I had lost part of me being married to a very dominant personality, and being one myself I thought I would not lose touch. I am one who tries to see both sides, one who tries to please sometimes that is impossible if you want to really be yourself. I was getting lost. Now I have set free the ball from the chain. I am remembering how I enjoyed life. An optimist by heart Setting free my inhibitions knowing I can dance in celebration I can laugh I am recovering , rediscovering I can still believe in Santa Claus yet , know I can survive without him. Winning never gets old losing sometimes makes you stronger my eyes are open now, I’m holding on with both hands. Not wanting to lose myself again... But using the experience In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

Bravo, Salty...  I believe that's what we're supposed to do...learn from our mistakes. I'm glad to hear that you're "being yourself" again. I'm sad to say, that I didn't have that kind of strength until my dominant husband passed away. Then, my Love came into my life and he encourages me to just be "ME". It sure does feel good, too......  "Love makes the world go around" |

Thank you gg.....I wonder what it is that takes us so long ? Well at least I am alive again. Storing the memories in hopes that I never forget, but not dwelling on them. |

Salty, the wonder of it is that through every experience...no matter whether is is good or not....we learn....Usually it is the "we forget" that gets us in deep Kimchi again....(another word for hot water) Good on ya, and don't look back!! |

Like they say, Salty, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I'm happy for you  p.s. Don't let Toerag know you believe in Santa now or you'll see some fat guy in a red suit with a three day stubble and dirty socks showing up at your door!  |

a Tone of Voice Thank you dear sister....I would not have made it without your support. Earth Angel You are very kind ....Keep holding that light up for me. Kind of like a poetic version of Motel 6  Magnus You are absolutely right. I hope I never forget it completley because I don't want to have to visit there again. Kimchi huh? I'll have to remember that one. *S* Thank you for stopping in . Balladeer Not a nice place to visit and sure don't want to live there.....taking this experience and using it for a better version of living . Toerag Santa..what a visual ...dirty socks and all.  Paul What a beautiful thing to say Tomorrow brings a new day with hopes and dreams anew. Waste them not... these days of freedom given to you. Now thats a keeper. !!!!!!!  Thank you for that angel smile. |

Salty...Balladeer was talking about himself....Yassee, if you act like you have this "thing" for Toerag, he'll get jealous, put on a Santa suit, and try to get you to Kiss Santa Claus, he'll tempt you with Ho Ho Ho's and cheap gifts...

JamesMichael It's that way of learning something that you makes you never want to forget. The most successful teacher. Thank you for reading. Toerag I am sure going to have to be careful with all these Santa's running around. I won't know who's who. I will be checking for dirty socks and scargly beards though. Of course there will be no problem about giving me gifts...I'll accept those just fine. NOT CHEAP ONES EITHER!!!! [This message has been edited by Salty (12-11-2002 12:02 PM).] |
