The Dark Room

Worry is the darkroom
in which negatives
are developed.


Howdy  Y'all

Until recently it had never really occurred to me
the power that negative thoughts can have when they go un-checked.
While growing up I had a really interesting  cousin who was very industrious and
had a dark room in a one bathroom  single wide trailer.
Yes He had a lot of siblings who did not share his passion for hogging the bathroom !
Mobil home we called them back in the day :)
Poor cousin was always looked down upon for his brainy hobbies and way of speaking .
The family became a little more tolerant of his time in the dark room as his talent became a bit more clear.
Not to say that he ever had it easy or that we really gave in ,but somewhere we reached a compromise .
His ability to take pictures and make copies for family,friends,school administration and so on
gave my dear cousin the opportunity to go to College and study Law.
His life goal was to become a Judge not a single one of us ever doubted that he would make it .
While this did not happen he did accomplish a lot in his life and I for one am very proud of him.
He was the first person to try to teach me about a positive attitude ,over a negative attitude toward life.
Thank you dear cousin for sharing this life altering information .
I only wish I could have understood your words much sooner .
It is never too late to learn something new blogger friends.
My prayer for all of you is that in 2012 you will embrace a new thought ,
a new way of looking at things and learn ,learn ,learn !!!!!!!!!
In order to grow as a person :)

Until We Meet Again
Happy Trails
