To you, my dears, as well.

My dear friends I feel blessed to have so many dear friends that give me such ongoing love and support each and everyday. Thank you .
These little verses are for all of you.

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch,
swing with, never saying a word,
and then walk away feeling that, that was the best
conversation youv'e ever had

Good friends are like stars.
You don't always see them, but you know they are
always there.

Friends are like angels. who lift our feet,
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly

Take care, stay safe my dear friends always here for you if you need me
Hugs and much love
Annie

My dear friends wanted to share this with you. This was posted to a dear friend ,who is not very well at the present time. I thought the words were really moving.

I allow myself to ACCEPT,
the love, success and happiness
my Soul wants me to
experience.
I fully EMBRACE my
self worth and
I am GRATEFUL

Please my dear friends keep my friend in your thoughts and prayers as
she is young and battling with liver cancer,
Hugs Anniexo

My prayers go out to those who's struggling. xo

My prayers to. It's not good to struggle I know I'm feeling like this at the present time Hugs x0

Hello Friends,
Today, I humbled myself and called someone to wish him a happy birthday even though he hurt me very badly. Forgiveness is so important and it genuinely makes one feel good..
Hugs,
Rox

u forgave ur job

True true …forgiveness is a practice of an extreme selflessness. It's wonderful that you could forgive someone. What you get back from letting go of the pain and allow the person who hurts you know that they are forgiven is your own peace and a great wisdom from all that experiences. xoxo

So true Rox and so proud of you for doing this\
Hugs annie

Rox that is so valiant. I am not so sure I could do that it would depend on the situation sometimes just detaching is better for mental health especially if that person has been taking advantage of your kindness.

so true it is good to detach at times but also to face certain things as Rox has with the forgiveness can have benefits as well to help us to heal from hurt and pain
Hugs Annie

My dear friends I today would like to share one of my favourite poems with you
Footprints in the Sand.
One night I had a dream.

I dreamed i was walking along the beach
with the Lord,
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life,
For each scene,I noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand,
one belonging to me,and the other belonging to the Lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed before me.
I looked back at the footprints in the sand,
I noticed that many times along the path of my life.
there was only one set of footprints,
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me,
and I questioned the Lord about it,
'Lord you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome
times of my life.
there is only one set of footprints,
I don't understand why.
when I need you most you would leave me.

The Lord replied
'My precious child, I love you and would
never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you.

This my dear friends was written by Mary Stevenson. I wanted to share this with you all. I know that we all have our own beliefs and values in life and I respect that in each one of you and always will. But my faith is why I am here today , and I myself rely on it daily to give me the strength that I need to stay strong and well.
Take care
God bless
Annie

Thanks! I needed this today!!! God finds ways to speak to us through total strangers! You have blessed me today!

Hi Julie I have always found these words have been a comfort to me too and so I thought that I would share them on my post. Sorry that you experience so much with your chronic migraines. Always here if you need me Take care Annie

My dear friends always keep this verse in your hearts

Love is patient, love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud,
It does not dishonour others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no records of wrongs,
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth,
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perserveres,
Love never fails.

Remember my dear friends,
When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege
it is to be alive - to breathe,
to think, to enjoy, to love.

Always here for everyone of you
Hugs and love
Annie

Remember my dear friends
Youv'e got to dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like youv'e never been hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.

Also remember,
A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
Wishing you all a new day filled with happiness and sunshine

Expressions of our feelings needs to be done in a humane way. Not only were you disrespected but Mayo Clinic and all of it's members seeking support were also let down.
Everyone has a difficult time but hurting others because one is hurting is inexcusable and should not be tolerated!
We all have issues but that doesn't give us the right to expose an entire community of individuals with an array of health issues with infantile and offensive word's nor behaviors.
Hopefully, a valuable lesson has been learned! Never allow another to influence your character, morality nor individuality.
This forum is not for such behaviors …

Roxie your words are so true. We do need to care and understand each other. Each and everyone of us need to do this on a daily basis. There is no place for hurtful comments that are also very degrading I have learnt a very hard lesson through this and i apologize to everyone for being effected through this due to me being totalling naive.to this situation. Take care Piglit

We are never too old to learn. There were signs along the way but we as humans try to give others the benefit of doubt.
I'm off to my yard to soak up some sun…
Rox

what a week. have been reading some very ugly comments. makes me sad that a sanctuary 4 us can be disrupted by fakes,
lets stick together n not allow this. it makes me sad 2 see people hurting

Thanks rox you being there has helped me such a lot

You have been good to me as well.
Hugs

You have been good to me as well.
Hugs

that's what friends are for
Hugs

hugs back

It makes me sad too sweetie. That this kind of hurt can occur. Things will get better
Take care Piglit

My dear friends I have a few verses for you. Thank you for your prayers and kind words over the past few days. You are all so very special to me.

