      The Heart

      The heart is a complicated, complexity...

      it holds the key to beauty and dreams,

      to wisdom and strength,

      to hope and faith,
      to Love that always lasts

      The heart knows the meaning of fear,

      the depths of pain,

      the struggles within that can't ever be explained

      The heart knows all about letting go of the past,

      learning to forgive and forget,

      finding the faith to still give, despite the worst you've seen

      The heart knows about insecurity,

      the fear of being left alone,
      without that special someone

      The heart knows about making mistakes,

      failures, finding the strength to go on

      despite that struggle

      The heart is an amazing thing

      it has the ability to grow stronger through pain,

      to become more, to gain

      from the sadness it has seen

      The heart understands

      even when the mind says
      that we've nothing to gain by being a friend,

      sharing our strength,
      being there for others when they are in pain

      The heart is gentle, yet strong,

      giving and warm,

      the heart is the one

      that makes up the person that we are !!!

      Heart Prints

      By Author Unknown





      Whatever our hands touch...we leave
      fingerprints on.
      On walls, on furniture, on door knobs,
      dishes and books.

      As we touch we leave our identity..
      Oh please where ever I go today...
      help me leave heart prints.

      Heart prints of compassion,
      understanding and love.
      Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.

      May my heart touch a lonely neighbor...
      or a runaway daughter...
      or an anxious mother...
      or perhaps a dear friend!

      I shall go out today...
      to leave heart prints...
      and if some one should say...
      "I felt your touch!"

      Friendship vs. Love
      by: Nathan Stutte, Source Unknown



      Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust
      Love is when you feel like you are the only two around

      Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care
      Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart

      Friendship is being close even when you are far apart
      Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart when they are not near

      Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best
      Love is when you bring them the very best

      Friendship occupies your mind
      Love occupies your soul

      Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there when in need
      Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side

      Friendship is a warm smile in the winter
      Love is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart

      Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares
      A tender laugh, which opens your heart
      A single touch that melts away your fears
      A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven
      A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth

      Friendship can survive without love
      Love cannot live without friendship

      Keep Swimming
      by: Author Unknown, A Month of Inspiration



      Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl.
      One was an optimistic soul.
      But the other took the gloomy view.
      "We'll drown," he lamented without much ado,
      and with a last despairing cry,
      he flung up his legs and said "Goodbye."

      Quote the other frog with a steadfast grin,
      "I can't get out but I won't give in,
      I'll just swim around till my strength is spent,
      then I'll die the more content."
      Bravely he swam to work his scheme,
      and his struggles began to churn the cream.

      The more he swam, his legs a flutter,
      the more the cream turned into butter.
      On top of the butter at last he stopped,
      and out of the bowl he gaily hopped.

      What is the moral? It's easily found...
      If you can't hop out, keep swimming around!

      Treatments

      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      in the past but effects wore off
      Prozac Not Working
      first anti-depressant prescribed with no effect - unsure if it was because I was so very low before I went to my dr's
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Did help although it uncovered a lot of feelings I had "forgotten " about or hidden which did hurt and I have never really addressed since
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      my family have given up on me - can't blame them really
