do not dwell on the past.
See I am doing a new thing!"

Here I go again.

Burn, baby burn...  It worked - they burned me, and it hurt. 

I've grown up, I leaned on Everlasting Strength and will continue to as long as I have breath.  

I will open up again, to the world non the less, to those who care what goes on in my mind and what I see in my minds eye. 

So come what may, sunshine state and hoola are making a slow come back....I think if Britney can do it, surely I can too.

Response to yesterday.

The love for equals is a human thing - of friend for friend, brother for brother. It is to love what is loving and lovely. The world smiles. The love for the less fortunate is a beautiful thing - the love for those who suffer, for those who are poor, the sick, the failures, the unlovely. This is compassion, and it touches the heart of the world. The love for the more fortunate is a rare thing - to love those who succeed where we fail, to rejoice without envy those who rejoice, the love of the poor for the rich, of the black man for the white man. The world is always bewildered by its saints. And then there is the love for the enemy - love for the one who does not love you but mocks, threatens, and inflicts pain. The tortured's love for the torturer. This is God's love. It conquers the world.
