Thinking


My responsibilities and obligations are very real and pressing, I know they do not have to burden me. when I am willing to accept responsibility for something, I put myself in control of it.
Though the frustrations may be deep and numerous, they do not have to burden me. For by working my way through those frustrations, I am building valuable achievements.
Although a deep sadness may come down upon me, it does not have to burden me. that sadness is possible only because I care so very much, and because I know without a doubt how beautiful life can be.
Darkness may be all around me, it does not have to burden me. that darkness only makes my own light more brightly visible.
Though the problems and distractions may seem to have no end, they do not have to burden me. For by moving through them I am moving toward my dream.
Though life may be difficult, it does not have to burden me. For I can live moment by moment by moment, joyfully making the most of each and every one.
Sadness in life sometimes intence. I often focus on the painful part, the longing. And yet there is also in sadness a truth of life, of what could have been, of what can still be.
Sadness is possible only because I care. The more I care, the more noticeable the sadness, and yet, the more potential for joy I also have. Though sadness may often feel like emptiness, it isnt.
In every sadness, there is a bit of joy. Something in my sadness lets me know, without the slightest doubt, that things are not as they should be.
Sadness means I sincerely care. I build on that. I strengthen it. I see past the pain of the moment and find a positive outlet for the depth of my feelings. I know that my sadness supports the joy and beauty that life can be. Im experiencing the purity of being fully alive and letting that deep caring launch me forward.

Princess when I think of you and the person you are, I can't help but smile. You possess such an amazing array of traits. Your warmth, your touch, your caring words always comforts me when I'm feeling down. Your charm, your humor and your beautiful laugh... How can I help but love you for that? Your wisdom, intellegence and positive nature... Its traits like these that keep me admiring you. These are the reason I can feel love. When I ponder what your love means to me honey. I realize what a treasure of emotions I am able to hold. I truly could not imagine my life without you in it. Your love has taken my heart and taught it to grow. I am a new person just from loving you. I hope our time together will be filled with much happiness and love. Words cannot describe how much I love and care for you. You are so loveable and so damn sweet! I was glad the day you came into my life. You showed me so much love and tenderness, it was unbelievable. We must hold on to what we have, and nurture it with the utmost care and affection. Let's love each other like there is no tomorrow. And, in case you ever forget, I am loving you more and more each day, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. And, I hope you know that no matter what happens I will never love anyone the way that I love you.
Love Richard
