When malicious gossip or slander is passed along, the humanity of three people is thereby diminished .... the one who repeats the gossip, the one who listens to the gossip, and the one who is the subject of the gossip. When a person refrains from gossiping or tale-bearing, the angels rejoice from up above.

I realize that if we weren't to feel pain, we'd never appreciate happiness. And I use my poems as a way of expression, a cleansing of the soul. I know that if I can put it on paper I won't do the things my head tells me I should. That probably sounds like I am crazy or something because I have had thoughts that I know I shouldn't so I fought those thoughts & I wrote them down. However, you'll be pleased to hear I have finally come to an acceptance and am therefore happier today. Somedays I am depressed but most I am okay. Though I decided since my mother, my sister, and one of my brothers are alcoholics and I have other issues of my own to deal with I am going to talk to my doctor about seeing a therapist. Aunt Jude saw one before & she said he really helped her. So its worth a shot. Take care. Much Love ALWAYS! And I believe your birthday is coming up soon so though I am sure I will be able to get online before the second incase I can't HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! I love you as though you are my own family. Take care.
