3 Things I Learned While My Plane Crashed (50)
A message I sent to a forum member a few moments ago, in response to a couple of private messages he sent to me that were designed to provoke and demean me, in regards to my age. I am unsure why he feels that 52 is a "bad thing", but my response to him...
"If you can learn one thing today, learn that One's beauty is within, not without. And that beauty begins within yourself. You will receive what you give...
If you give negative energy, you will receive negative energy.
If you give positive energy, you will receive positive energy in return.
Blessings to you on your journey of Hope."

Kaybee50: My friends,
I have just watched a short clip from a man that survived a Near Death Experience (NDE). I have also read the journal of a work-a-holic husband that has passed from cancer, and the words he left behind to his wife and family, about finally knowing, at the end of his life, what didn't matter.
I have not had a NDE, but I did experience a life-changing event some years ago that opened my eyes and heart to "what truly matters in life". This journey is not always a straight one, but the beauty of falling down a million times is that tomorrow is a new day...a new opportunity to pick myself up and try again.
You need not agree with me, and that's ok, but I think some people might agree that these forums and blogs are no longer filled with laughter, smiles, support, sharing, caring, positivity. What seems, to me, are senseless power struggles, the need to be "right" at any cost, pointing out others' flaws and insecurities and playing on them for whatever self satisfaction one receives.
Now tell me...does any of that REALLY MATTER? I read the words on here of strangers I will never meet and I feel their pain and hurt. They beg for answers of why this is happening, their frustration is apparent, and again I say, NONE OF THIS REALLY MATTERS.
So, what does matter then?
The answer to that question is a very personal one for each one of us. But this is a gift we give to one another...sharing what matters and maybe, inspiring, uplifting, or giving one another something to consider and think about.
Please use this thread to share, as many times as you want, what matters...

I agree that no matter how many times you fall down as long as you get up again, that IS what matters. However, each time you fall down you lose the strength to care about getting up again. This is when life seems hopeless.

You couldn't be more right about the posts that we see on CS. Rarely is there a thread that encourages members to post something funny or something that will help someone else. It's a power struggle on who can post the most memorable sarcastic comment.
Now tell me...does any of that REALLY MATTER? I read the words on here of strangers I will never meet and I feel their pain and hurt. They beg for answers of why this is happening, their frustration is apparent, and again I say, NONE OF THIS REALLY MATTERS.
I disagree that "none of this really matters" because people who have a need to be right all the time are more importantly fighting a power struggle within themselves. In that way, I feel bad for them because they cannot see the light of day unless they are ahead of everybody else.
The first thing you think when surviving a plane crash is.....boy that was close.....or, I'm glad to be alive. But I think there is more to life then being glad that you are alive. Sounds crazy doesn't it. If people aren't content with their life, if they can't find a crumb of happiness, if they have lost the will to survive, then what's so good about being alive?
So, what does matter then?
The answer to that question is a very personal one for each one of us. But this is a gift we give to one another...sharing what matters and maybe, inspiring, uplifting, or giving one another something to consider and think about.
And this (in blue) is what it's supposed to be about.
Thank you for writing a a very good thread.

Hi Kaybee, if you had an experience like that it does change your outlook on life. After something like that, I think the only things that really matters are:
Family, friends & health.
I think everything else doesn't matter as much anymore, oh, and really enjoying your life and not giving a s... what everyone else thinks!
Hope your well, great thread Kaybee.

If you were dying, what would matter the most to you? A stranger you may never meet on a blog that needs to have the last word? Give the last word to him/her. Making sure we have the last word does not provide us happiness and contentment. What does matter then? This man will tell you...

Beautiful post!
I have been through several NDE,...and the first two did nothing to change me. It is a personal moment when one decides what is important to themselves and what defines life and what one decides to garner from the journey. Inspirational videos, videos that try to "shock" (veneral disease ads, car crashes. etc) all can influence momentarily,...but in the end, it is all an "internal and personal" process. JMHO
