Loo - I sense that you posted 'Cloudy Day' here for a certain someone to see... but I'm going to have my say anyways.

If you aren't 100% sure you want to do it, don't.

If you marry and live with regrets you'll just be unhappy and unsettled in your relationship with your husband and if the relationship doesn't go well you'll start to hold those regrets against him.
Only marry if you are CERTAIN he is the one you want to be with... not because you don't want to be alone.

Don't confuse loving to be loved with love.

My opinion only.

Miss Dee---

Saw your post to Loo---read the poem---and I think you missed someting---in my life, with me is with me---all the way. But once goodbye is uttered, it's over...no yoyo nonsense---here today, gone tommorow.

I've watched my friends do that---to themselves, and their lovers---and nobody wins. Forget embers, forget looking back...that only tears opens scabs---and that makes scars. Get on with your life Loo---

I just wanted to know if you had a poem called : "If tomorrow never comes". I've been looking for it and I can't find it. I found it here once, but I don't remember the month it was sent in. Please help - I really love that poem!

http://loveblender.com/1998march/heart/wasting.html also contains the line. I actually like this one a little better.

Dear Toklas and folks,

Thanks for your sweet words. I have once again gotten out of the hospital (a slight reprieve) ... so I am slow getting information out ... and even slower posting anything anymore. You might want to keep up with me and My Captain now through

Love
Like the shadow at the bottom of a well,
Unreachable to all but those who dive in head first,
Only to realize they have gone too deep,
To ever come up for air.
Love

Well, it's the big day---Valentine's Day---and my eight year old daughter has reminded me how much I used to hate this particular holiday. She's hoping for a valentine from a special boy---but since boys don't particularly like or notice girls at that age...

I know there are people out there who will call in sick, spend the day with the shades down, and lie in bed with a six pack of Dr. Pepper and industrial sized fritos. They loathe Valentines Day because at the moment they're alone---or someone just dumped them, or something sad and tacky like that. They won't listen to the radio---too many love songs.They won't watch t.v.---to many sappy reminders, or love stories...

Well for the temporary otherless ones, I say hang in dear.
I believe that there really is someone out there for everyone---corny though that seems. I found mine six hours (no I'm not kidding) after I gave up pursuit of the "Great Love" I had been mooning for for years.

Love ain't easy...but lonely truly sucks.

So you out there with the Fritos and the Dr. Pepper---you're my Valen-shines today. NEVER give up. Happy Valentines Day---with a hug and kiss, and my very best wishes. Love---and you---will find a way.


Love,

Gala
