(always remember you are 2 WHOLES-and not the 1/2 of anyone else)..so no matter what you retain the JOY of Life always.<br /><br />I am very happy for you...<br /><br />Do not let this one slip away.. LOVE is best when it is LOVE IN ACTION .. meaning make a commitment.. Marriage... and just be careful. So many regress after marriage; like they want to replay the drama of their dysfunction childhood.. or they wake up and realized they married the parent that drove them NUTS (and was trying to fix them).<br /><br />Stay real.. when the IN LOVE pass; it is the real emotional mature love that matters.. <br /><br />Again.. I wish you the best...and a year is a good sign.. <br /><br />Been following your blog... and always rooting you on for years.. <br /><br />peace and happiness.. <br /><br />ms. hen of nycMs Hen'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844440761689489376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758230923722877355.post-20232373925114662032012-01-18T16:31:31.956-05:002012-01-18T16:31:31.956-05:00Happiness and Joy always to you..

Who knows whom YOU have inspired.<br /><br />@Nancy,<br /><br />sometimes it feels like finding her was inevitable. At other times, it feels like a miracle. FYI, will send them your way if I find any. :)<br /><br />@Mark,<br /><br />Nope. She doesn't know about the blog. I knows pretty much all the content.
