Dolce Vita

For all those times you stood by me For all the truth that you made me see... For all the joy you brought to my life... For all the wrong that you made right... For every dream you made come true... For all the love I found in you.... I'll be forever thankful baby... You're the one who held me up... Never let me fall... You're the one who saw me through through it all... You were my strength when I was weak... You were my voice when I couldn't speak... You were my eyes when I couldn't see... You saw the best there was in me.... Lifted me up when I couldn't reach... You gave me faith 'coz you believed... I'm everything I am... Because you loved me... You gave me wings and made me fly... You touched my hand I could touch the sky... I lost my faith, you gave it back to me... You said no star was out of reach... You stood by me and I stood tall... I had your love I had it all... I'm grateful for each day you gave me... Maybe I don't know that much... But I know this much is true.... I was blessed because I was loved by you... You were my strength when I was weak... You were my voice when I couldn't speak... You were my eyes when I couldn't see... You saw the best there was in me... Lifted me up when I couldn't reach.... You gave me faith 'coz you believed... I'm everything I am... Because you loved me... You were always there for me... The tender wind that carried me... A light in the dark shining your love into my life... You've been my inspiration... Through the lies you were the truth... My world is a better place because of you... You were my strength when I was weak... You were my voice when I couldn't speak... You were my eyes when I couldn't see... You saw the best there was in me... Lifted me up when I couldn't reach... You gave me faith 'coz you believed... I'm everything I am... Because you loved me... I'm everything I am... Because you loved me.....

Silence

silence

Sherlock Holmes once solved a murder mystery based not on what happened but on what didnt happen. Holmes remarked to his assistant, Dr Watson, about "the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime". Watson, surprised, responds, "But the dog did nothing in the nighttime". To which Holmes replied,"That was the curious incident."Holmes concluded the crime had to be committed by someone with whom the dog was familiar because the watchdog didnt bark.

The dog didnt bark in the night is often used as a metaphor for an event that is significant by reason of its absence. That story is also an excellent illustration of the importance of silence in communication.
Silence-defined here as an absence of speech or noise-has been generally ignored as a form of communication beacuse it represents inaction or nonbehavour.But its not necessarily inaction. Nor is silence, as many believe, a failure to communicate. It can, in fact, be a powerful form of communication.It can mean someone is thinking or contemplating a response to a question. It can mean a person is anxious and fearful of speaking. It can signal agreement, dissent, frustration, or anger.


Failing to pay closeattention to the silent portion of a conversation can result in missinga vital part of the message. Astute communicators watch for gaps, pause, and hesitations.They hear and interprete silence. They treat pauses for instance, as analogous to a flashing yellow light at an intersection - they pay attention to what comes next. Is the person thinking, deciding how to frame an answer? Is the person suffering from communication apprehension? Sometimes the real message in a communication is burried in the silence.

Todays thought :

"I love it when I am sad..it hepls me value happiness

I love it when I am lonely..it helps me value company"

Pure ones simply are symbols of God.

You are a Queen!
Beautiful, Wise, Strong
Righteous, Commanding, Humble
You are the beautiful and compassionate Queen. You are the

aggressive, smart, womanly and feminine. You know the right thing
to do and do it. You command respect and earn praise. You are

within, and are a source of strength for others
