Changes You won't change unless you want to. No one changes until they hope to. I can change me Only you can change you. We both could change if we really wanted to. Jameslee@January1995 |

James... this simplistic yet well thought out piece really hit home with me. you are quite smart my friend...and have a way of communicating those feelings/thoughts on paper. *applause*. you are so right...we only change if we WANT to...and no one can MAKE another person change. take care, amy  ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

There is so much truth in this, and most people don't believe folks can change! You can do anything you set your mind to, I always say. And I know for a fact, change is possible, if you truly want it, you will find a way to do it. AMEN! LOL Short and so darn sweet! Loved it! |

James~ Interesting thoughts. Most profound is - 'I can change me Only you can change you' If only more people realized that. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Change, unless you want to be stagnated and only you can do it to yourself. The message is clear.. Simple, yet profound from you James.

The winds of change can sometimes be a good thing, so long as the change is a postitive one. Sometimes we think we want people to change, then the rare times they actaully do, we want them back how they were. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Marina |

How true, how true. You nailed it beautifully. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

James, So simple and so true. No one change anyone else...only we can change ourselves. Great work here. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

I loved the responses...thank you all very much. Marina my first wife wanted me to change and to be less controlling and when I did she told me she liked me better the way I was before. She liked having someone in control. I have changed quite a bit for myself and I like the person that I am today. James |
