+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ I'm floating down the stream of life, On waters fresh and clear. Bubbles rising from the depths, Carry off my every fear. The babbling is like music, That soothes my very soul. I listen to the sounds of life, And the beauty they extol. I drift nice and easy, Just going with the flow. I no longer fight the river, Since I've learned to let go. I now live in harmony, With all surrounding me. But what is most important, ~ I'm at peace with who I Be. +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ |

Must be nice. I like the flow, go with the flow baby -- yeah, sounds good. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Kahlil ~ No. I never did get the hang of "pushing" the river ~ and that is just as well! Going with the flow is so much easier! Nice & easy does it!  EA |

Chris ~ Yes, inner peace is definitely a blessing. I do, however, still have my less than peaceful moments, but they are fewer and far between. May you forever go with the flow! Linda |

suthern ~ Hi, Dear Belle of the South! Nice to have you drop by for a little visit! When I finally got tired of fighting the proverbial river, I gave in and decided to go with the flow. I never really had all the answers to life's problems anyway! Now I hand them over to the Universe and get on with the joyous aspects of living! Duh! Who'd uv thunk it! It really works ~ and so much better than when I tried to be in control of everything! lol I literally let go and let God! Love ya! EA |

Ah...there is nothing greater than being at peace with yourself, as the old adage goes, if you don't like yourself, how can anyone else? |

 (smiles) Losing ourselves in the blessings of the world is one of the most wonderful feelings to me, and I always love researching alternative lifestyles and ways to feel and think and appreciate life, when it can be as simple as petting a puppy in the park to relax your heart! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Garysgirl ~ I was pleased to learn that all was well. I had been growing concerned by your absence that is why I felt the need to email you. I had also been missing your presences here at Pip! You do brighten up these blue skies with your love poems to your Honey Bear! Love to you both! Linda |

Noah ~ I was always searching as well. In fact I have been baptized in four churches! Now I am a spiritualist and feel closer to God than ever before in my life. I now know what it truly means to feel joy-full! I let go and let God ~ and He loves me as I am! I trust in His guidance and know that everything will ultimatlely work out for my highest good! This is a peaceful way of living ~ both within myself and with my dealings with others. Love & Friendship Light, Linda |
