Not long ago, the clock struck midnight and it is now 2010 where I live. Some places have not quite reached midnight yet, but will soon.

I want to wish everyone a happy New Year. If 2009 was not a good year for you, I hope this one will be a lot better. If 2009 was a good year, I wish you continued happiness for 2010.

Sometime this year I will turn 42 years old. Therefore, I wanted to share a few thoughts about life for anyone who has the chance to read this.

Life is short! It goes by very quickly. I still view the events of twenty years ago as if they were yesterday and I have to remind myself that it really was twenty years ago.

There are many paths that people walk in life. We all live different lives and some of our lives are really, really different than the lives of others.

I remember times of stress. In fact, I count the current period of my life as one of the most stressful ever. Stress can do strange things to people. Your thought process can change. You can find yourself doing and saying things that you would not normally do.

Therefore, my first thoughts would be to remind each person reading this to take time to relax. Get rid of the stress in your life as best you can. One time, I simply let all of my thoughts go through my mind and I just kind of watched them for about 20 minutes. When I got up, I felt 200% better.

Meditation is a very good way to relax and unwind. I have tried several different kinds of meditation in my life. To this day, and in my opinion, the best one has been that of Falun Dafa. There is nothing like it.

As time moves forward, this is my message to a stressed out world: Relax! Take a break from your hard work. Try to keep positive happy thoughts. Negative thinking makes us stress that much more.

There are many problems to solve in this world. Become a great problem solver and you can accomplish much.

I wish you a happy and prosperous 2010.

Should I give or not? This is the major question that anyone desiring to be charitable has to answer. Sometimes, it is difficult to choose an answer.

Many people in Kansas City will claim to be homeless in order to obtain ‘free’ money. The problem is they just don’t fit the part, even though they almost always have a good story.

A person isn’t homeless if he has good shoes and a fresh haircut. Someone can’t be out on the street for months and be overweight. It just isn’t something that is possible. If you are that well fed, you can’t possibly be homeless. I’m sure someone will disagree with me. Perhaps there is a soup kitchen open or something of that nature? But I think, basically speaking, if you are so well fed, you really aren’t totally destitute.

I’ve heard and seen some crazy stories in an attempt to get some money out of my pocket. They almost always seem believable until you dig a little deeper.

Others don’t even try, “I ran out of gas and need a few dollars to make it home” or “Can I have some change for the bus”. The problem is that they are in the same spot every weekend telling the same story.

There are those who make a very good tax free living from panhandling. A local paper just ran a story about a man who said he makes over $80,000 tax free per year from begging. I have seen him around many times. I know who they were referring to.

I think I did run into a truly homeless person once. He had long, very dirty hair and he had shoes that were old, blackened and full of holes. He was happy to receive a couple of cookies. The fake homeless only want money and they might even turn their noses up when you offer them food.

My friend took a ‘homeless’ man into a restaurant to buy him some food. He didn’t even eat. Instead he read the paper and asked for a box when it was time to leave. Not thirty minutes before that he had asked us for some money so he could get something to eat.

Dig a little deeper and you’ll find that a lot of ‘homeless’ stories are fabrications. True, there may be some that choose this lifestyle, but then they aren’t really looking to help themselves. But, they will be glad for you to help them. Do you help or not? You have to decide. There is no easy way to make hard choices.
