Today's Message: I thank you all!
I received many messages of encouragement from my online friends with my struggle adapting to new medications. My next door neighbor shared her children's book with me that summed it up best...
"I Knew You Could!" by Craig Dorfman
"I knew you cold! And you knew it, too - 
That you'd come out on top after all you've been through.
And from here you'll go farther and see brand- new sights/
You'll face brand-new hills that rise to new heights."

Quote for the Day: ~A Mountain Wings Original~
"The light is not just at the END of the tunnel, it's IN the tunnel.

Totally Unique Thoughts from The Universe:

What if loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life's serendipities could bring you together... Would you still feel alone?

What if illness was just the signal a healthy body sent to urge clarification of your thoughts, feelings and dreams... Would you still, at times, think of yours as diseased?

What if feelings of uncertain and confusion were only reminders that you have options, that there's no hurry, and that everything is as it should be... Would you still then feel disadvantaged?

What if mistakes and failures only ever happened when your life was about to get even better than it's ever been before... Would you still call them mistakes and failures?

And what if poverty and lack were simply demonstrations of your manifesting prowess, as "difficult" to acquire as wealth and abundance... Would they still cause you to feel powerless?

Poetry worth contemplating:
Little Memories by Malta

Little pebbles tossed in the water,
Make little circles that seem to have no end,
Just as little acts of loving and kind words
Give the world it's biggest smiles...

Soft spoken words can soothe big heartaches
As little hugs can dry big tears,
Tiny candles can twinkle in the darkness,
Giving light that brightens up a lost way.

Little dreams can lead to greatness
Putting into practice leads to success.
Just the little things in life it seems
Brings the greatest joy and happiness.

I fondly reminisce about dear friends
Treasured memories of days of yore
Fill my heart with many pleasures
Memories that last through the years.

When the little things come to mind,
I think warm thoughts of my friends 
The joy that their friendship brings,
And the little love circle never ends.

Malta 2004

**Merry Christmas to All and Joy and Happiness in the New Year. Lovingly, Marilyn
