One day, you will see that loving takes courage and strength. You never know if it will be returned. Do it anyway.

i hope that one day i will find the courage and strength to open my heart to love again. right now, it's pretty guarded.

And then, sometimes, it IS returned. And it will make your heart leap. You will never think of it the same way again.

i can see that the lesson to be learned from your post is that i should give or try and not expect anything in return. when you do, it'll be awesome.

i get it. it's a very endearing way of looking at it. thanks for putting it that way because it does motivate me to smile, look at things in a positive light. do because you want to .. not because you want to get something out of it.

Does that really make me the stupid one? Do you think I'm stupid D4ML?

OK, D4ML, I need you to pop over to my thread and give me some insight on the "gift LL".

hehe. my advice? don't put that kind of pressure on me. smile i am not good at giving advice.

i am feeling better these days though.

i am grateful that the sun is shining. that fall is here - my favorite season. i just did the colors for my home. it's going to look really nice. i'm super excited. i hope it isn't going to cost me too much.
