I really have no reasons for it...
But I am...
I'm thinking about OMC and the loss of his beautiful Stacey...
And what this must mean to him and his boys...
I'm also thinking about my life...
The people I've known and loved...
They have come and gone, and they have left their marks on my heart and soul...
Some days I am so full of sorrow, and others so full of joy...
And love is always the reason...
It is always worth it, though...
For me, to love is to be alive...
Whatever pain comes with it is worth it ...
Remember that I love you all...

It's my Celtic nature...
Not to worry...
It'll pass....it'll be gone by tomorrow...
Normally I just hide it away from view...
Tonight I felt like letting it out...
Thank you for being here for me, sweetie... :hug:

It can be very contagious, indeed...
It doesn't take much either, for me, anyway...
Thank you for the song...
It's great...:hug:

8. Peg I think every time someone we love dies a little piece of us goes with them. |
|
That's why its not so hard to leave when you are 85 or 90. When my dad died all I could think was "why cant I go too????" I still wont mind dying, because I know he's there.

12. That is what it feels like |
|
when something you love dies, there is this gaping void of pain inside, like a piece has been devoured.

19. A very dear family friend stayed with us while he was in his last days |
|
(cancer/morphine/etc.) She is a pisces (psychic) and she got up one night because she heard voices. She walked in to check on my dad (who had slipped in to eternity but was still alive). We were all staying in my parents house so that my dad could be taken care of and die at home, in front of a Rockies or Broncos game. Well when she got upstairs to see what the noise was it was a woman at the foot of my dad's bed, talking to him. Our friend said the positive energy and love emanating from this being was just spectacular, and that she was helping my dad transition (my dad didn't want to leave because of my two young kids, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect them).

27. Well but doesnt it just make sense? Love is God, period? |

And I am terrified of religion, it is a philosophical question.

:hug: I hope that brightens your day a bit!
After all....you're the one who's always lifting someone else's spirits! That just doesn't seem right to me

Oh, thank you, sweetie...
Hugs are always welcome...
I'll be fine, not to worry...
I just decided to let my feelings out tonight...
Normally I just put a lid on them...
I'm only human, and all of us have times when we're down...
I'm no exception...:hug:

I often wonder if astrology has anything to do with emotional trends? Maybe your stars are out of whack. Feel better soon, California Peggy. You are such a sweet person.

24. We're all allowed to have down times, and it's a good thing we do! |
|
Because if we didn't, how would we recognize happiness, contentment, or satisfaction when it comes our way?

WHISPER
A quiet whisper in my mind flows lightly through my thoughts and gently disappears A single butterfly that flits from here to there in innocence and simple joy of living then is forgotten all too soon A memory A word A quiet whisper in my mind

29. I'm sorry that you're feeling |
|
sad tonight. :(
I feel that way sometimes too. Sad for no specific reason, but for many reasons in general.
Love is double-edged that way...the same things that bring you great joy also bring great sadness. But then, the alternative is far, far worse.

I needed to tonight, though...
I would much rather be sad with love than without it, that's for sure...

It is hard to explain, but somehow I seem able to communicate my feelings well in my writing...
You have profoundly moved me...:hug:

Oh, yes, sweetie, that is certainly the case...
I do try to stay balanced, and I mostly succeed...
Tonight wasn't one of those times...
I was wandering in my dusty archives from the summer of 2005...
I'm sure you remember...
Tomorrow all will be well once again.
Thank you for being such a good friend...:hug: :pals:
Your friendship is a gift...
