I am Thankful...

God thank you for all I have, all the people who love me, my new laptop, my new ipod...
Thanks to friends and family, who pooled their money, to get my new laptop...
Thanks to Brad the administrator here, who got Kindred to replace my ipod, when it was stolen...
Thanks to my daughter Shellee, who made thanksgiving dinner for the first time, it was great...
Thanks to my son Steven who helps me do things I can no longer do, like loading my ipod and computer stuff... Thanks to my mom, who does my laundry, brings me lunch and so much more...
Thanks to my brother mark, who manages my affairs, gives me spending money, tried to get my laptop fixed and so much more... Thanx to my ex-wife Kat who reminds me of the good times and who got all the people together, to get me my laptop... Thanks to all my wonderful caregivers, who do all the things I can no longer do for myself...
Thanks to God, who gives me the courage and strength to face each day, with a positive, cheerful attitude... Thanks to anyone who I forgot to mention...

Truly I feel loved, blessed and happy...

Healing the world...

The healing has begun... It began the moment Obama won the election... Already there have been many positive comments from world leaders... It won't be easy to make the changes necessary, it will take all of us working together... Barack has a plan to engage and empower all that want to be involved in the solution. www.change.gov  He has so many good ideas. He is a true leader..., with the right positive attitude, to make change happen... Obama is truly right for the time...

A note to my best friend in high school, Jim...

Hi Jim, Mark told me you looking for me... Well I have been looking for you forever... ever since I heard you were living on lambert in la habra many years ago now... all you have to do to find me is to google me... I am very easy to find... I am very glad to hear your doing well, with a new wife... I wondered what happened to my best friend in high school... I saw you only once since you left high school to join the army... you were living right by Monte Vista and you showed me your harley, I guess you still have it??? Sounds like you have traveled the world, good for u Jim!!! I can remember even in high school it was your dream to one day travel to Hong Kong and Thailand ... I don't know how much Mark told you about me ... It was always a dream of mine to go to Botswana, Africa after my dad moved there to join the peace corp and stayed and made his life there... In feb. 2002 I got to go and fulfill my dream... I had already been diagnosed ALS and confined to my electric wheelchair...So I made the trip to Africa in my wheelchair... my dad and sister Babette came here to US to fly with me to Africa... six months later I amazingly flew back by myself... Botswana is a very primitive country... and the village of Maun where my dad lived was in the bush... the whole country never saw the likes of me before or since, with my powered wheelchair... Jim, I have lived a full life... I'm very happy... for a person who was supposed to have been dead by now... I have 2 grown children, who are doing well, Steven and Shellee... Steve just graduated from UCI with a BS in computer science... he is going to create video games... Shellee works as a medical assistant, in a busy pediatrics office... I am very proud of them, 2 fine young adults... as a chef i was able to live in many fine places, Mammoth, Maui, Catalina, Kings canyon, San Jose, Tacoma WA, Huntington Beach... What do you do Jim??? Under water welder??? go to my website mikerayl.com, click contact us..

Love is'nt easy... it should be...

I'm single again... Relationships are hard... they should not be but they are just the same... the way I feel now I don't want a girlfriend again... All women are the same deep down inside it seems... I don't think I was meant to be in an exclusive relationship... Not that I want to play the field, I don't... it is just too much work... most woman just won't leave you alone, to be yourself, most I've found want to change you into something you're not... love should be easy, but it's not... if I could just find a woman that would just except me the way I am uncondionally... my first wife did, so I know they are out there... somewhere... Life is too short to spend it with one person, I feel... I'm happy...

Who will be our next president...?

Im torn between Clinton and Obama... Not in my lifetime has there been such fine candidates on all sides... im a green party member... but i want to change to dem or independent... in the primary i will vote for Ralph Nader... whom ever the next president is we will have a fine mess to clean up... bush really put us in the toilet... i dont understand... 8 years ago there was a surplus and we were at peace... what a mess... now there is a record deficit... and the world hates us for what we have done in Iraq... i do not understand how bush with his lack of experience got in there to begin with... and the price of gas i blame bush... but dont get me started...
