Initiate Think of the people in your life. Are there any words you'd like to say? Are there any hugs you want to share? Are you waiting and hoping someone else will ask first? Please don't wait! Initiate.

Night (Twinkeltje)   Night's mystery surrounds my soul with beauty Softly covering my thoughts with silence and kissing them goodnight Closing my eyes from the hectic world outside with it's cool touch on my skin And slowly pacing my inner self in the rythm of harmony Until I can recognise myself in me again

Luisteren Als ik je vraag naar mij te luisteren en jij begint mij adviezen te geven, dan doe je niet wat ik je vraag. Als ik je vraag naar mij te luisteren en jij begint mij te vertellen, waarom ik iets niet zo moet voelen als ik het voel dan neem jij mijn gevoelens niet serieus.fficeffice" /> Als ik je vraag naar mij te luisteren en jij denkt dat jij iets moet doen om mijn problemen op te lossen, dan laat je mij in de steek, hoe vreemd dat ook mag lijken. Misschien is dat de reden waarom voor sommige mensen bidden werkt; omdat God niets terugzegt en hij geen adviezen geeft, of probeert de dingen voor je te regelen. Hij luistert alleen en vertrouwt erop dat je er zelf wel uitkomt. Dus alsjeblieft, luister alleen maar naar me en probeer me te begrijpen. En als je wilt praten, wacht dan even en ik beloof je dat ik op mijn beurt naar jou zal luisteren. Uit: 'Loving each other' van Leo Buscaglia Bijgedragen door H. Bassing

The Hug (author unknown)   It's wondrous what a hug can do. A hug can cheer you when you're blue. A hug can say, "I love you so," Or "I hate to see you go." A hug is "Welcome back again," And "Great to see you! Where've you been?" A hug can soothe a small child's pain, And bring a rainbow after rain. The hug, there's just no doubt about it --- We scarcely could survive without it! A hug delights and warms and charms, It must be why God gave us arms. Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers; And chances are your favorite aunts Love them more than potted plants. Kittens crave them, puppies love them; Heads of states are not above them. A hug can break the language barrier, And make travel so much merrier. No need to fret about your store of 'em; The more you give, the more there's more of 'em. So stretch those arms without delay And give someone a hug today!!!!

Anyway (mother Theresa)   People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway.fficeffice" /> If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got ANYWAY.

My Declaration of Self-Esteem (Virginia Satir)   I AM ME In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me Everything that comes out of me is authentically me 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 to myself - I own my fanatasies, My dreams, my hopes, my fears - I own all 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 me in 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 for 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 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 fficeffice" />
