    I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

    Conrad Black

    Quite a powerful quote! Cause Bullys SUCK:angry::yawn: :bigsmile:

    "Gandhi was right: if we all live by 'an eye for an eye' the whole world will be blind.
    The only way out is forgiveness."

    "We forgive freely or we do not really forgive at all."

    Complaining only exasperates the problem by focusing your attention on what
    is wrong in your life rather than focusing on taking actions to solve it or
    accepting the situation as is and finding peace with it.:heart:

    A righteous man is cautious in friendship--

    Bad company corrupts good character--

    These are the two scripture verses (don't ask me for the reference-- ) I use most in counseling my children to be very cautious in choosing their friends and with whom they associate.

    Works for us grown-ups, too-- :bigsmile:

    And you, my friend, are a dear for being the one here that encouraged me ( I don't even know if you know that ) to open up and get back to being ME. And through your support, as well as some other lovely friends here, I'm opening up in a way I don't know that I ever have.

    I'm a closed person emotionally-- I'll talk your ear off, but will still keep people at arm's length-- but, walls are coming down here, and it's helping in other areas of life, as well.

    So, go figure-- God can use any medium, can't He, to achieve His good purpose for us.

    Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow.
    The same Everlasting Father, who takes care of you today,
    will take care of you tomorrow.
    He will either shield you from suffering,
    or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
    Be at peace then,
    and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
    ~ Saint Francis de Sales


    "Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines." ~ Leroy "Satchel" Paige

    "Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others." ~ Cicero

    Keep your curiosity fresh. ~ John Singer Sargent

    Wherever you are, be all there. ~ Jim Eliot

    For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:17-18

    To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it. ~ G. K. Chesterton

    I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean. ~ G. K. Chesterton

    It takes a very long time to become young. ~ Pablo Picasso

    "Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow." ~ Mary Jean Irion

    "It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do." ~ Winston Churchill, on joy.

    …what had seemed insoluble to him while he was judging, blaming, and hating, had become clear and simple when he forgave and loved. ~ Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

    “Over the years I have discovered that much of my struggle to be content despite outside circumstances has arisen when I stubbornly resisted what was actually happening in my life at the present moment. . . . Acceptance illuminates reality so that we’re better able to see the next step.” ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

    Thought for the day
    Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words
    Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions
    Be careful of actions, for your actions become your habits
    Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character
    Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your Destiny

    It's that time of year and memories are flooding my mind........I find this so eloquent, sad yet beauftiful all at the same time.........:heart::cry:
    *******************************************************************************************************

    Memories


    They say memories are golden
    Well maybe that's true
    But we never wanted memories
    We only wanted you.



    A million times we've needed you
    A million times we've cried
    If love alone could have saved you
    You never would have died.



    In life we loved you dearly
    In death we love you still
    In our hearts you hold a special place
    No one could ever fill.



    If tears could build a staircase
    And heartache build a lane
    We'd walk the path to heaven
    And bring you back again.



    Our family chain is broken
    And nothing seems the same
    But as God calls us one by one
    The chain will link again.

    Pennies From Heaven


    I found a penny today
    Just laying on the ground
    But it's not just a penny
    This little coin I've found



    Found pennies come from heaven
    That's what my Grandpa told me
    He said Angels toss them down
    Oh, how I loved that story



    He said when an Angel misses you
    They toss a penny down
    Sometimes just to cheer you up
    And take away your frown



    So don't pass by that penny
    When you're feeling blue
    It may be a penny from heaven
    That an angel has tossed to you.
