      I really like studying the smiles on peoples faces. Music is definately for the soul and art is an endless exspression of who we are and what we dream. Depression has complicated my otherwise joyful feeling in life but I always strive for hope.

      I wish I could give you
      Dreams upon which you would build your future
      Memories as a foundation,
      Tears with which you would
      wash your soul
      Laughter on which you would dine
      Music to fall asleep on
      Rays of golden sunshine with which you would awake
      Rain with which you
      would grow
      And Love, whose seeds
      you would sow,
      wherever you might go

      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

      Just got back from work and picked up my son from care home. He'll be staying home from now on. He's on meds and so I,ll be monitoring and helping to take care of him. In the meantime I,m really trying to keep my anxiety at check.

    • Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      Hello!! Everyone, so much easier to talk to people with the fingers tapping away at the keys then to do it in person. I've had social anxiety all my life. Mostly afraid of speaking in groups,in front of an audience or even talking on the phone. I also suffer with depression and anxiety. I've found I've been imbaressed most of my life and shy. I get tired of feeling this way. I know it's not rational some times but my mind seems to want to sabotage me into thinking the worst.

    • Open Caregivers

      Hi'I've been a caregiver for over five years and I,m looking into becoming a IP for my son who is bi-Polar. I struggle with depression and anxiety but find that caregiving takes alot of time away from thinking of my on problems. I also live with my 70ish mother who is able but needing help also. I hope that talking with all the folks who come to this site will be another step in the right direction for me.
