Subject: HAMP TAKES THE PLUNGE
Body: lionel hampton besides being a great musician was always a showman, and encouraged it in fellow musicians. once while on a tour of eastern canada, and stopping in buffalo for a one nighter the ballroom where they played was packed. during the concert hampton was delighted when the alto sax player who just joined the band jumped up on the footlight covering and walked on the rail like he was walking on a tightrope. at the climax of the solo he turned around and fell backwards into the tightly packed crowd, in a self protective reflex the people put their hands up and caught him. pushing him back on stage he continued playing furiously through it all, an made a great sensation. hampton had the habit of stealing bits of showmanship invented by his sidemen. upon the return engagement at the same buffalo ballroom hamp made his move, during a number where the alto man plays clarinet, hampton grabbed the saxophone and jumped up on the footlight railing. he began a honking riff on one note imitating the alto mans balancing act, and the crowd loved it. but, since the band had played there recently the turnout was not as large. so, there was room enough for the people to step quickly away as hampton fell back. and so he fell flat on his back on the ballroom floor, the band laughed so hard they could barely continue playing while hampton abashedly climbed back onto the stage.

Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot... goes forever. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. Life's treasures are people... together. Realize that it's never too late. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Have health and hope and happiness. Take the time to wish upon a star. And don't ever forget... for even a day... How very special you are. ~ Unknown ~ Now remember how happy I am to call you friend. Goodnight my sweet friend. Smiles, Diana
She drops her head in her hands, tears roll through her fingers! Things kept building in her, she fought the fears, the tears for days. Lack of sleep and food pushed her just a little to far! Her eyes are puffy and red, her head has it’s own heart beat! She went from wondering about things to hoping she didn’t mess things up. When the tear drips from her fingers and drops to the ground, she hopes with all she has he doesn’t give up on her on them. When he came into her life she was in a darkness, he became the sunrise! He taught her to believe and push ahead, how many times will he pick her up before he gives up! She thinks of all the things that darken her life…. she knows she will never completely heal. Her fingers slide through her hair as she lifts her eyes to the sky. Hold on my love, please don’t give up on me!
Try to understand others pain and never give up on them, you ever know how much someone needs you!
Sadness, pain, problems, happiness and smiles…..they all makes us who we are! To you my friend I say this tonight; if it wasn’t for the things that have pushed us in life we wouldn’t be who we are today. I know you have been through or are going through a hard or painful time. I say let life push you, everything happens to us for a reason and in the long run things will be worth it. I have to believe this, for myself and I hope that you can take my words and get something from them. I have pushed through so much but the more I get to know others I know that life’s hard for everyone. So, when times are hard just remember there’s others going through hard times too. Reach out to someone and in return someone will reach for you; they will lift you up! What you give in life you will get back; good or bad! On that note I say goodnight and sleep sweetly! I took this photo a few days ago taking my son to school. Remember there is alway beauty around us, look & listen for it!
"Don't ask for an easier life; ask to be a stronger person." But truth is. I have found when I ask God to make me stronger. He gives me hard to handle things just to show me I am strong. Maybe that goes back to be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. lol May God smile on you today. And remember to cherish each and every moment. Smiles, Diana

I was thinking about a goodbye kiss today… I put so much into a kiss and a goodbye one is so hard for me! I started out thinking about a lover’s goodbye kiss; the way I tend to rest my forehead on his to stop my tears before he looks into my eyes. As I was thinking my thoughts turned to other goodbye kisses. Kisses from friends or from family. Then my thoughts went to goodbyes…….This is a sad thought for me! I say to you all and please take these words to heart! Tell the ones you care about how you feel, tell them goodnight or good morning and what they mean to you! I know at times we get busy and forget or get upset and just don’t want to talk ….my friends, always try to look pass those things and tell them! I was fighting with my daddy the day he died…I had been for a few months! I can’t remember the last time I kissed him or hugged him! I was a daddy’s girl and didn’t get a chance to tell him goodbye or I love you! It broke me and part of me will never heal! I think he’s trying to help heal my heart, he‘s sends me signs! So please; don’t let the ones you love and care about not know what they mean to you! Look into their eyes as you tell them, pick up your phone to let them hear you say what you feel or send them your heart in a letter; anything my friend! JUST LET THEM KNOW FOR YOURSELF AS WELL AS FOR THEM!!!!!!!
Hi there sweetie, Just a little something to make you smiles. Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. 'Why do you do that, mommy?' he asked. 'To make myself beautiful,' said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue. 'What's the matter?' asked Little Johnny. 'Giving up?' Well did you smile? lol Goodnight sweet friend. Smiles, Diana
