Tired of the Hypocrisy
I can think of three beautiful things in my life.
My Wife: She was the loveliest woman I had ever laid eyes on. When I laid eyes on her was at a CA and when I asked a sister I was friends with to introduce us, she said she could not for this beauty was "DISFELLOWSHIPPED". Not to worry....I had fallen so hard for her that not even being df'd was any sort of an obstacle. We were married a few years later and on Monday we had our 18th wedding anniversary. Why she stays with me I will never know.
My youngest Son: When this boy was born, I felt the most beautiful and purest love I can imagine. We are close and I loev nothing more than to spend time with him and listen to him play his guitar.
My Other Family: My mom and sibs are all faded out and I am also fading. They are the least judgemental people on Earth and now I know why they never fit well into teh jw mold. We are far apart but close in our hearts and are always there for each other.

For those of you who find it hard to see any happiness in their day, I though this article might help you: Taken from: http://www.carriehart.com/daily_portion.htm#2-17%20safe%20at%20home Safe at Home The louder people talk about fear, the more you must shield yourself and come into your own center. The noisier the clamor, the deafer must be your ears. Their talk of war, danger, and economic disaster can feel like a storm raging around you. And so you must remember that you are a solid house made of brick, bricks you have been building your entire lifetime. You are protected by bricks of love and joy, bricks of self-knowledge and bricks of belief, both in yourself and in the help that is there for you. You are safe and sound in your brick house. You are contained and comforted. Here, inside your brick house, a fire blazes cheerfully and you are warmed. And you supply that fire, that fuel. You and your belief, your inner truth and light, supply all that you need to weather the storms of life. You are warmed by the truth that glows brightly. You provide your own security, the security of knowing that you are just as you need to be and that you have everything that is required to live a life of joy, peace and love. Yes, love, for in this house of yours, you are not alone, not at all. You have within you, not only the ability to fully take care of yourself, but also great love and companionship, for you have a way to lift yourself up and up, far beyond the limitations of this physical life, into a place above the storm. You have a magic golden ladder of faith, connection and love that you can just extend upwards at any time and it will pierce through any storm clouds that may be around you, up even through howling winds, lightning and thunder, and bring you to the peace that always abides above it all. And from that place of grace, you can reach outward to all of the others who have climbed their golden ladders and connect with them deeply. And as you sit in this wondrous place of grace, knowing that you are love and only love, you can look down at the storming clouds below, look down upon the roiling fear, and choose to go instead into your inner heart of peace, love and truth, and to carry this gift of truth and love back down with you inside your heart, as you sit in your warm and cozy house, protected from the storms of fear. Live in both of these levels at once, in every moment, so that the love and peace you carry in your heart will warm you with an inner glow, more comforting even than the warmest cloak on a cold and windy day. Whenever you need to make important decisions, remember to go to that warm glow. Find the shelter of your inner home, curl up quietly at your own inner fires and find guidance there. The storm outside has no guidance for you. The guidance is all here, inside, safe and sound. You may look out your windows to see which way the storm is blowing, but do not open your windows and doors to the blowing fear and allow it to chill you. Stay centered. Stand at the hearth and keep the fires of truth and love blazing high. Repair the roof and replace the broken windows. And know that if you do allow fear to blow through you for a time, the embers of your fire will never go completely out. You can always return to them and fan them back into being. You can always recover yourself and become strong enough to close the doors and windows to fear. And whenever you need it, that magical golden ladder is there for you to climb, so that you may lift yourself up and out of the storm for an hour, or even a few minutes, climb up into the state of grace and remember that nothing, nothing, is stronger than the love that you are.

gypsygraver, that is the most beautiful sentiment I have read since "The Littlest Prince". Thank you so much for sharing that.

Things are often better than we realize.
Humanity is waking up.

They're just words, they ain't worth nothing
Cloud your head and push your buttons
And watch how they just disappear
When we're far away from here
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Oh who put all those cares inside your head
You can't live your life on your deathbed
And it's been such a lovely day
Let's not let it end this wayAnd everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Like sisters and brothers we lean on each other
Like sweethearts carved on a headstone
Oh why even bother, it'll be here tomorrow
It's not worth it sleeping alone
And look at you and me still here together
There is no one knows you better
And we've come such a long long way
Let's put it off for one more day
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time -

I have a sense of humor--why not keep this topic on the other thread that you started? Just doesn't seem to fit in here!
