Ah those thorn's sticking in our flesh - actually in my case they are usually Teri's toast crumbs because she brings her breakfast to bed and makes comments as I exercise movement back into protesing muscles (its a big job every morning because they try to revert to rigor mortis mode while I sleep)
I liked the poem and the insight it gives into what makes Tink tick ;-)

I have always tried to smile~ For when we smile, the world smiles with us...but deeper down, on the inside, there have been times when I know I was hiding behind my outward appearances...looking back at it...I am glad I continued to smile, even though... It's like you say here..."And beneath the veneer Of a very brave smile Beats a very fragile human heart..."
A penning from within guided by the One above~
Your words are touching Tinka~ and they are also self-healing...
Love and Peace~
Kimmy~

I like this more journalistic, "Dear Dairy", style of writing from you, Tinka. A kind of aide memoire, so that, in years to come, you can look back and SMILE!! You did and are doin it YOUR way, Darlin, and Grace and Fortitude are your middle names. Valour, your name is Woman! Great write and testimony to send you onward and upward into 2007 with fresh energy in your step and love in your heart. Bless you, Kate xx

And beneath the veneer
Of a very brave smile
Beats a very fragile human heart

A testimony to self-awareness at its most keenly observable state.
Brought to mind a line from the Beatles' song, 'Although I act and laugh like a clown, beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.'

Insightful and honest.

penned straight from the heart...beautiful Tinka, I too often times have a smile that hides many other emotions housed within my heart and mind. I have always thought that I must be the strong one, that I cannot allow others to see my pain...I relate with this write, touched me deeply.

I think that would probably apply to most of us, Tinky, but we somehow muddle along, hoping for the best. And I hope The Best soon comes your way.
