I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.








Whenever I'm down, you always make me smile. Whenever I need someone to talk to, I know you'll listen for a while. Whenever I'm upset, I know you care.. Cuz whenever I'm lonely, you're always there


You're a true friend, I want you to know *Our love for each other has helped us grow *We've been through some tough times *But we've made it through *Cause the only one I trusted was you*You've helped me with anger*Chased away fears *You've helped me through sadness *And dried all my tears*You stayed by my side when the world turned away*You helped me see joy when the skies were all gray *You were the rainbow at the end of the storm *You helped me be different when I should'nt conform *You held my hand when you knew I would fall*Every laugh and heartache*You were there through it all *I know I'm not always the best friend to you *I know I'm not perfect but this much is true *When life gets you down*And there's nowhere to turn*I'll help you out and share your concern*I'll do my best to try and return the favor*When you think you'll drown *I'll be your lifesaver*Even if we both go down *I'll pull us out even when life pulls us under*I'll be the sun when there's lightning and thunder*And when it's all over*And we've fought every war *There's one thing I promise *Of this I am sure*When the time comes*And we are put down to rest*I want you to know*My friend you're the best...


This is a very special love that you can never see, The reason it's so special is it's just for you and me. Whenever you are lonely or even feeling blue. You only have to hold this love and know I think of you. You never can unwrap it, leave this love unscathed. Just hold it close to your heart and know in love your bathed. 

There's a glow in my eyes this Christmas, That has much to do with you, There's a feeling in the air this Christmas, Hinting that dreams do come true. There's a song in my heart this Christmas, A birthday song of praise, There's a prayer on my lips this Christmas, Thankful for God's good ways. There's a peace in my soul this Christmas, Trusting in God's sweet care, There's a joy in my smile this Christmas, And a soft, thankful prayer...
