Good Morning!! Sorry another late morning for me! Wow what a day yesterday! Yes I believe, and yes we can! I woke up and listened to now President Barack Obama's Podcast Yes We Can. It was on U-Tube for his his campaign, extremely moving and motivating. Now I have John Legend on" If Your Out There!" . "Calling every woman, calling every man. Were the generation that can't afford to wait. The future started yesterday we are already late. We been looking for a song to sing, search for a Melody, search for someone to lead. We be looking for the world to change, if you feel the same go on an say if your out there sing along with me if your out there I'm dying to believe that your out there stand up and say it loud if your out there tomorrow started now! This is how I feel every day. Yesterday ended up to be such a great day! A beautiful thing happened, I connected with an old friend, a new friend, and my favorite, I connected with a complete stranger. I came home and received a wonderful e-mail from my new friend Blaq Feugo and he said something about me that was the most touching thing I think anyone has said It said " Angels Amongst strangers. Its a blessing to meet total strangers who care and have the heart and soul that goes beyound expressions and words. Sarah Magrady is one of them.... An Angel Amongst Strangers..." No one has ever said anything that moving to me. Thank You so much for those beautiful words it just helps me go on even stronger. Thank You Amy a stranger that made a comment, yes that's what I want. Thank you all. Now the Lord works in mysterious ways, before I got home to read this, I was in traffic court and here we go.
I got a ticket going 84 in a 45 on 88. The judge looked at me and said whats up with all the speeding because this is my 3rd in one year. So I got a fine and then he looked at me and said he was going to put me in the 25 and alive class. I told him well I get scared what if my health conditions make me unable to do it, he said well you come back on this date and talk to me. I left the court with tears in my eyes. I sat on the bench reading but no one knew why the tears. The tears were for the DUI's, the accidents, the room full of violations just got out of prison no license. I realized how lucky I am. How cautious I need to be. How my family has been torn due to my cousin's death. Tom Dodson! September 16th 2008 he was driving down New Indian Trail on his new Harley a girl was blinded by the sun (supposedly) and turned he couldn't do anything witnesses said he tried to throw the bike but couldn't. He died! Right on a major corner my family passes daily. The fire station his brother in law's father worked at. His brother in law is a fireman and my Uncle use to be. Devastation hit when my mom came home and said he was gone. We are strong though. What hit me the hardest is when we let the balloons go outside in Cub colors and we helped his wife Tracy get the him to heaven and we let go and all the balloons went. I try to think this tragic event has taken a huge toll on my family along with all the other deaths, how can we remember Tom and honor him. Please any suggestions. I do the best I can. The reason I was crying at the court house is because lately I have been speaking of the movie Seven Pounds. I don't think I could forgive myself if I took someone's life, however I often think of the young girl that hit him. I think how torn up she must be. I think very often of that, I never want that to happen.
I walked out of the court room and outside and this guy goes whoooo thank God. I said I know right. I said yeah who doesn't go 80 on 88 people then fly by you if you go slower you may cause an accident. He said yeah when I was on my motorcycle I fly by, and I remember Tom doing that to me a couple times on his old motorcycle and then laughing. I said no please come back, come. I said my cousin did that same thing I told him the story briefly and I had the movie Seven Pounds in my purse cause I carry it and have been handing them sparingly as random acts of kindness. He said oh no I don't want to take your movie, I said please, take it, it's a random act of kindness. I said I do this here is my blog read and you will understand. I wrote it down. He said he sold his motorcycle, I really hope he did and didn't say it because I was crying. I got in my car and an overwhelming sense of joy came over me the tears came and I called Dad. My dad is friends with the Whites, I am related to Tom through my mom however, my parents are divorced. My father knows Tom's mothers side very well and speaks highly of them. They are wonderful joyful people. I called my cousin Jackie the other day who had a baby Matthew and I heard her joy. So then I connected when I came home with an old friend and another friend, then to see Blaq words, yes the Lord work is being done.
Well my friends I leave you with that today. The joys that come with turning something positive from a negative situation. Believe in yourself. Thank you all for who believe in me, Thanks Diandra for seeing my talent and helping me create this blog. It has allowed me to speak the words I have always wanted to say. So many to thank I don't know were to begin. Thank You for the one who took my hand and held it hard, I believe that is when I recognized the holy spirit is working through me. Everyone music does heal, it speaks, it heals, and brings joy! Everyone have a great day!
Love,
Sarah
