    • About Me

      single. solitary. living too far away from my support system which seems to only be my family right now whether they know it or not. love my nieces and nephews but dont get to see them much since i live so far away. love sunny days more than ever. i have proved to myself that i can live on my own and support myself but wondering if that is enough. unfortunately i know that i am no good at the socializing or building of friendships. i can do the basics but prefer to be by myself. i am a better more logical person when i am by myself. not sure if that makes sense to anyone but i am hoping to break this behavior and looking forward to hearing of others successes, failures, joys and empathies. thank you for being there.

      creating. as long as I can be artistic in some way, I am happier. Right now my creative outlets are crocheting, reading & drawing. Work allows for creativity as well but it isn't the same.

      Do intentions count as steps to a goal? Cause I got all the intentions in the world.

      You're a friend For all times If you planted hope today In any hopeless heart If someone's burden was lighter Because you did your part If you made someone laugh out loud And kept their tears at bay Then today has been For you my friend A very special day

      What Matters Most Is The... by: Eisie Perera, , Source Unknown It isn't the size of your house as such That matters so much at all. It's the gentle hand and its loving touch, That make it great or small. The friends who come and the hour they Who out of your house depart, Will judge it not by the style you show, But rather by the size of your heart. It isn't the size of your head so much, It isn't the wealth you found. That will make you happy -- it's how you touch The lives that are all around. For making money is not hard -- To live life well is an art: How people love you, how they regard, Is all in the size of your heart.

      Alabaster Boxes by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up, until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them. The kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say them before they go. The flowers you mean to send-use to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered when I need them. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand. Post-mortem kindness do not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers cast no fragrance backward over the weary way.

    • Little Love

      From Beth35 February 13

      Happy Valentine's Day on Saturday! I am sending around an inspirational message about beauty. I hope all my women friends know how beautiful you are inside and outside, and remember how special you are. Beauty is a thing seldom seen, no one sees it because no one looks. Or at least not in the right place. Beauty is held by all, within the soul it lies. Waiting to come out to the surface, only it can't. Beauty is suppressed by the evils of the world, only love can bring beauty out. Once seen, beauty never hides again. Not even hatred can deny beauty of it's true design. Beauty although possessed by all, will only ever be truly seen by few. And fewer yet will ever see, one of the most beautiful sights, the beauty held by you!

      What I have... to give you To be honest with you, I do not have the words to make you feel better - But I do have arms to give you a hug - I have ears to listen to anything you want to talk about - I have eyes to see the pain you are going through - I have feet, to walk to you the minute you need me - And I have a heart - a heart that is aching to see you smile again.

    • Close Seasonal Affective Disorder

      More and more the sunshine keeps me buoyant. I have come to depend on Mother Nature to help me thru my life. She isn't always able and on those days, I have problems moving thru life. i have tried the light boxes and i am undecided on its effectiveness but i do take meds to help. Would love to chat or meet others with this type of depression to share and learn more about living with this state of being.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      Lost my Grandmother in 2005 and father in 2007. With each loss, I have become progressively more sad and depressed. I lean towards depression anyways but this particular life event has brought my sadness to a focus. I am hoping to connect with anyone who wishes. Loss of any kind is hard to live with let alone accept. Hugs to everyone and thank you.
