No Strings Attached I've nothing else to offer, so, to you, it's love I'll send. It's nothing that I borrowed and it's nothing that I'd lend. It has no dollar value and it can't be overused. It isn't fragile, so it can't break, though often it's abused. I've given it to others, but each time it's unique. Its meaning's always different; it depends on what you seek. It's something you can store away, to feel when you're in need. But never is it on display, its beauty can't be seen. I'm giving it 'no strings attached,' no costly warranty. This love that I am sending has a lifetime guarantee. Author Unknown

Two more irrational beliefs are, "I have no control over my happiness and I want life to be easy and without hassles; therefore, I'll avoid discomfort or any new commitments." TODAY I will see each disappointment in my ...

Everything hurt and I really never wanted to do that again. But by the end of that summer I was walking 4 miles. Over the years I was often angry & resentful because I hated walking alone even more so, I hated starting a program with someone and them having the other person bomb out for whatever reason leaving me high & dry. It was always nice to have someone to distract me from the task at hand (or feet) to make the clock tick quicker and the pain dissipate...like either of those are even possible? Over the years I have walked with people who are much quicker & some a little slower. I have walked up & down hills, on trails, paved streets and best of all on sandy beaches. More often than not I had someone with me, unfortunately until they found something better to do. The...
