For everything turn ..turn.. turn..

[Guava Jelly]

There is a season I have read for all things under the sun.
A time to live and a time to die.
As I sit here typing this superfluous letter on my digital pad..
I wonder if I will even post this.
I think of the year that has passed,and the year before,And the year before that.
I think of the seasons I have lived through.
I look back in horror and disbelief over the state of mind I was in.
And I read over and over in my mind the echoes of friendly replies from loving strangers who cared just enough to be a friend to me.
And I also see things that make me wonder.
Will I look back in 2009 and think I should of, or I would of? Or will I be content?
Will I have won the lottery or will tragedy have stricken me?
Should I even worry?
Life is a process of learning and change, and even when change seems to have forgotten you,it hasn't.
What will 2008 bring?
And what did 2007 bring for me besides a much needed farewell to 2006?
It brought me wisdom.
It taught me that a friend you have never met can be just as valuable as one who lives next door.
It taught me that no greater teacher exist than time.
It taught me that I can..If I really want to.
Time heals,time ages,and time kills.
Time will beat you down yet lift you up.
Most vile of foe's and yet our greatest friend.
I enter 2008 with the eyes of a newborn.
I enter it with hope.
I enter it with you..

And with that I bite my tongue and close my eyes, pour a glass of Vino and hit post message.

5. My dear GoPsUx...

That is beautiful, sweetie...

I am so grateful you hit post for this one...

You brought the sting of tears to my eyes...

I have met several people here who have become offline friends as well...

And I say to you that you can indeed meet people online!

My online friends have brought me love, and respect, and support, and inspiration!

The intersection of the internet with our so-called real lives is one that continues to intrigue and inspire me...

How can the written word be so powerful? How can it make us fall in love, or write wonderful things, or cry, or laugh?

But it can.

My dear friend...I love you.

A toast to 2008! May it bring all good things to us, and to those we love! :toast:

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Nothing wrong with your grammar, baby...

When words come from the heart, that's all that matters!

And yours did...

Turn turn turn

Ecclesiastes 3 Bible of all things:



1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.



I like that but it weird's me out sometimes
Regards
