If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind. ― Norman Vincent Peale, (1898-1993)

Guns! Guns! Guns! Humans have no regards for life. The right to keep and bear arms takes America back to the days of the Wild Wild West! School is no longer a safe haven. Here we go again.

School shootings; October 1^st, — 10 died and 9 wounded at a community college in Oregon.

October 9^th, — 1 died. 3 injured at North Arizona University.

Last week 3 shot and wounded near Tennessee State University campus, Nashville,  and last night Thursday, October 22, 2015 1 killed and 2 wounded at Tennessee State University in Nashville.

What can I say? They have the right to keep and bear arms. What are guns made for? hmmm… Made to kill!

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful. ― Norman Vincent Peale, (1898-1993)

I am alive and well, just enjoying life and thanking God for making me see another day. A wonderful safe day to you.

I read lots of books. My bible is my favorite but this book is added to the list of favorites. I believe you should get a copy to help you on your journey to peace.

Page 118: Dear Self, Free your mind from the dead things you wanted to do but allowed yourself to believe you weren’t good enough, smart enough, young or old enough to do.

Free your heart from the fear that someone can stop you or harm you.

Free your self from the self-imposed limitations of age, color, and gender.

Free your body from the harmful things you love even when you know they are absolutely no good for you.

Freedom is the key.

You must not let anything or anyone confine or define you!

FREEDOM IS A STATE OF MIND.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously. ― Norman Vincent Peale, (1898-1993)

Nostalgic memories about my school days back in Trinbago. They were real good days.

In 1971 we got days off from school when the West Indies played India. I wonder if Children in Trinidad and Tobago schools get days home from school for Test Cricket.

Gavaskar By Lord Relator

A lovely day for cricket. Blue skies and gentle breeze. The Indians are waiting now. To play the West Indies. A signal from the umpire. The match is going to start. The cricketers come on the field. They all look very smart.

Erapalli Prasanna. Gegeboy and Wadekar, Krishnamurthy and Vishwanath. Them boys can well play cricket on any kind of wicket. They make the West Indies team look so bad. We was in all kind of trouble. Joey Carew pull a muscle. Clive Lloyd get bout 3 rum out. We was in trouble without a doubt.

It was Gavaskar. The real master. Just like a wall. We couldn’t out Gavaskar at all. Not at all. You know the West Indies couldn’t out Gavaskar at all.

Venkataraghavan. Bedi in ah turban, Vejay Jaishema jiantilman. They help to win the series against the West Indies, at Sabina Park and Queen’s Park Oval. 158 by Kanhai really sent our hopes up high Noreiga 9 for 95. The Indian team they still survive…

Govengangurane, Solkar Abid Ali, Dilip Sadasi and Vishanat. They make West Indies bowlers look like second raters. When those fellows came out here to bat. West Indies tried Holder and Keith Boyce. They had no other choice. They even tried with Uton Dowe, but ah sure that they sorry they bring him now…

Little Desmond Lewis, also Charlie Davis, take a little shame from out we face, but Sobers as a captain, he want plenty coaching before we cricket end up in ah disgrace. Badi hear that he became a father, he ketch out Holder in the cover, but when Sobers hear he too had a son, he made duck and went back in the pavilion.

It was Gavaskar the real master. Just like a wall we couldn’t out Gavaskar at all, Not at all. You know the West Indies couldn’t out Gavaskar at all.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all. ― Norman Vincent Peale, (1898-1993)

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. ― Norman Vincent Peale, (1898-1993)

Kindness is not judgmental.

Do not give it just to say that you gave it. Give it with kindness…

A wonderful safe day to you.
