you all so much .. I really do hope that you hold on to your wonderful unique qualities and no matter what .. if you have that tinglly feeling inside knowing you are right (and you will know it) .. DO NOT let anyone ever stop you from achieving your dreams and goals… and most of all who YOU are - truly are!!  LOVE is something to not be ashamed of-to prove -or to use to have acceptance .. it is what brings us together… just wish there were more of it!
G-D bless and stay healthy and happy. –and smiley ..

"HIGH, BUT NOT THE HIGHEST INTELLIGENCE COMBINED WITH THE GREATEST DEGREE OF PERSISTENCE, WILL ACHIVE GREATER EMINENCE THAN THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF INTELLIGENCE WITHOUT SOMEWHAT LESS PERSISTENCE."

The thought of saying “20 years ago…”  boggles my mind at times… when thought in depth about it.  20 years.  Gosh to speak to anyone and discuss how long I have been on this planet – alive – and where I am at today – is just a bit less than a miracle.  And I do believe that is how we should all look at our lives and cherish every single moment!!
The reason that brings me to this is that I have been pondering my life.  
As I am sure and most definitely know we all hate the aging process!  Yeah it stinks .. as a fitness professional and trainer I KNOW .. I do know what can be done to live longer and prolong our inevitable and that of course consists of wrinkles, atrophy of muscles, slower and less endurance …etc… HOWEVER!!!  THIS CAN BE CHANGED .. not going to get into that now ..for this is not my exact point and when made prevalent to oneself I am sure you all understand what I mean!
My realization and most profound acknowledgement of life I would like to share with you.  As I hope it will put to ease the above hatred of aging – and I pray that I myself can
Live through my own words I preach!
Yes it sucks!!!  Without writing a novel I will tell you there has been so many .. so very many things I have wanted to accomplish in this past decade .. and was all set to do so.  (the prior decade – my 20’s ( as a late bloomer ) I used up for – well I suppose what they call “finding myself” ).  I had HUGE plans .. though we all know that what sometimes is planed does  not necessarily work in our favor.  And yes –what I am going to say might seem as an excuse to you .. however I will live by this till the day I die… I am A PIECES .. and EXACTLY TO the T ( if those that know anything about signs .. well I am 100% true to mine .. google Pieces and see what I mean.) .. therefore what I am about to tell you I hold responsible partially on G-D ( for lack of terminology I use this name) and the energy that we have been created by – our universe – I am a freak of learning all and  anything that has to do with the human body and this world we live in ( another novel I will be writing soon. ).  
I will express my thoughts:
I say to myself “why is it now .. now that I understand so very much .. understand who I am .. have my own identity .. rather than becoming what someone envisions me to be just to please them and be accepted .. why now and not then do I accept myself and do not care to change who I am – for I am pretty darn cool and those that can not accept it are those with THERE OWN ISSUES!!!!  AND THOSE THAT WILL NEVER BE HAPPY UNLESS THE WORLD IS IN THEIR MISERY .. .. ok sorry for yelling ?  just expressive is all.. Why now .. well the past few years did it take me so long to make sense of everything .. I could go on however I am hoping you guys get my point .. cause I doubt there will ever be a day that I am not pissed that I should and could have done things years ago .. where now it is too late for me to be in that dream that I wanted when I was 20 … HOWEVER .. as I am sure your minds are turning .. I KNOW NOW!!!  I might never be happy about it .. and that is what I HAVE TO ACCEPT… it is done over and I need to move on .. and before I allow another decade to pass me by .. I need to utilize all of the tools that I have been gifted with by my creator and my experience’s so that in ten years from now I will NOT say “why now”!
My thoughts fight each other – I know some of you understand – In turn I do feel very lucky at this point in my life for what I do have and what I have accomplished.. I am gifted and sense things more than I have ever in my entirety of life!  Where as for reasons unknown I did not know back then.   It is how I shall utilize this gift is what will  make me shine in my dreams and so much more!  This my friends is what I wanted to share with you .. as I hope that you all do understand what it is that I am trying to portray.  
The punch line is :
I am very sad so many times as I look at myself and with the knowledge I have now .. the EMPOWERMENT that I have know.. I wish I had back then.  Sometimes I believe that if I knew now what I did not then – the sky would not even be the limit for me .. then I come down off my dreams and understand that this is a JOURNEY that WE ARE ALL ON.. and in my heart and within my intelligence I very much believe -NOT THINK … know that everything DOES happen for a reason.  And if I continue to have these beliefs and utilize them to the fullest the sky will be the limit for me!!!  As I know would be the same for you!
G-D BLESS
Please stay healthy and happy
I send you all my favorite color – periwinkle – smiles to keep you all happy
