DALLAS HELL IS THE TRUTH!!!!!

My brain felt like it was being cooked right inside my skull. It has been so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk.

Now I know what they mean when they say your brain is like eggs in a frying pan when you are on drugs. Heat exhaustion is pretty extreme and you begin to see visions. You don't needs drugs or alcohol poisoning to experience an whole new reality.

Dear Warriors,
I hate to admit it but I am going to HELL!

Dallas, Texas HELL to be specific where they are experiencing one of the hottest summers in years with 18 days above 100 degrees. It reminds me of 1999 when we moved there and the temperature was over 100 degrees for over 90 straight days.

The following quote from Vincent Van Gogh "Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together." definitely gives everyone hope that they too can achieve their dreams, one small step a a time. Great things take a long time and lots of small steps, both forward and backward as we learn through our mistakes what works and what does not.

Dear Warriors,

Here is some more inspiration from Souza and Jason Potash. After reading the quote from Souza and Jason's lowest moment, I realized that life is filled with problems and difficulties…every day. It is the attitude we choose that determines or happiness, how we respond to the obstacles. Either we are proactive and determine our destiny or get crushed by the mistakes, errors, tragedies, cataclysms and sorrows.

Dear Readers,

This quote by Soren Kierkegaard and Willie Crawford's description of the lowest point in his life really inspired me to not be a whiner and get on with my life. I have decided move back to Texas, rent an apartment in Bedford Texas and get back involved in the community like before my parents had their catastrophic illnesses four years ago.

I am trying to keep a positive mental attitude but it is hard under the difficult circumstances. I am being forced to move out of my parents home so it can be sold. My sisters want to sell it to get the money, but to me it has a huge nostalgic value…all the wonderful memories, the laughter, joy, sorrow and miracles.

Dear George,
Thank you for your kind words.

It is hard to understand what a family goes through when you have parents or a child who is sick and dying unless you have actually been through it or know intimately family members who are dealing with it or have been recently involved in such a situation.
