We are only as sick as the secrets we keep.
~Anonymous~
We all have our secrets. Some of them we’re not about to tell anybody. God, of course, already knows them. There may be some things we consider so shameful that we can’t share them with anyone. But shame separates us from God. It’s a way of saying we are too horrible, too different – it’s a form of false.
To hide something means we’re holding on to the shame. Not until we’re ready to admit to God, to ourselves, and another human being the nature of our secrets can we be rid of our shame. But when we come to believe that we having nothing to fear from sharing our secrets, God will transform them into something useful and constructive. There is nothing we have ever done that can’t be used to help someone, ourselves included.
Today I will share my secrets with someone.

If you want to Get Ahead with any degree of peace, you must learn to Stay Here. It takes guts to Stay Here; it takes self-discipline and resolution. Anyone with sufficient energy and a one-track mind can Get Ahead; witness the robber barons, the dictators, the demagogues. But to Stay Here, you must know where you are before you can know where you are going. You must seek before you can find, and you must ask before you really learn to seek. It takes humility to ask, patience to wait for the answer, and faith that the answer will come.

Your Element Is Water |
 A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful. |

The Keys to Your Life |
 Anything good in your life comes from boldly confronting the darkness. Illusions are dangerous, and you benefit from seeing the world as it truly is. Anything bad in your life comes from sinking to the level of those around you. Remember to lift people up, and refuse to participate in anything petty. |

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
--Bob Newhart (1929 - )
If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?
--Dolores Huerta
It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.
--Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, July 7, 2003
A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.
--Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
--Carrie Fisher (1956 - )

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:
1) Growing up is mandatory; growing old is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.

Self-love is not opposed to the love of other people. You cannot really love yourself a favor without doing other people a favor, and vice versa.
~Dr. Karl Menninger~
Self-love is not the same thing as egotism. As recovering people, we hated ourselves for so long that we were crippled by it. Learning to love ourselves again becomes a form of therapy – and appreciation for God’s creation. And the delightful thing we learn is that we don’t love ourselves without loving others, and we can’t love others without loving ourselves. How wonderful!
We can’t begin to love ourselves, however, without other people. People are essential, and so is God, from whom all love flows. We are thankful for God’s love and ask God to teach us how to love others. And the more we practice doing loving acts for others, the more love we feel for ourselves.
I will practice loving myself today by loving others.

So Ferrett & some other folks at a con wanted to touch a woman's breasts so they asked, were given permission & did it.
They or other people may or may not repeat said "project" in the future.
So to all the "feminists" & such who are enraged, feel threatened and/or somehow 'persecuted' by this I say:
WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER TO YOU?
These are consenting adults with their own free will. They can do whatever they choose.
Who the fuck are you to criticize & judge? Nothing has been done 'to' you.
Get the F*CK over yourselves already.
Sheesh.

The 92-year-old petite, well-poised and proud lady,
who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock,
with her hair fashionably fixed and makeup perfectly applied
even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
