It told the story of 2Firemen John Gage and Roy Desoto how they became paramedics. They both had specializedtraining in rescue in difficult and challenging situtations not just fires .The &ldquo;squad&rsquo; as they referredto was basically small work truck that carried alot of various specialized tools to perform anytask they were assigned. Over the years as I became interested in the job as a hobby of aprofessional firefighter, their skills and training increased, the trucks got bigger. They carriedmore tools and became&rdquo;toolboxes on wheels&rdquo;..It got me thinking about the last 5 months.The people in my life, children, other family members, friends, neighbors and co workers onthe job. We say that &ldquo;we love and care about them. We see and hear them make not sosmart and wise choices...</p>]]>

I digressThere would be no &ldquo;cheerios with almond milk or bagel with cream cheese this morning.A heartfelt story that was shared with me and I felt lead to ask&rdquo;Oprah who was her tissuesupplier&rdquo;. In a instant my mind was racing and it took me to&rdquo;the old York peppermint pattiecommercial. Only difference was , I was trapped in quicksand.The rope I reached for wasa rattlesnake( to me a snake is a good belt around your waist).

Little did I know, my best friend at the time sangright next to her. I was invited to one of their performances and &ldquo;it was different for me&rdquo;.That was just part of my beginning with paying attention to voices. This all got startedlistening to the radio announcers especially ones who broadcast sports I liked.There would be one who broadcasted a show on saturdays called&rdquo;This week in theNFL. His voice was once described as&rdquo;the voice of God. Add to that voice overannouncers who you hear on TV commercials and movie trailers.
