Dear Gambling Disease,
I am writing to inform you that you suck it wasn't just a buck.
When you said just one more
I wish I would have slammed the door.
You kept promising an exciting life
but the payouts proved exhausting strife .
You keep begging to stay
yet I keep pushing you away.

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

"The Hole"
It is deep,
it is sharp,
it was a shattered
piece of my heart!
It's been there,
it's tore apart,
strewn about
right from the start.
Who knows why,
Oh! does it show?
Cuz it began
so long ago.
When it took
it's first blow,
that flung it about
to and fro.
It finally gave in,
the pressure built up,
the pain it did boil
and it did erupt!
It will move on,
will be patched up.
I know this now,

A strong woman versus a woman of strength
A strong woman works out every day
to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength looks deep inside
to keep her soul in shape
A strong woman isn't afraid
of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won't let anyone
get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best
of her to everyone
A strong woman ...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
Why is love so hard to bear,
When it hurts so much that you care,
When they hurt you so bad that you wanna die,
and yet somedays you feel as if you could fly,
Right up to the sky safe in their arms,
How easily you succum to their charms,
Why does something so good have to hurt,
Sometimes it feels like they're only after whats under your skirt.
Why does love have to hurt?
When you're happy everythi...1 Recommendation16 Comments -
A question in one of our groups caused me to dig out one of my favorite poems by Amy Carmichael, I know I posted it in my journal at least a year or more ago, but it is one you couldn't go wrong to read again, especially if there is anything in your life that is less than p e r f e c t !!!!

A new year is upon us
The old has passed away
May we ever feel God's sunshine
As He leads us thru each day.
The trials there were many
The tears more than a few
And yet He held us in His arms
And gave us hope anew.
He knows of all our heartache
He feels our every pain
And tho we oft do fail Him
His love it does remain.
Let's look upon the new year
As a blessing from our Lord

It was very peaceful there.

This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...3 Recommendations8 Comments -
One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
and go to the zoo. These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
Point Defiance Zoo.
Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
snapped. I just love this picture.
Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.
