Anti-Ageing Prayer: Remembering That Happiness Is Not Measured By Youth Or Age
Lord, help me to stay young at heart as my body ages. And not be closed-minded and full of yesterday’s rages. For yesterday is only a memory to be visited from time to time And not a place to linger too long and worship like a shrine. May I remember that happiness is not measured by youth or a (posted by Fran Larson 278 days 10 hours ago.)

Comforting Mother’s Day Quotes & Stories For Moms Who’s Children Have Died.
My thoughts today are for Moms who have lost a child through death. As Mother’s Day approaches, I know that not every Mother will be opening presents and enjoying a special treat their child has prepared. Nor will they be looking forward to Mother’s Day, as their feelings and memories erupt and they feel such pain and loss. I wish I... (posted by Fran Larson 13 days 13 hours ago.)

Mom's The Word: Mom Functioned Under A Cloud Of Fear & Despair, But The Best Mom Ever
When I was about 6 years old, I heard a scream exactly 3 times. It was a horrible, desperate scream. It was so frightening that I ran from our house to outside. I will never forget how scared I was and how alone I felt. It was my mother who was screaming. I heard murmurings about a "nervous breakdown." After that day, I remained in a...

Do You Feel Invisible, Ignored And Old? This Is A Good Thing: You Are Evolving To Your True Self
Do you sometimes feel invisible? Do you feel like a ghost walking around that can hear and see everyone but they can’t hear or see you? If you feel like a ghost, maybe you are an angry ghost. You wave your hands and speak and no one acknowledges you because you are invisible. You are old. As we age, it would be easy to... (posted by Fran Larson 32 days 8 hours ago.)

Oh, I don’t mean things that are costly Or things that are worth their weight in gold, What I mean is things that hold a story Love-things with a story that never grows old.
