Flipping Grand Bahama

This morning while thinking of what to write I came across this beautiful saying by Confucius with the sign made up by Success.com and thought how appropriate. For a blog seeking to change attitudes sometimes in the face of discouragement a nice thing happens, and a new beginning is announced and the motivation gets stirred up again. One thing thats hard to die is hope and I hope to see great new things happening in Grand Bahama soon. I hope to see the residents move themselves to their own dreams despite the climate and make huge successes not only for themselves but also the community.

As she aptly described how she coped with the struggles in her life's journey, it reminded me of the following poem. Some folks ride the train of life Looking out the rear, Watching miles of life roll by, And marking every year. They sit in sad remembrance, Of wasted days gone by, And curse their life for what it was, And hang their head and cry. But I don't concern myself with that, I took a different vent, I look forward to what life holds, And not what has been spent. So strap me to the engine, As securely as I can be, I want to be out on the front, To see what I can see. I want to feel the winds of change, Blowing in my face, I want to see what life unfolds, As I move from pla...
