Welcome to my Care2 Corner . . . 
Yes, I am a Cat Lover - but I also love ALL animals. I love having friends, too, but I do wish to be able to have friends who I can actually be friendly with ... not just people who wish to add me in order to promote a cause. I really do commend people who work so hard at petition signing and news noting ... but I must limit that sort of thing to only what I know I can handle. I tend to carry the really sad animal stories with me for days - and that makes for some not so good days. So, I ask all of my friends to please not include me in the forwarding of terrible or sad petitions and news stories. If you do, I will have to discontinue my friendship :-( 
Thanks so much!! And thank you for stopping by my Care2 Corner!

I love photography! Especially sunsets and the ocean.
I also enjoy creating photos from 2 or 3 or more of
my photos - like the one above :-)










       

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
and give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it
or do I try to catch them red handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
or do I trust nobody and live in lonliness?
Because I can't hold on
when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves
but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again.
