To be Positive Against All Odds of Tomorrow

To be Positive Against All Odds of Tomorrow

This is to motivate people to stay positive in any situation at hand and to see what is of today and not tomorrow. This is to motivate people to be who they are and embrace their inner freedom of who they are as a person and a part of humanity.

Lose expectations and open your mind. Control your situations and leave fatality behind. Life breathes misery, life breathes sorrow. Keep your mind free of what is held of tomorrow. We live to die, but living is key. Keep your soul alive and set yourself free.

Broken People

What happens when you miss the chance to meet a stranger on the train into NYC, and then they show up at the same bar as you 10 hours later? Could be destiny…or fate…or LOVE?

Chuck recognized the dazzling woman from the train he road in on that morning.  He was so caught watching her eyes and how animated her face was when she was talking with her friends – no laughing with her friends. That’s what caught his attention in the first place. They were laughing on the morning train.

                Probably a bunch of housewives going into the city for a day of spas and shopping, he thought.  But, that was ten hours ago.  What are they still doing here?  And how can it be that the most stunning of all the women he saw today in NYC was here at the bar in his hotel. Maybe that’s not her, I didn’t know when I saw her this morning that I was going to need to remember her tonight. That was just it, though, it was odd.  If this wasn’t her, how can two very similar looking women make his stomach flip and his throat go so dry? 

“That’s him, Messy,” Gail laughed trying to nonchalantly point at the gray haired man sitting at the bar.

“Y’think? The guy from the train?  Even if it is, what am I going to do?  It’s not like I can just go up to him and say ‘Hey, did you take the train in from Dobbs this morning?’”

“No,” Julia chimed in, “You can’t say that.  We don’t even know where he got on the train.  No 11one remembers seeing him at the station.”

“OMG! You ladies are crazy!” Sally slurred, “We are here for a wedding, not to hook-up with some guy who may or may not be stalking our friend.  Jess, forget about it. Have another drink, sweetie. We’ll get together another time and find you a man.” 

                “Yes.” Jessica agreed. But then again I don’t have a date for the wedding.

                Chuck wasn’t bright enough to see that they were talking about him, or maybe he’d already had a few drinks too many.  He meant to have a couple and then head up to his room and watch some pay-per-view.  Then when he saw this woman, he thought he’d have one to ‘get his courage up’.  Now things were getting a little fuzzy.  He decided to go to the bathroom and check his head.
