I haven't been online much the last few weeks since I got back from California.
My mom still has to have the biopsy but the pet scan has shown growths and simialr along both lungs, the center of the chest, along the parotid part of the neck, and the one of the left lung the largest. The bad infection she had has pretty much completely cleared up so she is more conscious of all that is going on. Hospice comes twice a week or so.

I have a job at Taco Bell (well am supposed to still waiting for a schedule), but while it is something I will enjoy it is not necessarily what I desire. Working to figure out what to do with the expos I desire to put on but knowing my mom's health and life expectancy I do not see things necessarily going as I had planned. There was a chance for two better jobs but am short on my car insurance so it is lapsing and the cell phone well... yeah.

My family is mostly coming together to help my parents. My dad is getting used to things being quite different but it is also wearing on him quite a bit. It is amazing though to see the love he has for my mom. They have been married 55 years (almost 56)and it is quite inspiring.

I will be working to get back on here daily and get the blogs/bulletins and such going again.

Until then may this St. Patricks day bring you wealth of joy, happiness, friends, and good ale!!

The Wearin' O' the Green
Today is the day fer the wearin' o' the green.
Today is the day when the little people are seen.
Today is St. Patrick's Day, so if ye'r Irish me lad,
Join the celebratin' fer the grandest time ta' be had.
Ya' put yer hand up in the air, the other hand on your hip.
Ya' tap yer toe, ya' tap yer heel, ya' bounce yer knee a wee bit.
Ya' prance 'n dance around the room, n' circle one two three.
The saints be praised, I must admit, ya' all look Irish ta' me.

I'm looking over a four leaf clover
I’m looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I’m looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.

An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Drink & be merry!!

As a side note I am looking for people who would like to be interviewed, share stories, or help with AchievingLife.com as well as Life Coaches, Healers, Guides, Non-Profit Groups, Businesses, and more to be part of the site and the expos later this year.
