Let It Grow Lyrics by Eric Clapton
Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow.

[Chorus:]
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow.

Looking for a reason to check out of my mind,
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there’s nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow.

[Chorus]

Time is getting shorter and there’s much for you to do.
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your love and let it grow.

Hope Xx I think having the capacity to love is a gift my friend Xx you have that capacity and its warm and shows…you’ll never be lonely I heard this song this morning and thought of my poor old mother…my father said she never had the capacity to love and thats why she was cold and bitter…I thought he was being mean because she was cold towards him…yet in later life ...I can see why he said it not be mean ..not as an excuse…he felt sorry for her Xx I believe having that trait of be loving is a gift which makes humans loveable Xx Thank you for your posts too Paul because having that kindness is warm Chloe

That’s really kind THANK YOU

Chloe

Paul,
How are you? I understand where you come from. I don’t initiate much contact with other people, and just want to have the peace and quite most of the time. There is always someone’s birthday, babe shower etc… I find it is becoming too much for me. My partner doesn’t think I am sociable enough these days, but I guess that I am just doing what I can to live a life that doesn’t have too much pressure from the outside world.

Hope you are well. Best wishes to you and your son!

Our biggest worries - and how to beat them

Print this page|EmailShare on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on DiggShare on Lifestream 2 CommentsThe Samaritans’ annual survey of the UK’s worries, published recently, shows that – you guessed it – money and job security are the big fears for 2011. Cut down on worry and big bills with our top money-saving tips.

The problem: No money
Nearly 60% of the 2000-plus people surveyed fear they won’t have enough money to live comfortably this year, with well over a third worried about losing their jobs or having difficulty finding work.

The solutions
Take charge; turn the problem into a challenge. Just how much money can you save this year?

Free food
For example, get free meals and even nights in hotels by being a mystery shopper. Signing up with a reputable agency like TNS-Global lets you eat out for free in return for reviewing your experience online.

Use up the food in your cupboards
Only buy perishables to go with tins and packets you already have. That should cut down the food bills in January at least.

Nearly-free holidays
Get into house-swapping for nearly free holidays. There are several house-swapping websites where you can get away from it all in someone else’s home anywhere in the world while they stay in yours.

Do a budget
Finally, and most importantly, do a budget. Even if it’s on the back of an envelope, write two lists - one of your monthly incomings, and one of your monthly essential outgoings.

“Take the latter from the former and you have a ballpark idea of what money you really have to play with each month” says Jasmine Birtles, financial expert and founder of money-saving site moneymagpie.com

“Aim to live well below your means and invest what’s left over. Keep doing that while you’re working and, I promise you will end up being OK” she adds.

Studies have shown that once we get the hang of it, we get as much fun, if not more, from not spending on things as we did on splurging. So give yourself and the family a goal of seeing how little you can spend and still have a good time. You might be surprised.

And if at any point it all seems too much, reach out. Samaritans are there 24-7. Your local Citizens Advice Bureau can also help.

Hope,

How are you my friend?  I know it’s hard to get out and about, with small steps and people around that understand is a positive forward.

Well, I have become one year old now. Felt sad yesterday for some reason… Yes, I am older, yet some parts of my life is not what I imagined it would be. For example, I don’t have a job.. I am not having the body that I hoped for etc. The thoughts were so vicious as they made me feel bad about myself for even being alive. I decided to go to bed and let myself rest. Does anyone feel OLD when they have their birthday? I know that I have a lot to be thankful in my life, but when the bad thoughts come, the whole world seem to be so hopeless and overwhelming.

Thank you for your message, Paul. I came back from a trip recently. Now am in the process to get back to the real world and searching for a job. Fingers crossed! Also started eating a bit better and exercise - hope to loose some weight and be fit again. You are so right about the babe steps. Well, I will need to meet some friends for dinner tonight as they want to take me out for my birthday. Reluctant to go as I feel that I don’t have much stories to tell, still jobless and put on weight. Once upon a time,I was always so keen to see people and get out about. What ever happened? Wish someone could point me a road, then I will just go for it!!!

What about you lot? Do you celebrate birthday?

Love you all!

Hope
