Been away a few days, so forgive me if my post seems out of sync - <BR>
<BR>
Rennie, B.K., thanks for the links.  Haven't checked them out yet, but I surely will.  <BR>
<BR>
Misti commented that I was "indeed mysterious".  Well, I suppose I can't help but be that way, having posted here only a handful of times.  Actually, people who've known me long enough to know me find me rather transparent, I'm told.<BR>
<BR>
I'm definitely a heart-worn-on-my-sleeve sort.  To me, being open with your feelings is good as a matter of principle, but putting yourself out on the limb like that all the time does give you a lot of bruises and sprains.  I expect many of you here know what I mean.<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, I hope to have more bits and pieces to submit for your consideration soon.

I admire that you can submit something nearly everyday and today i liked <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.08.19.19.35.14317">She's Waiting</a>.  It describes how intoxicating love can overwhelm.  There are many that believe that LOVE can be as addicting as alcohol or drugs.  Anyway, I liked the way you described "surrender" of both parties happens/happened....take care...<BR>

Love and surrendered silence, Ali

I imagine it IS Brenda in that pic with suave Les (or his mother)!

Dreams sometimes really do come true...maybe there's still hope that i can stand that close to Bruce Willis or his celebrity look alike...<BR>

Growingpaynes, re:<BR>
The quote by Katherine Hepburn was actually...<BR>
"The trick to getting what you want in life, my dear, is still wanting it after you get it"<BR>
<BR>
Who were you responding to? Anyway, she makes a good point. Another line I like is <BR>
"The indispensible first step to get the things you want from life is this: Decide what you want."<BR>
