Do you get it?

By -
I have to wake up for work in the morning...
I have to get my clothes from the washer and put them on, while brushing my teeth and hair...
I have to kiss the wife and children goodbye as I rush out the door for work...
I have to work........
I have to spend a little time with the kids when I get home...
I have to shower and listen to my wife...
I have to go to bed...


I get to sleep...

I get to open my eyes in the morning beside my lovely wife...
I get to take my clothes from the laundry and get to brush my teeth and hair...
I get to kiss my wife and kids before I get to leave for work...
I get to work...
I get to spend a little time with my kids when I get home...
I get to shower and listen to my wife...
I get to go to bed...
I get it, do you?

That much I can remember, but don't ask me too many details; that's why my computer has a save button. If someone were to ask me what I was doing ten years ago, the blank my mind drew would have been evident through my stare and a sarcastic remark would've raced to fill in the void.      A super sharp memory is one of the gifts that some kids with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are born with. Though Christopher is no longe

Have you ever heard of someone feeling better because they have been taking a cold shower every morning? Has a friend or family member ever told you how great they feel after cutting sugar out of their diet? I think we all have witnessed how amazing people begin to look when they dedicate themselves to an exercise regimen. Are these things just better for us, or is there a secret behind doing things that we really, would just rather not do?       I had been working as an EMT for the better part of ten years, and had become quite use to seeing and doing things that nobody would rather do. The horrific and stressful experiences I placed myself in at work, more than one hundred hours a week, had in turn caused me to produce a home-life that was pretty cozy. Thus, when I changed jobs to a less stressful one, I started gaining weight and became much more volatile. Why, when I had much less stress in my life, was I declining physically and emotionally?      Yes, I had begun drinking m
