People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality;

their feelings most of all.

- Jim Morrison

 

 

 

Behind every beautiful thing is some kind of pain.

- Bob Dylan

 

 

Take it from me:  If you hear the past

speaking to you, feel it tugging up your back

and running its fingers up your spine,

the best thing to do-

the only thing-

is run.

- Lauren Oliver

The path of peace is not a passive journey. It takes incredible strength not to open a can of 'whoop-a$$', justifiably, when ones button is pushed.

- T.F. Hodge

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate,

no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom

of my mind.

- Virginia Woolf

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all.

Their feathers are too bright, their songs too

sweet and wild.

So you let them go, or when you open the cage

to feed them they somehow fly out past you.

And the part of you that knows it was wrong

to imprison them in the first place rejoices,

but still, the place where you live is that much

more drab and empty for their departure.

- Stephen King

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.

I know some people, sadly, in my life that would never understand this...some of them are family...

Thank you, Ins...

Nice avatar...what is in the palm? I can't get it large enough without pixelating it...

I fully get what you're saying, Tex.

 

Glad you like the avatar of a hand with grains of sand in the palm . . .

 

 

PS.

 

Family - love my family

However, some of my most challenging relationships lie in those complicated dynamics

Tricky stuff

Even in the deepest love relationship - when lovers

say 'I love you' to each other - we don't really know what we're saying,

because language isn't equal to the complexity of human emotions.

- Duane Michals

Some days, 24 hours is too much to stay put in,

so I take the day hour by hour, moment by moment.

I break the task, the challenge, the fear into small,

bite-size pieces.  I can handle a piece of fear,

depression, anger, pain, sadness, loneliness,

illness.  I actually put my hands up to my face,

one next to each eye, like blinders on a horse.

- Regina Brett

The struggle of my life created empathy -

I could relate to pain, being abandoned,

having people not love me.

- Oprah Winfrey

That was one of the saddest things about people--

their most important thoughts and feelings often went unspoken

and barely understood.

- Alexandra Adornetto

 

 

 

"Flower Girl" by Rina Sutzkever

 

 

We try so hard to hide everything we're

really feeling from those who probably need to know our true

feelings the most.  People try to bottle up their emotions,

as if it's somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life.

- Colleen Hoover

 

 

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings

or damaged goods.  To feel intensely is not a symptom of

weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and

compassionate.

- Anthon St. Maarten

I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.

Thanks CD,

 

That was so nice to see your note to me.  The weekend was a hard one of mental symptoms and I am hoping to be better now.  I don't know what set it off, maybe it was just what my brain needed to do next, but it was a doozy!  : )

 

I have thought of you this last week and hoped you were doing better.  I send you hugs - and more cinnamon rolls as needed! 

 

Love,

❤

When the butter runs thin, imagine cream cheese...

I'm thinkin there must be an atmospheric shift that we are all sensing, 'cause the last few days have been weeks in duration...if I HAD teeth, I wouldn't anymore...i actually forgot to eat, today...even cookies...and the rain is impressive...take my hand...we'll laugh in the wind!!! Dance in the rain!!! Share a box of kleenex!!! Sit around the table with our feet in warm water soaks!!! And thumb our collective drippy noses at W/D!!! Coffee or tea, anyone?

CD and Tex,

 

As long as we are all feeling this way, we can make a party of it and stare down the W/D symptoms en group! 

 

It is so nice to have people who understand and can just "be with you".  Thank you so much for the company.

 

Love,

❤

Lily

 

Pour the coffee and pass a napkin... we are ready!
