+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ I used to be a drama queen, And stresses got me flustered. I'd fret and stew, and spin my wheels, And could not cut the mustard. I'd often be a basket case, ~ Over-sensitive in many ways. I'd worry over everything ~ Getting lost in the haze. I could not see the forest, For the proverbial trees. I'd get lost in consternations, And forever tried to please. One day I simply had enough, And asked the angels what to do. They wrapped me in their loving Light, Saying, "We'll take care of you". "Worry" had been my middle name, But I learned to Lighten up. I no longer run on empty, For I drink from Heaven's cup. +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ |

I could use a drink. Hey, no angels here, just going to a shrink! Why must we feel like we need to please everyone? Whatever, huh? I'm working on it. Glad you found it. Cheers . . . susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

(does happy dance) Oh Linda, I come from exactly the same place too, yay! So many have been saying to me now in replies that I sound so happy now, and I really am, more than I've ever been (and I haven't even fallen in love yet!). But I also used to be one of the most depressed boys you would have ever met in your neighborhood, abused by school boys and challenged with my differences! I thank God with all my heart, though, for making me just who I am because I believe the adversity has taught me to love and appreciate and respect everything, and light can pierce any darkness! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, angels do not only think alike, but feel alike too, yay, 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 |
