Important You: (Unedited): 27 Nov 2014:

Happy Thanksgiving Brother.
No matter how great the distance.
No matter how little time we have had.
No matter what has happened or what should have happened.
I can look beyond all of that former junk and see the importance in you.
We are still brothers and family.

==============================

I wrote this for my brother as I was viewing a personal picture of his. This is an inspired write for him. As well as for my sister, Niece and those other family members who know not of me. 

I have some cool relatives in some states who do some cool things in their lives. Yes, I am being vague as they deserve their privacy.  I wish I can say more and brag a little. But, cannot and should not. 

My brother and I have not had a fair opportunity to share each others lives. In which we have missed so much from each other. I can also say this about my other brother and my other sister. As well as the rest of my biological family whom I know and do not know of. We have missed out and are now strangers to each other. There is no blame just the ways things have come to happen. which have been beyond our own decisions or even fore knowledge. Yes, I was a secret. Although personally I did not accept but do see why the decision was made in order to hide a potentially embarrassing problem in the 1960's. That is just how things were done back then. I am sorry that I was a secret kept from any of you and hope you can find it in your own hearts to forgive those who created this secret.

Family is important and I am thankful for the family I do have. That is what Thanksgiving is all about and not just a "Turkey Day". To be thankful and to acknowledge gratitude. Which should be done more than one day a year. Even despite the errors of your actions or of others. Which includes those unfortunate things which were and are beyond your control. This is where forgiveness comes into play.

Life is precious and is way to short for us mortal human beings. Life is even made shorter by sicknesses, diseases, conflicts and accidents. We should all celebrate what we are allowed to have with our loved ones. Never hold onto your anger, unforgivable heart and/or other negative emotions in regards to your family. In the end all of your negative feelings do, is harm you and steals joy from your life. 

I have always had trouble with time. For me time is not constant. Time is never consistent with it's linear flow. I can almost see how time moves even though it doesn't move. It is the fluctuating frequency which moves as a linear wave. Time has no emotion and thus is never forgiving and also never plotting against you. So it is up to each one of us as to live how we are aware of what little time we do have. Once we each decide that every day is important. Then so to is every hour, every minute and every second of each of our living existence in this reality. 

I hope each of you can forgive me of my actions or from my words of the past. Especially, If they have harmed you in any way. I am truly sorry. John

Unfortunate Enjoyment: (Unedited): 08 June 2013:

Finding enjoyment in other peoples unfortunate occurrences is inhumane. 

 C.J.Mackechnie

===================================================

I've caught myself at enjoying other peoples unfortunate events. Especially on YouTube. Those skate board crashes, motorcycle crashes, Big truck crashes. The bully who gets smashed. AND ETC.
This is a self realization of myself. What is the harm in enjoying a person smashing his face on concrete? It is a great harm to your own mind and spirit. The person who epically crashed and smashed his face on concrete was only harmed once physically and a second time to know his embarrassment is seen world wide and thirdly knowing his friends (Who are not) may have put it on YouTube. Fourthly every person who watches these kinds of videos is harming themselves mentally and spiritually. So the harm is more than what appears to be harmless enjoyment. It is passive harm to you the viewer.
=============================================================
Making positive and loving changes within your own self alters the entire world for the better. It has to be within you from the beginning and by your own free choice. Without threats should you make these changes on your own.

Loose Thread: (Unedited): 06 July 2010:

Tugging on or playing with any thread within the fabric of time and space is usually not a good thing unless your the seamstress.

======================
Our histories are woven into today's reality. So if your one of those unfortunate souls who had to endure a history full of traumatic bad and sad. You may want to change your past as much as I do. You must know to change or alter your past in any way, will fundamentally change who you are now. One thing is for certain. You will not be the strong and determined person you are now. Those who are survivors of intense bad and sad events, are fundamentally different souls then those who had a life with much fluff. All of those bad and sad memories of your past is very similar to the memories of warriors who return home.
=======================
It doesn't matter if you were born into an awful family or like me adopted into one. I've resolved myself into thinking this. Better for me to have been adopted by them, then for someone else. If this gives you any comfort, then use it. Because, you survived as I have. Your abuse and torture may have been much worse than mine. You survived it all. many of those who are like us do not survive. So, be thankful with your heart of compassion.
