The best way to MAke it through...Is to listen to your Heart!

In life, we have to
make decisions
that aren't easy.
We are afraid that
whatever choice we make
will upset someone we love.
It is at these times
that we need to look inside
and listen to
the voice that is inside ue
and ignore our own feelings,
we will not be truly happy.
Listen to what you know
is right
and stand on that,
because when you do,
you will be happy.
--Bethanie Jean Brevik

**Everything will be fine...you'll see**

We do what we can.
And we do it with what we've got
inside us.

Even if you may forget it sometimes,
I'm here to remind you
that you are a very special person.

I have so much faith in you.
And i know you will be able to
do the things you want and you need to do.

And if you ever-ever-need me...

I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.
--Carey Martin

**Have Confidence in your Abilities**

Within you is a spirit
capable of touching the stars.
Within you is the ability
to achieve your goals
and make your dreams come true.
Don't listen to others
or fear competition
or worry about wrong choices.
In every experience
there is a wisdom
to be gained.
Have faith in yourself
and move ahead with confidence,
believing that you will fulfill
your potential
as the unique person
you were created to be.
--Mary Hough Foote

**Always Remember the strength within You**

Tomorrow might seem
as if it will never come
when your difficulties
continue to absorb
all of your efforts.
But there is hoe
that a better tomorrow is near;
there is strength within you
that will help you bear
all the burdens of today.
--jodi mae

**Tomorrow Is a New Day**

Sometimes we do not feel
like we want to feel
Sometimes we do not achieve
what we want to achieve
Sometimes things that happen
do not make sense
Sometimes life leads us in directions
that are
beyond our cointrol
It is as these times, most of all
that we need someone
who will quietly understand us
I want you to know
that i am here for you
in every way
and remember that though
things may be difficult now
tomorrow is a new day
--Susan Polis Schutz

**Look to the Future and Brighter days Ahead**

Sometimes it seems like the world
is crumbling around us
and we just can't go on.
But those are the times when
we most need to look the future,
to hold on to our faith and hope
and to each other.

One of the hardest things to accept
is the realization that
things that make no sense
to us now
may never make any sense,
but life will go on anyway--
with no explanations or apologies,
and that we somehow survive
the changes thrust upon us.

We even manage to grow...
but nothing grows without rain,
Be kind to yourself;
ask for what you need.
You are not alone.

LIFE CAN BE HARD SOMETIMES......but it's going to be okay!

**It's going to be Okay..Just Hang in There**

It's going to be Okay.
Just give things a little time.
And in the meantime...
keep believing in yourself;
take the best of care;
try to put things in perspective;
remember what is most important;
don't forget that someone cares;
search for the positive side;
learn the lessons to be learned;
and find your way through to the
inner qualities:
the strength,the smile,
the wisdom,and the
optimistic outlook
that are such special parts
of you.

It's going to be Okay.
--Barin Taylor


**You Have the Power To Make Your Life everything You want it to Be**

This life is yours
Take the power
to choose what you want to do
and do it well
Take the power
to love what you want in life
and love it honestly
Take the power
to walk in forest
and be a part of nature
Take the power
to control your own life
No one else can do it for you
Nothing is too good for you
You deserve the best
Take the power
to make your life
healthy
exciting
worthwhile
and very happy
--Susan Polis Schutz

**Difficult times in life can help us grow**

There are times when we can't explain
the difficulties we face
but one thing is certain:
we all face them at some point.
There are some difficulties
that shape us for a lifetime,
and some that leaves us
only momentarily changed.

Some of us will search
deep within our souls for answers
we may find that
the difficulties we face
will diminish,
and we can come to accept
not only what we've come through,
but the pain we've experienced,
as well.
--Sherrie L. Householder

even too much Is nOT ENOUGH

Even if it went only as far as your lips,
Even if it just brushed the corner of your mouth,
WOULD BE SWEET ENOUGH.
But europa pillages your mouth
And sucks your soul
Right out of your fingernails.
(RUFINUS)

**However long it lasts,love never lasts long enough**

I don't want anything to come between us:
Even that thin fabric you wear
Fells to me like the
WALLS OF BABYLON.
(PAULOS SILENTIARIUS)

EVERY LOVE SHOULD BE PALE:
THIS IS LOVE'S SPECIAL HUE.
(OVID)

She has given half of herself to desire,
And half to Chastity.
In the wasteland between the two,
I loiter palely.
(PAULOS SILENTIARIUS)

only TO U.......(Lei Zhen)

That bright morning,which i will never forget.
My heart was fired when i met you.
To you,
I was a stranger;
But to me,
You were such familiar.

