I accepted you on your terms because it worked for me and sounded good to you daring to believe that I finally understood. After putting myself out there waiting for the sun to shine as the rain fell down tossing and turning beneath the sheets. Warm in the cleansing as lightening struck the sky filled with the emptiness that has drained me so many times. Alone again and self absorbed ultimately, taking flight in my own happiness soaring within the confines of my limitations and the joy that bares my heart.

Self-absorbed is a good way to be at times! It can be very healing! ~ and btw, there are no confines to your spirit! You soar!   Linda |

you've allways had this smoothness in your writing that I envy. while I write with my shock effect and irrelevance, everything you write blends so perfectly  insanity is not a crime |

It does take a third level, doesn't it? That's the real trick. Easy to find someone who wants to make themselves happy, and almost as easy to find someone who wants to make you both happy. But it's oh so hard to find someone whose happiness will reside in yours, who wants happiness, yes, but won't have it fully, unless it comes from giving you joy. They're out there, but they're a lucky find. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Thank you all, for your positive thoughts and feedback. We can only be all that we can be, and I am simply me. *shrugging my shoulders* Simply sounds so easy doesn't it, but it's sure a lot of work sometimes. I do appreciate you all, more than you will ever know. |

Hello, Lori  I've always thought that it's a great thing when we find this ability that you have found....to love ourselves enough to work at making out own selves happy. When we have accomplished that, we then have the ability to love someone else enough to make them happy, too. Sometimes the other person we love just hasn't accomplished that yet. Does that make sense? Hugs to you, my friend Ethel |

Lori "Alone again and self absorbed ultimately, taking flight in my own happiness soaring within the confines of my limitations and the joy that bares my heart." I love the idea of taking flight in own happiness...sounds like joy to me. |

it's funny Lori how the terms never seem to be mutual or a compromise... well I've finally realized if someone can't meet me halfway, they weren't worth meeting at all. hugssss M |

Warm in the cleansing as lightening struck the sky filled with the emptiness that has drained me so many times. =========================== those are some heart string playing personifications there me girlie... youve penned a bittersweet beauty here Lori-girl.  Nothing wrong with being self absorbed... after all, we are usually our own best company ( or is that enemy) A little of both when we're talking bout mothy me  "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

It's been an emotional week, unlike any other week mind you. I have so enjoyed my time in Maine, and those family ties that hold me close. Thanks to you all for your continued support, and for all the kindness you have shown to me. I'll catch up on my reading when I get back. I swear, vacations never last long enough, seems I just got here, and I don't want to go home again....  Many many hugs...I feel truly blessed to be sharing the same page with the likes of you. And I thank you, sincerely. |

seeing this for the first time... Lori, it's your honesty that intoxicates and always seems to crystalize your message. Rf [This message has been edited by Robert Frazier (08-13-2003 06:57 PM).] |

quote: You know ... sometimes having the nerve to actually stay alone with yourself for long enough to understand your wants vs needs, is a gift. I stayed there a bit too long, and love it in the company of one, as there is such a huge difference between being lonely and being alone. Oh, sorry did I say I got this, and liked it a lot? No! Well I do. |
