heavy things

I have heard of a lot of deaths lately and I know of at least 6 women that are pregnant. It seems the cycle of life is closer and more apparent that ever. I have been thinking about writing this for a few days and in that time the sister of one of my massage clients has died of lung cancer. My uncle is also having surgery for cancer on january 21st. It all makes me very thankful that i have Darren and we are both alive and healthy. I just want to say a prayer for the families and lives that are hurting and a blessing for the new lives that are coming in to this world. Thank you God for you great presence in this world!!! amen

love poems

At our wedding in NY we had love poems printed on little cards to be put on the tables but they were never passed out. I found the files from when I had typed them up on the computer and thought it would be fun to post some.

Sensual pleasure passes and vanishes in the twinkling of an eye, but the friendship between us, the mutual confidence, the delights of the heart, the enchantment of the soul, these things do not perish and can never be destroyed. I shall love you until I die. ~

Voltaire

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other.

Now there is no more loneliness, for each of you will be companion for the other.

Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place to begin the days of your life together.

May your days together be good and long upon the earth.

Apache Blessing

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am

When I am with you.

I love you,

Not only for what

You have made of yourself,

But for what

You are making of me.

I love you

For the part of me

That you bring out.

Roy Croft

Love

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

Mother Teresa
