Thank you so much for this gift . . . . my eyes are trickling tears as my smile shines as big as the sky . . . what a combination . You have helped me to remember that a birthday is a special day . . . . always has been and will be . It's been a long time since I allowed myself to feel joy about being born .

Amy . . . I am very sorry that I referred to you as Amanda in my thread "reflections of my soul" . . . . maybe you were not even aware of it . . . . I don't know . . . . . but when it struck me . . . . I felt kind of rotten . . . afraid you'd think negatively of me . Well . . . . I am so darn human :shy . . . are not we all ? afraid of not being accepted for who we are . . . . in all our imperfections . Well . . . I truly have no control over what you may have thought . . . but I care . . . because I am Garth . I release my fear . . . zoooom ! I guess in reality you could not have been too upset . . . or you would not have taken the time to send me this wonderful gift on this day ! Thank You with all my heart:love

Amanda , isn't it ironic that you wished me a happy birthday also ? :happy . . . nah . . there are no coincidences . . . . every-one and every-thing seems to have it's place in this world . . . . . despite how we feel . Comforting and discomforting . . . . it is whole . Bless your heart this day . . . and much gratitude for you :love

Jeantee , one step thru fear . . . and our lives are changed forever

Fefa , thank you for this gift of remberance :happy

Today on this day of birth . . . I realize I . . . as we all . . . were born whole . We were not born deficent in anything . We don't need to do anything special . . . or be anyone we are not . In love . . . what more could we possibly need ? May we all remember our wholeness on this and all days .
This sounds so simple . . . yet appears so difficult . remember . . . appears

In coming to the :bowl . . . I wondered if any would understand a word I said . . . if anyone could relate to my heart . I was apprehensive to express myself for I felt little confidence to be Garth . . . as I wasn't sure if it was OK to be me . Slowly . . . day by day . . . I'm believing in myself . . . believing what I feel is worthy of expression . I feel as though I'm coming out of a cocoon I retreated to many years ago as way to protect myself . Sometimes comfort is hell . . . . the easy way is really hard . . . . and the simple things are very complex . Welcome to life :cute
BTW . . do you notice we do not have a symbol for laughter or giggling ? . . . or silliness ? hmmmmm

:love Garth:sun

Happy Birthday Garth!:balloons

Thank you for being you and being free to express yourself in only the way Garth can! You are an asset to the :bowl and may your birthday this year find you growing and loving even more than you already do!
Love beth :sun

:hugon Dear Beth :hugoff

Your words have always been kind and encouraging
underneath all those letters
is the real meaning of communication
it is simple really
Love

What else could I ask for on this earth ?
A gift for which I cannot demand
a feeling I cannot anticipate
it suprises me
soothes me
even challenges me

Today is but love
in all there is
all I do
my eyes are often blinded
my mind muddled
my senses dulled

Yet love rules them all
can I not see that?
believe that?
and sense that?

. . . . just a thought for this moment.
Thanks for thinking of me on my birthday Beth !

:love Garth:sun
