QUOTE OF THE DAY ===

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. -- Carl Jung (1875-1961, Swiss Psychiatrist)

Teresa, if you can remember this and use it as a guide, you will find that life will be much happier than if you spend a lot of time bemoaning to sadness in your life. Just to take the most common source of unhappiness -- a relationship breaking up, if you spend most of your time being happy that it happened, you will have a much better life than if you concentrate on being sad that it is over.

Hi Teresa T., whatcha been doing?

Teresa T. Sep 10, 2009, 1:49pm EDT

AS usual...trying to survive. I have been spending a lot of time on Facebook working on Farm Town, to keep me from going insane. Of course you might have thought that already happened. LOL

Several Gather members ore on there, even some older ones who are no longer here or were booted off. They have other games on there that I am starting to play and enjoy as well. And you?
