Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry?
When we imagine? When we kiss? This is because
the most beautiful thing in the world is unseen.
We are a little weird and life's a little weird
and when we find someone whose weirdness is
compatible with ours, we join up with them and
fall into mutual weirdness and call it "LOVE"
There are things that we never want to let go of,
people we never want to leave behind, but keep in mind
that letting go isn't the end of the world,
its the beginning of a new life!
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched, and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance of
the people who have touched their lives.
A great love? Its when you shed tears and still
you care for her. Its when she begins to love another and
yet, you still smile and say "I'm happy for you."
If love fails, set yourself free, let your heart spread
it's wings, and fly again. Remember, you may find love
and lose it, but it's when love dies, you never
have to die with it.
The strongest people are not those who always win
but those who stand back up when they fall.
Somehow, along the course of life, you learn about
yourself and realize, there should never be regrets,
only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you made.
A true friend understands when you say "I forgot",
waits forever when you say "Just a minute!"
stays when you say "Leave me alone!"
opens the door even before you knock
and say "Can I come in."
Loving is not how you forget, but how you forgive,
not how you listen, but how you understand.
Not what you see, but how you feel, and
not how you let go, but how you hold on.
It is more dangerous to weep inwardly, rather than
outwardly. Outward tears can be wiped away,
while secret tears scar forever.
In love, very rarely do we win, but when love is true,
even if you lose, you still win just for having the
tingle of loving someone more than you love
yourself.
There comes a time when we have to stop loving someone
not because that person has stopped loving us,
but because we have found out that they'd be happier
if we let go.
It's best to wait for the one you want,
than settle for one that's available.
Best to wait for the one you love,
than for one who's around.
Best to wait for the right one because
life's too short to waste on just someone.
Sometimes, the one you love turns out to be the one
who hurts you the most, and sometimes the friend
who takes you into her arms and cries when you cry
turns out to be the love you never knew you wanted.

Ann,
I don't usually write on things like this but i have to make an exception to this one. After reading this I want to say a couple of things that I hold true and dear. First and foremost, I hope that your father is doing well and that he lives to see your children grow around him with many memories to cherish for years to come. As for the the whole love thing, its really simple to me. Love is a vision of happiness that has presented itself in a way that you have created through all of the experiences that you have had in your life.
The opportunity "to love" has presented itself and now you're going to reap the rewards of all that you wanted "to love". The only problem with this is that we don't account for the way the other person will treat us and if they are not aware of this, they hurt us. They hurt us for one of two reasons. They have no knowledge of what they are doing to us, or they know how much we have committed "to love" and they take advantage of that. TO ME, that is all that love is. Sure, there are other little intangibles that make up love but it all breaks down to these two things for me. I wish you love and happiness within your family and all those that you hold dear. Happy New Year Ann

Tony,
Thank you for your Kind Words.I still remembered how you always express your emotions on things. I am so Happy for you -having such a wonderful family. Well, Your Statement is sooo Correct! Often people hurting other individuals with "the same pain" they have themselves. I think there are two kind of people who are behaving this way. One kind is aware what he/she is doing. The other kind is not aware of their action. As a result being in contact with such individuals it is natural to get hurt,to feel angry.With all of that one should try not to feel as a victim. Easier to say than done.One of the way to reach this stability is to be deeply aware of your own issues and not feeling guilty about it. Those who inflict pain do so out of their own lack of love for themselves.I've always felt that when we criticize or judge someone, we are really looking at the mirror at something we don't like about ourselves!
Unfortunately that there are people out there who is very inconsiderate about how others feel but themselves.I wished they just have to know things and do it the right way and not purposely hurting those people who loves and cares for them.
Oh well my opinion - They don't deserve any Love , If they don't know how give it back- fair enough ,right.LoL. (Ok that's the other side of Ann you never knew-haha just kiddin')
Lastly, I've been hurt pretty bad with people i really do love with all my heart but that will never change a Loving and Compassionate ME.
It is hard as a giver to never receive. So therefore, I chose to Let them Go!
Ann
