If not myself, then who am I...?
Not Myself… Today I was not myself, Nor did I even act like my elf, Looking into the mirror, I did not know who it was staring back, Even after I did clean the glass to make it clearer… Throughout the day I was off, yes way, My mind today did seem to be in disarray, Of myself I could not portray, My whole day was just one after the other of dismay… I hope that tomorrow does work out better, Don’t worry though I will not write a suicide letter, Fortunately when I get home I did get to become a petter, My dog making me feel much, much better… But still the feeling does persist, Should I just end it all and not resist? Going to bed to sleep away this funk, Nothing I do feel is anything in the way of bunk, Let me just go to sleep and close the lid of my trunk… © ed ~ 5/31/05

Hugs. I think this might be a good time for you to do something you have never done before that you would find exciting and fun :-) Maybe it is time to start a new hobbie? RUFUZ thanks for being there for Ed :-)

Pets, thankfully, know just how to make us 'ourselves' again, and statistics show that people with pets are generally less stressed out. Pet Rufuz some more, it really does help.

I had not been myself for a long time;
but who am I to know?

moments! life is mad eup of moments,no one is happy all the time.....It is just to cherish those happy moments,freeze them,capture them with warmth and gratitude, life is a gift given to us.Moments and we must find and capture the good ones.
I felt something very deep when reading this.I felt sorrow,
but at the same time I became aware of lifes mountain tops with sunbeams great and realised at once

we must outwait our fate! To be able to see the sunrays,Just wait!
I liked it!
