Alternatives

..
It is good for me and anyone else to see that they have alternatives. With alternatives, the need to act in depserate ways is lessened. There is time to consider and plan. Desperation, calls for action... no waiting just plunge.. afterwards then you pick up the pieces if there are any to pick up... I like to explore my choices..but I also need to make a choice and then act.

You Got to Believe in Hope and Change

The IL Governor and I at a previous Goveror's Day... no we are not a couple. He was gracious to consent to a photo.

About Friendship

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.


Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.


May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too


The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.


Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.


When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. !


Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the 'brighter side' of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.

Brighten someone's day with this message...

Time to get focused

Time to get focused. Time to get focused on finding more work and taking care of myself. Time to get focused on studying for my psychodrama test. These are my priorities for the next 2 months. I can do this. I can putting my time and resources behind my words as of now.
Wish me luck.

A Good Path

I feel good today..out of that financial funk at least some of the way. I am not letting IT control me and I am taking action.

Another Day and Another Problem Solved

I am proud of myself...facing reality can be treacherous, but it is important to do when facing a problem. I have been having a money crunch situation for the last week. It happens in business, I'm learning. Today, I talked with my banker and looked the problem square in the eyes. It looks like I will need to get another part time job to foot my bills. Something 3days per week in counseling or writing field. There is no shame in this. I can take this next step. My private practice will continue, but I will have other sources of income.
Good job Eve Facing reality!!!!

Near the End of the Summer

I know it is near the end of the summer. The lifeguards last day is tomorrow. School begins on Tuesday for alot of kids. It has been a great summer! I feel so blessed to have lived by the lake this summer. I was just outside. The sun was starting to set and there was a wonderful breeze. Families were playing in the waves and young couples were cuddling in the sand. Enjoying a good day in the sun. Thanks for this summer......Mother Earth. I love you.
