It's okay to need help. It's okay to accept help. It's okay to ask for help. You're not a failure just because you needed help. I have to say this to myself 1000 times a week. Maybe it will sink in eventually.

Kittygrrl, brilliant! Without self love, how can we ever hope to love others? I used to conflate self love with conceit, but all it really means is learning to advocate, trust, respect and care for ourselves. Once that becomes a habit, I believe we learn to accept nothing less from others.

I've learned that yesterday is gone and tomorrow is a mystery, but if I focus on having a good today, it predicts a good tomorrow, and if I keep at it, my yesterdays will make for good memories.

But most importantly, I have learned that you don't have to try on pants to know whether they'll fit. All you have to do is wrap the waistband around your neck and if the two sides connect, they'll fit.

If this had not worked, I wasn't going to post. How on earth did you learn that?

Loving a child is unlike any other sort of love.
I thought I understood what it was to love someone. I have been in love. I have lost myself in love. I love.
Yet, it was my son who taught me the true feeling and sense of love. He was in the icu recovering after an operation gone terribly wrong which left him near death. In the quiet of those silent bedside nights praying for his recovery and praying with all my being that I could take his place, my epiphany arrived: "Love" for me is unconditional, selfless, patient, inviolable and pure. How much this young man teaches me.

That sometimes you gotta forget the past, give up holding grudges, and give people(including family) another chance.

Anger and resentment stick around and will play hide and seek with you, when you don't want it to.

Lifesymphony · 09-25-2018, 01:12 PM

As a lady, I don't need/want to be informed of the vulgar street phrases for intimate activities.
...I just want to share them and hear you say "mmmmmm, good girl"

JDeere · 09-25-2018, 04:58 PM

Don't say permanent hurtful thoughts just because you're temporarily upset.
