I'll be thankful if I get a good sleep, it's hard to be thankful when down but there is much to be grateful for. Many people go hungry and homeless.. so I shouldn't complain

My love for life, the fact that I appreciate life to a great extent, is what that drives me to become a life scientist.

Thanks Jennifer I can't think of anything to say, but I do appreciate this.

Please try not to be so hard on yourself. Hurt is hurt. It doesn't diminish your recognition and care for the plight of others.

It's strange how this works, Marenbird. I've had similar experiences so many times when I was feeling terribly unhappy. Once it was a red rose growing in my backyard. It's almost as if it's another part of our consciousness taking hold and connecting with something beautiful in the world around us. I find that during those rare times when my energy starts flowing, say if I'm working on a task and I'm getting into it, that it's almost coming from another part of my consciousness that's getting the task done. At that point there's no self-criticism, no discouragement, just perception and action. Perhaps it's another part of our consciousness entirely that can see, perceive, appreciate, and do those things.

Many hugs to all of us who are struggling and trying to get along.

1. I feel joy and contentment at this moment right now.

2. I awaken in the morning feeling happy and enthusiastic about life.

3. I can tap into a wellspring of inner happiness anytime I wish.

You wanna know what I believe? That this isn't the end, that there's another world out there for both of us. That we'll see each other again. And we'll play, and dance, and bake, and sing. Doesn't that sound beautiful? Will you believe with me?

This one's depressing, but I think... it is hauntingly beautiful. Listen to this piece of music, and sing in your head.

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah (Yeah)
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water,
See it swimming...


The personal reason why I find this to be hauntingly beautiful is because this song somehow reminds me of my very early days. When I was just in kindergarten. How beautiful were those days. Friends, family, laughs... happiness. Now it's just anxiety and depression. Nothing seems to work to get my mind off it.