Life's not always going to be easy, and there will be days , when you feel,
like giving up, but just remember, that tomorrow is another day,
and it can always get better.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life,
don't look back at it too long.
Mistakes are life's way of teaching you.

Remember also my dear friends,
You can never cross the ocean,unless you have the courage,
to lose sight of the shore.

I wish all of you a day filled with the kindness and understanding from others that you all so truely deserve
Always here if you need me and always will be
Hugs Anniex

I am so sorry. I feel more like there is a gerbil in my mind…no control.

So happy you're okay
Hugs

We all have days where getting out of bed seemed like a mistake but id like to think that we are always learning, evolving and growing …
Hugs,
Rox

truely moving Rox, so sorry for everything

My dear friends have returned from my little time away and hope that you have all been okay. You have been in my thoughts. I have two verses for you Hugs Annie

The secret to life
One can only see clearly with the heart,
Anything that is essential is invisble to the eyes
How much time and effort youv'e spent on someone is what
makes them so important.

Remember my friends to always
Follow your heart,
because if you always act on logic, and logic doesn't
always lead to happiness.

Always here for you anytime if you need me

“Emotions are what make us human. Make us real. The word 'emotion' stands for energy in motion. Be truthful about your emotions, and use your mind and emotions in your favor, not against yourself.” ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki

Hi all,
Still waiting…:-(

My emotions are like a rollercoaster at the moment, don't like it when i feel like this

u okay

i'm okay thanks for asking just had a few upsets and health problems but support from you Rox and other friends has helped alot x

It's not the best place to be Piglit…hugs xoxo

oh it's not but i have spent most of my life like this so you'd think I'd be used to it by know. Feel alot better after going away for the weekend and resting Hugs Piglit

Can't belive your still waiting why not make contact through the library phone. Really just can't understand any of this

My dear friends this verse I have read many times over the years and have found great comfort everytime.

Just Believe
You can be what you want to be
And do what you want to do
There's nothing that's too difficult
Or impossible for you!
The stars are just a step away
And the goals you would achieve
Are at your very fingertips,
If you will just believe!

Take care my dear friends
Remember Never stop believing
Hugs Annie

Hi piglit

Called asking for help with fleas. My cat Kate had them but now I have them.(lots of them). I was wondering if you had any information about fleas. I am better afer two days. I try to accept the fact that it will get better.

1st Peter 5:7 "…cast all you anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you."

Hugs Annie

hi ava don't know anything about fleas or flea bites. Haven't heard from you before

Hi ladies, Mary Ann here. The doctor called today and has me on a new antibiotic. I am visualizing that this is going to work. I must stay positive and know that all will be well. It has been five weeks I have been dealing with this bladder infection. Too long. it is late here in Vancouver so will close. Where do you ladies live…USA? love hearing from you.

Hi mary ann keep those positive vibes coming. I'm sure the new antibiotic will work for you. I live in Australia the land of down under, It's always lovely to hear from you too.

My dear friends this is just for you

Friends are the flowers in the garden of life,
They help you through trouble and strife,

There's nothing like friends to make a heart sing,
True friends will share with you most anything,

They will not abandon you in times of need,
They aren't overcome by envy or greed,

Friends are the icing on life's great big cake,
Real friends will give and allow you to take,

I don't know how I would survive without friends,
They applaud my beginnings and mourn my sad ends,

Tell me, please tell me, what would I do,
If I didn't have a garden full of friends like you.

Have a beautiful week my dear friends
Hugs
Annie

My dear friends I hope your day has not been with too many challenges for you and if there has been that you have been able to overcome then all, knowing how special each and everyone of you my dear friends are to me
I have chosen two verses for you

The words that escape a friend's mouth are
I'll be there when you say you need me'
but the words that are unheard from a true friend's heart are
'I'll be there…whether you say you need me or not.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life you have a thousand reasons to smile.

Hugs and always here for each and everyone of you my dear friends if you need me
Annie

Today, I feel hopeful. I feel that my mom, Marylynette and others struggling with health issues are going to be okay.
I also have this feeling of…it's time to wake up Roxie and take the bull by the horn.
I hope and pray everyone has a good day… I am now going to re-do my CV and start submitting for new jobs.
Hugs,
Rox

Welcome my dear friends I have chosen Strength and Acceptance for our two quotes for today. Hope you day is surrounded by beautiful things

Strength
Strength does not come from winning,
Your troubles develop your strengths
When you go through hardships and
decide not to surrender
that is your strength

Remember my dear friends
Nothing is so strong as gentleness,
and nothing is so strong as true strength.

Acceptance
A Friend is someone who understands your past,
believes in your future,
and accepts you just the way are

Take care my dear friends
Annie

Again, beautiful to awake to!
Hugs,
Rox

I hoped this has helped you my dear friend Hugs Piglitx0