Since the day,
I had fell in love.
I could read your caring eyes,
I could feel your warm hug,
Although we had never talk.

Time to time,
Taking the morning bus had become my habit,
Looking for you was the first thing i did.
When i felt that my world had been lighten,
you had seemed gone further and further.
I eventually felt unsecure when that sunset afternoon came.
And I knew that sunflowers would no longer stay with me.

Those words I could still remember,
"You are a good girl,
but i have got someone in mind,
and i don't want to hurt her.
I believe that
You will find the right person who belonged to you one day."

My hands were ice-cold, my legs were numbed,
My blood had stop flowing, my heart died.
I walked aimlessly without tears,
As i knew that was not worthy.

So......
I vowed,
I would not see you anymore.
You, would be deleted from my memory permanently,
and I, would not remember you anymore,
The first person i loved.

You might never know that
The wound in my heart was too deep to recover,
The pain which impacted me was too huge to make me stop shaking.
I had hidden all my bleeding memories,
Wrapped them tightly,and
Put them secretly at a tiny corner of my heart.
So that no one could never see them.

I would not hate you,
Never.
As that was not your fault.
Two years has passed by,
I just wonder
How is your life?
Do you still remember me?
Have you found the girl?
and many many......

I know these questions are answerless,
I still want to ask......
Just because I could not control my heart.
If I really disturb your life,
Please forgive me
As i can't forget you.

There is no one else looks like you,
Because I have failed to find such a person to replace you.
One thing you please remember,
I will always be there,
Loving you
Without any regret.

Asklepias, in love with love,
Her eyes like a calm, blue sea,
Persuades everyone it's safe
TO SET SAIL FOR LOVE.
(OVID)


As the sweet-apple blushes
On the end of its branch,
On top of the tree's top-most fork,
It is forgotten by the apple-pickers.
No---It's not that they've forgotten it......
(SAPPHO)

The secret keys to the shrine of love
are in the hands of wise Persuasion.
(PINDAR)

If you see someone beautiful, strike while the iron is hot.
you should say exactly wha is on your mind.
grab what you want,and fill both hands.
for if youstart with "i respect you,
i will be like a brother to you",
self-consciousness will slam
the door to your desires
in your face.
(ADAIOS)

True love is BLIND

It is a joy to walk
Where meadows are in bloom,
Where gentle Zephyros exhales his sweet breath,
To look on the vines of Backchos,
And then to enter under the blanket of their leaves,
In your arms a silky girl,
Every inch of her redolent
Of the essences of Kypris.
(THE ANAKREONTEA)

I know only one utterly beautiful thing,
My ravenous eye knows only one thing:
That is to look at Mysikos.
To everything else,I am blind.
(MELEAGER)

Her necklace is made of buds.
Her bones are delicate reeds.
She wears a signet ring
and has a lotus in
her hand.I kiss her
before everyone that
they all may see my love.
She enraptures my heart,and when
she sees me,I am refreshed.
(20TH DYNASTY, NEW KINGDOM EGYPT.)


Your kiss is laced with birdlime,
And your eyes,timarion,with fire.
Look at me, and i burn,
Touch me and I am caught.

With all those eyes to look at you.

SWEET HONEYED MYSTERY OF LOVE

I fell in love,
I kissed,
I favoured,
I carried the day,
I was dearly loved.
But who i was,
And who he was,
And how it happened,
Is a mystery
Known only
To the Goddess of love.
(UNKNOWN GREEK POET)


Nothing is sweeter than love;
All other bliss comes second.
And compared to it,
Even honey is too bitter
To hold in my mouth.
(NOSSIS)
