I typed it all out a while ago, but I know I heard it on an MP3 online. I can’t for the life of me remember who this was by, or who read it. HELP?

God, help me to greet all those I encounter with a smile instead of a frown, and a soft word of encoragement instead of distain, or even worse, silence. To be sympathetic to the sorrows of others, realizing there are hidden woes in every life. Help me to understand life always rewards me on the terms that I establish, and if I never perform or deliver more than that for which I am paid, never will I have reason to demand or expect any extra reward. For now I know that the angel of happiness and the pot of gold awates me only at the end of the extra mile that still lays ahead. Hold fast to my dreams and plans for a better life, for if I relinquish them… although I still might exist, I will have seised to live.

Someone in my divorce support group told me a week ago that he wonders if I’ve passed the denial or bargaining stages (I fluctuate). I thought I had, at least for the most part.

But I realized this morning that last night was the first time I’ve dreamed since he moved out, as far as I can remember. And those dreams were violent, which is just not me (I’m all talk, but am one of the least violent people EVER). In one, my dad, MAWBS (short for "might-as-well-be stepdad), my one male cousin (also one of my best friends), sisters, brothers-in-law… well, they just beat the holy hell out of him.

I don’t believe all the stuff about what dreams mean ("if you have a dream about a pickle, it means you’re in for a financial crisis soon" kind of stuff), but do you think the fact that I started dreaming again, and that they were related to my divorce and ex, implies a change in my grieving stage?

I have Higher Diploma in counseling Psychology and am looking for a university that would offer BA in counseling Psychology. I have been looking for financial Aid to help me realize my dreams. How do i go about it. A.C.O, Kenya.

I have a wonderful girlfriend- I foresee us getting married one day. But I am thinking that I would like for her to sign and agree to a prenup agreement. You see, I want to have money saved up for the car of my dreams. I have already told her that part.

I don’t intend nor hope that the marriage fails- but it could happen. You just never know. Hence, I want to know for sure that she wouldn’t try to take away that money that I save up, if we ever decided to go our separate ways. Does that make sense?

I am reasonably sure that an attorney would be able to find out about my secret account- certainly if she informed him/her of its existence. I hope and pray that this never happens- but I can’t predict the future.

So, I feel reluctant to talk to my sweetheart about this. If I try to see things from her point of view, I can understand why it may bother her if I wanted to have a prenup. It may even suggest that I feel that we may not stay together forever.

What do you think?

Me and my best friend had a huge fight 2 weeks ago, resulting each other saying that we are done with each other. I have been having several dreams about us making up, even though there isn’t a good chance of that.

I think i need to go see a marriage consular. I do not have health insurance anymore, and i can not afford to pay someone 125 an hour to talk to.

I can not talk to my mom because she is pissed that i feel like this… My best friend keeps telling i told you so, I don’t have any other friends and the reast of my family agrees with me but wont give me advice…

My problem is my husband is a all of a sudden a bum, doesnt wanna get a "real" job with beniefts and sercurity. He wont do anything in the house since he is not working, he doesnt support me and my daughter. I have no respect for him anymore and i don’t want to be with intimely either. I have been in a permamently bad mood for 6 weeks now. I can’t throw him out because the little money he brings in we need.

I have so many dreams. But i have to use that money i have saved to pays the bills coming up in the next few weeks. So what i’m looking for someone to give me sound advice on my problems whenever i need it. Is there anything out there that can help?
I do work. I work a 9 – 5 job. My income is what is keeping this family afloat. I can not work anymore than i do. I want to see my child at some point in the day

I’m curious, six months after my breakup I have dreamt of my ex but we still talk and txt so I’m thinking this is what’s triggering the dreams. Has anyone gone years after the relationship dreaming of an ex?

I’ve found "Love must be tough" by Dr. James Dobson. Is that a good book? Last week my husband was looking a porn on the internet and I wanted him to move out immediately. I asked for advice from others, and I took their advice. I didn’t leave him. Insead we spent the whole weekend talking about life, love, dreams, and our future plans together.
However I want our marriage to be okay and for us to move on. I’m looking for a way to heal and get pass this on our own. I took the first step and forgave him, now what?
