Pam has another reason to HOPE ! :-)

I am good natured. As an OPTIMIST, I prefer looking at the glass as half full. There are two ways of looking at everything. One of my favorite quotes that gets me through what I may "PERCEIVE" to be rough times is "EVEN THOUGH THE CLOUDS MAY BE STORMY AND GREY, THE SUN IS ALWAYS SHINING BRIGHTLY AND THE SKY IS BLUE ABOVE". I try very hard not to complain. I don't like it when people complain and do nothing about what they are complaining about. I don't like it when people lack compassion for others. I will fight when my back is against the wall. When that happens, GET OUT OF MY WAY. I am self motivated but I might need a little push at times. I will speak my mind. I do respect people and the way that they choose to live their lives. I can be lazy at times. I will jump on the wagon LONG after the band has gone. Procrastination is a challenge that I must overcome. I am a firm believer in KARMA. What goes around comes around. Karma is one of the many "LAWS" of this great Universe. Karma is just like the law of gravity, you don't have to believe in it in order for it to work. World Peace starts with ME and YOU! WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PEACE PROCESS. Peace is not just about ending wars, it's about respecting ALL human beings, regardless of our many DIFFERENCES, THOUGHTS AND POLITICAL VIEWS. DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE PEACE HAPPEN. I am a proud member of a wonderful organization The SOKA GAKKAI INTERNATIONAL-USA (SGI) who's primary goal is World Peace. The SGI is the lay organization for the Nichiren Sect of Buddhism.
