But I believe that these times when we feel lost and all around us seems to  be falling apart are bridges of growth. We struggle and try to recapture the security of that was, but almost in pite of ourselves, we emerge on the other side with a new understanding, a new awareness, a new strength. It is almost as though we must go through the pain and struggle in order to grow and reach ne heights. http://simplegesture.multiply.com/journal/item/88/A_New_Strength...

You can't go back and manipulate things to the way you wanted them to happen. Because life'd be meaningless and boring and just not worth living. But you can change the future and that's a beautiful thing about life. Yes, you will make mistakes. And yes, you will have bad days - but as long as you let the past go, you'll have such a gorgeous and bright future ahead of you. Knowing that things were meant to happen. Knowing that each day you will learn something so that you keep growing to be a better person. Life is like a rope, twined in all its complexities and yet weaved into one marvelous stream that you have the chance you use something amazing from. So grab hold of it. http://simplegesture.multiply.com/journal/item/86/truth_about_Life...._ Wed, 2 Jul 2008 06:30:26 -0000 Jassy's b-day Jassy's b-day held in our place last June http://simplegesture.multiply.com/photos/album/27/Jassys_b-day_ Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:31:53 -0000 Love Is When.... <a href="http://simplegesture.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SGcvLAoKCtgAAEmxbZQ1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.simplegesture.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SGcvLAoKCtgAAEmxbZQ1/three%20red%20roses.jpg?et=auDyDQd81zTwKzsZIBemKQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a>                     Love is when you've waited for all of what seems so long Even when he's holding another you still know that you belong Love is when you hold your ground when he's not by your side You love him and see him for him even though he lied.

It’s a day to honor our fathers, and others who have acted as father figures in our lives - stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, brothers and close friends. The first Father’s Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of each June as Father’s Day. And what does this special day mean to a dad? It’s a day when all dads should enjoy their children and families. A day of fishing or golfing is an All-American favorite for some dads. Moms all around the world will be taking over the BBQ to make a spectacular meal. In recent years, retailers have promoted male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other children’s programs encourage children to make a Father... http://simplegesture.multiply.com/journal/item/83/Happy_Fathers_day_ Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:40:06 -0000 Actions to say...

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, then circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes. http://simplegesture.multiply.com/journal/item/81/Attitude Sun, 1 Jun 2008 14:49:25 -0000 I'll be away for a bit... <A href="http://simplegesture.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SCUz2AoKCtgAAAH2J1I1"><IMG class=alignleft src="http://images.simplegesture.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SCUz2AoKCtgAAAH2J1I1/missyou.jpg?et=fnH%2BY4kIXEgNvSvWemcIAw&nmid=" border=0></A>               Hi friends sorry haven't been here for decades I guess <IMG src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/wink.png"> and I'll be away in a bit again... have to catch my children, they left home last monday and I need to be there next week, leaving here on Wednesday and be back in June.

You discover feelings you never knew you had. The heights of jealousy, passion, anger and affection. Its up to you to be a master or slave to them. Committing into a relationship entails a lot of hard work to keep it because LOVE is an act of the will, to live for another, to give oneself to meet the needs of another. Opening your heart means making room for love, patience, understanding and sacrifice. Loving a person is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it likely to remain intact but hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost. You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. Is it love?.... Probably NOT if... Assumes the other person will change to please you. Causes feelings of insecurity or jealousy, Appeared "love at first".

There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream, and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down. When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or return to it's original position, the word resilience comes to mind. When used in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's emotions. Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.

Since all the qualities were bored they decided to play hide & seek. "Madness" was one of the qualities and he shouted: "I want to count, I want to count!" And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek "Madness", all the other qualities agreed. So "Madness" leaned against a tree and started to count: "One, two,three... " As "Madness" counted, the qualities went hiding. "Treason" hid in a pile of garbage.. "Lie" said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake. And Madness continued to count "... seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..." By this time, all the qualities were already hidden except "Love ". For stupid as "Love" is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide "Love".

Each is received at various times by one in distress. And each feels different when received. Each has a different effect on those who are suffering in the midst of psychic or physical crisis. Of the four, compassion has a unique quality, a quality so different from the rest that it connotes a certain spiritual as well as emotional characteristic. Perhaps for this reason it is often cited in spiritual/religious texts as a virtue to be sought and developed. The recipient of compassion feels its superiority immediately. Unlike pity, it has no condescension. Unlike empathy, it does not require a past or present similar experience on the part of the giver. And while sympathy is a wonderful virtue, it connotes less spontaneity and variety than compassion; one would not normally associate laughter or frivolity with sympathy, for example.

So many hopeless romantics believe that love is the solution to life's problems. Many people confuse lust with love, over and over again. There are people who change lovers often, because they thrive on the excitement of the initial stages of love. These are just some of the more exaggerated examples that come to mind. Many of us have our own erroneous expectations about love. These expectations can set us up for disappointment down the road. What we believe about relationships affects our attitudes toward our relationships. If our expectations are unrealistic, we will inevitably be disappointed with our partners. Many people enter into relationships with the expectation that, if they find the right person, the relationship will take no work or effort. This is a totally unrealistic expectation.

In doing so, the heart is diminished. Fissures form. Love leaks out. Every pain given in return for one received, changes the contents of the heart. It is no longer defined by love, wisdom and understanding. It is redefined by the bearers of hurt and hate, pain and prejudice, meanness and madness, sorrow and sadness. You give away control of your very own heart. The despair of being hurt is healed by overcoming it, not clinging to the hurt and inflicting more of it on the world. When darkness is added to darkness, no one can see, no one can love. Everyone loses. Love is not always warm and fuzzy. Sometimes it's the integrity we hold on to when we're tempted to strike back. Sometimes it's the honor that keeps us from exchanging the valuable contents of our heart for the harsh satisfaction of lashing back.
