something i found on a positive thoughts website.... made me think...
What is Love?
Love is a wonderful gift .It's a present so precious words can barely begin to describe it.
Love is a feeling , the deepest and sweetest of all.It's incredibly strong and amazingly gentle at the very same time.
It is a blessing that should be counted every day.It is nourishment for the soul.
It is devotion , constantly letting each person know how supportive its certainty can be.
Love is a heart filled with affection for the most important person in your life.
Love is looking at the special someone who makes your world go around and absolutely loving what you see.
Love gives meaning to one's world and magic to a million hopes and dreams.
It makes the morning shine more brightly and each season seem like it's the nicest one anyone ever had.
Love is an invaluable bond that enriches every good thing in life.It gives each hug a tenderness,
each heart a happiness , each spirit a steady lift.
Love is an invisible connection that is exquisitely felt by those who know the joy ,feel the warmth , share the sweetness , and celebrate the gift.

I’ve been reading a book on the Irish and the role they played in the Civil War. In the last few chapters it was recalling the incidents of the First Battle of Bull Run July 21,1861…. Next year will mark the 150th anniversary…it made me recall a letter that I first encountered while watching the Ken Burns Civil War series on PBS the words taken from the letter and spoken out loud have resonated with me from that day forward..
What an incredible document of love ,faith ,compassion and devotion… so I share it with you now…
Sullivan Ballou Letter
July 14, 1861
Camp Clark, Washington
My very dear Sarah:
The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days—perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more . . .
I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans on the triumph of the Government and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and sufferings of the Revolution. And I am willing—perfectly willing—to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt . . .
Sarah my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me unresistibly on with all these chains to the battle field.
The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I have enjoyed them for so long. And hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when, God willing, we might still have lived and loved together, and seen our sons grown up to honorable manhood, around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me—perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar, that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battle field, it will whisper your name. Forgive my many faults and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless and foolish I have often times been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears every little spot upon your happiness . . .
But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights . . . always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath, as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by. Sarah do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again . . .
Sullivan Ballou was killed a week later at the first Battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861.
Born March 28, 1829 in Smithfield, R.I., Ballou was educated at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.; Brown University in Providence, R.I. and the National Law School in Ballston, N.Y. He was admitted to the Rhode Island Bar in 1853.
Ballou devoted his brief life to public service. He was elected in 1854 as clerk of the Rhode Island House of Representatives, later serving as its speaker.
He married Sarah Hart Shumway on October 15, 1855, and the following year saw the birth of their first child, Edgar. A second son, William, was born in 1859.
Ballou immediately entered the military in 1861 after the war broke out. He became judge advocate of the Rhode Island militia and was 32 at the time of his death at the first Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861.
When he died, his wife was 24. She later moved to New Jersey to live out her life with her son, William, and never re-married. She died at age 80 in 1917.
Sullivan and Sarah Ballou are buried next to each other at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, RI. There are no known living descendants.
Ironically, Sullivan Ballou’s letter was never mailed. Although Sarah would receive other, decidedly more upbeat letters, dated after the now-famous letter from the battlefield, the letter in question would be found among Sullivan Ballou’s effects when Gov. William Sprague of Rhode Island traveled to Virginia to retrieve the remains of his state’s sons who had fallen in battle.

shut your eyes
I absolutely love the etheral nature of this song. I saw Snow patrol last summer open for U2 and they were really good... love songs and although simplistic in nature their was this aura about the songs. just totally were able to set a mood and draw me in. I was some what familiar with them... knowing "chasing cars" but somehow this song really does it for me too... enjoy...
"Shut Your Eyes"- snow patrol
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well
And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair
And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me
And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, yeah, our secret space at will
(Shut your eyes [x4])
Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me) [x4]

Be grateful simply for being alive.
Be grateful simply for being alive.
When you are grateful for life, pure and simple,
your life becomes one you can be grateful for.
That may strike you as circular or even backward logic,
but your attitude really does have an effect on how things work out.
When you can’t change your life any other way,
you can still change your attitude.
When you do, your life changes.
You find more chances to love,
and you will be surprised to see how much more love is returned to you.
The next time someone says, “It’s a lovely day,”
try saying, “Yes, it is.”
Today is always the best day of your life

Positive thoughts
Life is a Journey.
Taken from http://positive-thoughts.typepad.com/
There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be.
That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.
There are times when people disappoint you and let you down , but those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions , to keep your life focused on believing in yourself and all that you are capable of .
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life , and it is up to you to accept them. Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you.
It may not be easy at times , but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are , and you will also see yourself developing into the person you have always wanted to be.
Life is a journey through time , filled with many choices ; each of us will experience life in our own special way. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities , remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be , because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the dreams that you know are meant to come true for you.

Status messages that share - Experience,Strength and Hope
♥ things never stay the same and people come and go, but today ur here with me and i love ya for that ♥
You know you have my heart....treat it as if it yours and i'll do the same with yours.
If no one gave you a friendly ((HUG)) today, If no one gave you a warm SMILE :) If no one said they miss you and care about you.... then I am now!!!!! may your day be filled with all the happiness and joy your higher power wishes you to have :)
"Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
Mother Teresa
As i sit here./ watching you leave./ im in pain./ your leaving me./ things got so messed up./ i didnt mean to ./ so numb yet so much pain.
my heart smiles when i think of you :) ♥
Willingness and action embraced with hope, faith and spirituality.
"Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it." — Dan Millman
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision that something is more important that your fear." - Princess Diaries
"Never settle for being second best when you know you deserve to be first, letting go isn't a sign of weakness its a sign you're strong enough to move on"
It's a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship.... it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Music generates a kind of pleasure
without which human nature can not do.
works boring. home is blah and i keep on looking around..
but im really trying to stop. stay positive. and forget about who or what is around me and just change... ME!
Who or what are you looking for that you can not find?
Today I step into a new space, previously unexplored...courage, my companion, and curiosity...I do not long or need to re-visit old ideas or experiences...let me only embrace what is unknown and unfamiliar...this, the nature of my longing for life and love and experience...new and untried...daring and bold and exciting...a new way of living each day...a new way of seeing and believing and loving...oh boy! Here I go!
Just be patient, darling. God has great things planned for you.
if u ask me I'm ready
"Never settle for being second best when you know you deserve to be first, letting go isn't a sign of weakness its a sign you're strong enough to move on"
Strength is taking a look at where you are and, from there, getting to where you want to be, no matter how hard it is or how long it takes to get there
I thank God for my amazing family & friends & the opportunities that come my way! Life is such a blessing!! Each day remember this & smile!!

