    • Prayer

      From Love4you October 10, 2008

      I asked God to bless you As I prayed for you today. To guide you and protect you As you go along your way... His love is always with you, His promises are true, And when we give Him all our cares You know He will see us through. So when the road you're traveling on Seems difficult at best, Just remember I'm here praying And God will do the rest~Love ,Maria

    • Prayer

      From Love4you September 22, 2008

      Throughout the day, may there be joy in every hour of your journey... Happiness in your eyes and laughter in your voice... Contentment that reaches down to the very depths of your soul... Peace in your mind and love in your heart. May today be one of those rare and beautiful times you'll always remember fondly... A time when hope is restored and dreams come true. And may you take comfort in knowing that I'm here, and I care about you~Love,Maria

      From Love4you September 14, 2008

      There aren’t always words that will comfort you when your day is filled with sorrow or fear.But I wanted to tell you that you are being thought of. That someone does care. And that I am keeping you close in my thoughts and in my prayers~Love,Maria

      From Love4you August 28, 2008

      I cannot ease your aching heart, Nor take your pain away; But let me stay and take your hand And walk with you today. I'll listen when you need to talk, I'll wipe away your tears; I'll share your worries when they come, I'll help you face your fears. I'm here and I will stand by you, On each hill you have to climb; So take my hand, let's face the world... And live just one day at a time. You're not alone, for I'm still here, I'll go that extra mile; And when your grief is easier, I'll help you learn to smile!Love,Maria

      I've had TMJ for about 5 years... it comes and goes right now. I've had issues with it locking (even had a lollipop stuck in my mouth once, was pretty scary!) and hurting a lot. now it only hurts if i'm stressed, talk a lot, or very anxious...

      It worked I suppose, but what really helped was just accepting that TMJ is a part of me.
