Good Morning Friends! Many Blessings and Prayers to you all.

Last night was not a good one for sleep for me. The near constant process of endless thoughts had most of it's way. So am working on 2 1/2 hours again and for the 3rd night. UGH!!

However, last night was really filled with missing close friends, and those who I have lost. I guess it was triggered by the passing of already TOO MANY celebrities in such short time. These Masters of arts all held a meaning in some way to cherished moments in my life. They were triggers to fond moments, although the circumstances of their passing isn't joyful.

A funny thing though about the lack of sleep last night. For all the worries, tragedies, memories, and feelings I had, this mornings word from His Holiness Dalai Lama below, changed how it could've turned out today. I am still more out of it than a Koala in a Eucalyptus Tree, but am good.

Life is precious, can be good, and deciding what type memories we hold, and thoughts we use daily, makes the difference. For me it will be a work in progress, but something to try to achieve. Yes, I will always miss loved ones, both here and gone, but my Love and Thoughts of how happy you all make me, gives me Faith and Hope!

Have a Great day of Strength, Wisdom, True Prosperity, and Faith of your own!!

Mucho Love ~Jose

Dalai Lama:

I often ask myself what is the purpose of our lives and I conclude that life's purpose is to be happy. We have no guarantee what will happen in the future, but we live in hope. That's what keeps us going.

Whether it be of Music or Acting, the stage goes silent again. The lights dimmed and as a singular light hits center. Although these performances here may end, I know the greatest one of all awaits ahead.

So don your garbs, and prepare your songs.
Recite your words, and ready the show.
Audience, line up dressed in your best, and gather inside to view.
The next show is about to begin, and the best is yet to come!

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
