It's was not a Rainy day Monday, but another sad day in history for Country singer Mindy McCready, who was found dead from a single self inflicted gun shot wound to the head, such a tragedy.
I am numb from the news, although I have no personal connection to this woman and I only know her by her music. It pains me because, it's another great loss not only to Country music, but for the children and the family she left behind. Another soul that was lost tragically as she struggled to find her way in this world....may she rest in peace with the angels now.....
Everyday it is becoming harder and harder to turn the television on, with repeated tragedies every time you turn around. One after another when will it end, if ever? I search everyday to find the answers for myself as much as the others I try to encourage, and I know the answer does not lie in things or money, it never did, you may try to fool yourself into believing if you can obtain success or wealth you'll be happy and everything will be okay, but it won't. Look again, in the news with the recent death of 29 year old model, girlfriend of Blade Runner on Valentines Day, makes me sick...
It's hard enough to have to face the daily struggles with a failing economy and no jobs to boot. Gas prices at an all time high and rising, and many feeling the pressures of financial ruins just a paycheck away from sheer disaster, but without the one thing that makes it all worthwhile....LOVE, unconditional LOVE, what are we doing it all for? Ask yourself that!
Seems to me all these material things can add to depression and violence, because with them comes much responsibility and stress and that causes pressure. Maybe that old adage less is more, is true? Seems today like everyone is on a pill anymore or in a group or in counseling, yet there are more suicides and murders than ever before? I have a real problem with that! No one seems to be in their right mind!!! Okay, economy adds to all this, but it's not the sole culprit because all the recent deaths prove it, they weren't victims of the fallen economy? Think about that too....
The more you have the more you want, and soon you become overwhelmed by life, and all these things become your God your Love, and without God first and a healthy balance in your life you can't and won't survive. At least not the survival I'm talking about, to live to be truly ALIVE!! There is a difference, you can live or you can be ALIVE...I find myself becoming a VICTIM of the same trap, the trap of the WORLD, the more you get the more you want, well I want to be happy and be alive for a long time.
I do believe you can have both, but it takes great balance and focus and when you feel you are losing that battle, maybe it's time to surrender for a while till you regroup? Focus on whats important, it's one day one step at a time, it's your life and your worth it.
I will say this, I feel many things interfere with ones self survival, mental help "experts" as in my sisters case, I feel they helped KILL her. This is just my opinion, but All the prescription drugs they gave her, knowing she was a recovering alcoholic just compounded the problem. As far as I believe, help in the form of mental help/rehabs etc. can either be part of the solution or part of the problem, one must choose wisely and use common sense and wisdom. Never surrender your mind, when you lose the ability to think for yourself you lose the ability to control the outcome of "YOUR" Life!
Until you get to the root of the problem you cannot solve it, you can only cover it up! And that can be deadly., for it has been proven time and time again, that pills drugs and alcohol cannot fix a problem. It can only temporarily erase the pain as my sister would say, it would make her forget. :(

I lost my sister and best friend Jo-Ann McGuire on May 6, of 2012, she had yet to begin to live a full life and after being a Victim she died a Victim again, she desperately wanted to make it, for she loved life! But it wasn't enough in the end, the world took her. We search our entire lives for the answers to happiness and I think to myself is there an answer to that question? What is true happiness? I say Happiness lies within us and we must find it, it's our "sunshine" and yes, It is different for everyone and no one should try to tell you what makes you happy! Only you know the answer to that question.
If a person that appeared to have everything, Mindy McCready had a career a family a soul mate. A soul mate!! That is something most of us only dream about, or search our whole life for, so we can spend the rest of our life with that one special person. The one that makes everything else better and more worthwhile! "She" said she had him, but yet in the same token could have such adversity, sadness, loss, pain and suffering in her short life. Something is seriously missing and all the money, fame and success in the World couldn't satisfy fill or fix that need. And no drugs, or prescription medicine can fix or cure a problem. Something was wrong.......

Each and everyone of US have to examine our souls and heart and make a choice, and then only then, can we finally find the peace that we will need to go on...I myself have come to a cross road in my own life...do I want the world or do I just want the happy every after and soul mate......for richer or poorer, it is God's will and time, not mine. With that said....
Here's "D" thought of d night......
Are "YOU" happy? Think about it, are you really happy?
If you can't honestly answer that question with a sincere yes, then what is it that will make you happy? You better figure it out soon, because life is short and there are no guarantees, and if you get the chance to be happy you better take it, you only get one chance at this game of life! Remember we play to win! Now, if your life is all you ever imagined, then I'm happy for you, may you have many more blessings! But if it's not, then maybe it's time to take a reality check? You may not be able to have your soul mate, but you can sure enjoy D Sunshine!!!!

I"d like to share this poem with you, I wrote it some time ago, it was published in: Surrender To The Moon

Someones's Watching
Someone's watching and we better look out,
for he knows what is best., there is never a doubt....
He sends us a message if we only would hear,
our times of troubles wouldn't be our fears.
We are quick to complain and fuss all the more,
but someone is watching and keeping the score.
So, don't take for granted and never forget,
life isn't by chance and this isn't a bet!
There are no magicians or genies you see,
only one who is just greater than thee.........?
