I have had this poem for years and always found it inspiring. It means more to me now than ever. I hope you all like it.
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
You learn to build your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and you decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and you really do have worth
And you learn and learn...and you learn
With every goodbye you learn.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