Humility -- a Nourishing Ingredient
Daily Reflections
A NOURISHING INGREDIENT, p.204
Where humility had formerly stood for a forced feeding on humble pie
it now begins to mean the nourishing ingredient which can give us
serenity.
12 & 12, p.74
How often do I focus on my problems and frustrations? When I am
having a "good day" these same problems shrink in importance
and my preoccupation with them dwindles. Wouldn't it be better if
I could find a key to unlock the "magic" of my "good days" for use
on the woes of my "bad days?"
I already have the solution! Instead of trying to run away from
my pain and wish my problems away, I can pray for humility!
Humility will heal the pain. Humility will take me out of myself.
Humility, that strength granted me by that "power greater than
myself," is mine for the asking! Humility will bring balance back
into my life. Humility will allow me to accept my humanness
joyously.

Drama Llama Theory
Theory on Drama --
i might be able to write a good screen play ,
i might even be able to act my part reasonably well....
but eventually i will be reminded who is directing things...
and that nice lil Drama turns into a Tragic Comedy real quick :)
so even though I might find food in the field,
I don't need to graze around Drama Llamas for too long :)

No One Is To Blame ~ Howard Jones
You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin
And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules, and live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost
And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her, and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can see the summit but you can't reach it
Its the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her, and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame
No one ever is to blame

A Love Companion (2005)
A Love companion
Fully alive Trusting Open
Desperately desiring me
Physically Sexually
Someone that makes me smile
Every time I see her
My heart skips a beat
And my breath escapes me
Like getting punched in the kidneys
I can’t keep my eyes off of her
“and I can’t stop touching her”
Anna begins on the radio –
“and then suddenly she disappears…”
“ I’m not ready for this sort of thing”
I wake up crying once again
That’s what happens when the
Love of your life decides your nothing
More than “Wasted time”
Ten minute conversations that changed my life
“In the dark of night, by my side”
They call them Instant Messages
For a very good reason
Frustrating the both of us
“Married, but not to each other”
In my mind, but not really true
Virtual reality, the pseudo wife
Online love connecting us
The miles between seem like nothing
Broken promises while I show up
With my “pocket full of gold”
Seeking desperately to
Heal your lifetime of heartache….
****************************************
All quote are lines to song or a title of one…
First quotes are Counting crows song – Anna begins
Wasted time – by the eagles
Married, but not to each other – old country song.. not sure who
By my side- INXS
Pocket full of gold- Vince Gill

If only
If only
If only I was there with you
Instead of dreaming of that moment
Then you would be able to tell
Why I love you without regret
Just how much I have to give to you
And how willing I am to do just that
I wish I could make my words more sensual
So you could feel the love I have to give
I mean more than something purely sexual
It’s like you’re the air by which I live
Just to glance into your lover’s eyes
Holding hands on the loveseat
Gaze into your smiling face
Baby, what happens when we meet
If only you were mine
For more than brief moments at a time
If only I could show exactly
How much I have to give to you
If only I could express
This beating in my chest
The warmness in my heart
I hope never do we part
My hand in yours
We walk through life
If only this was more than a dream
But something forever true
If only things were different
There would be - me and you
If only I was there with you
Instead of dreaming of that moment
Then you would be able to tell
Why I love you without regret
Just how much I have to give to you
And how willing I am to do just that
I wish I could make my words more sensual
So you could feel the love I have to give
I mean more than something purely sexual
It’s like you’re the air by which I live
Just to glance into your lover’s eyes
Holding hands on the loveseat
Gaze into your smiling face
Baby, what happens when we meet
If only you were mine
For more than brief moments at a time
If only I could show exactly
How much I have to give to you
If only I could express
This beating in my chest
The warmness in my heart
I hope never do we part
My hand in yours
We walk through life
If only this was more than a dream
But something forever true
If only things were different
There would be - me and you
Time (clock Of The Heart) ~ Culture Club
was listening to this Retro pop reunion show last night...
and besides just taking me back to a different time and place...
these lyrics really spoke to me.
Time (clock Of The Heart)
Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears
In time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we touch was the heat too much
I felt I lost you from the start
In time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothin but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
Oh in time it could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothin but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
and besides just taking me back to a different time and place...
these lyrics really spoke to me.

i love stealing statuses
one of my fave things to do lately is read friends statuses online or THEIR friends...which is totally random and stalkerish but i dont care lol
but ive gotten some GREAT inspirational stuff and just read words that tug at my heart... here are some that called out to me today... enjoy :)
Im sitting here, Thinking about you.
How did this happen?
How did i become so painstakingly addicted to you?.
Promise me one thing though,
Let me always be in your heart! ♥
Saying "I love you" doesn't have to be spoken aloud,
it is a feeling that can be whispered
from heart to heart without saying a word! ♥
