The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes.  Summer wanes and the cold increases.  The sun rises; the sun sets.  The moon is full;  the moon is black.  The birds arrive; the birds depart.  Flowers bloom; flowers fade.  Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. All Nature is a circle of moods and I am part of Nature therefore like the tides my moods will rise; my moods will fall. 
Yesterday's joy will become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy.  I understand that I must have yin and yang.  I am thankful for each.  I am thankful for the loneliness for it tests my character; I am thankful for every "I love you" for it makes my soul rejoice.  Thank you for my heartache for it allows me to appreciate what I do have; thank you for the warmth and affection for it acknowledges my love.  I will laugh at the world, at it's sorrow and suffering, at it's joy and ecstasy, but most of all I will laugh at myself, because we are most comical when we take ourselves too seriously.  With love in my heart I will make today the best day ever because today is all I have. Yesterday is gone forever though the memories still remain; yet tomorrow never comes. I wish everyone the same.  Love and gratitude, Derek
