So I get this e-mail about a bracelet and I learn that the hardest 3 things to say is:

1. I love you.
2. I'm sorry.
3. Help me.

I agree. Seems like something too foreign for a WS t/d. Yet it is vital that the BS and family learn to do it even more so while the fog is hanging around them. Those words can be powerful tools. They are short and go straight to the heart of the matter. In many cases, the WS' have a short attention span, so these little and powerful words can be helpful, but don't overuse them with a WS. That w/b like throwing pearls b4 swine.

Then I learn that those who dress in red tend to be more confident. Those who like to wear yellow know their beauty and those who wear black like to go unnoticed.....well I'm a bit mixed up because I like to wear red and black. Often together. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The friendly reminder that lending a helping hand brings it back 2-fold was good. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well it said something about sending it to a bunch of people but I just wanted to share some of it with you all. Not for what would benefit me but just to share a couple of good thoughts. Not sure about the colored clothes though. LOL!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Have a nice day!!!

Hi Orchid,

I have NO idea what the first of your post is about, maybe I missed something? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Good advice though, and powerful words indeed, both for a WS and a BS.
Well maybe... a FWS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

About the dress colors..
So you want to be confident and go unnoticed ?
That works for me, oh wise one ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Good Morning O!

I would have to agree with that...I know that the hardest one for me is asking for help!

I am so terrible at asking for help...it's like I'd rather choke on my own vomit...LOL...I'm working on it...

To me it really makes me vulnerable...

I really do appreciate the RB lesson...it truely came in handy...

This is what the Lord says:
"Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it
and you will find rest for your souls.
