Let's say some heartfelt words here! Does anyone want to join in?

[happy wendy]

Hello, my friends. I think it would be a good way to say some heartfelt words and share with each other here. We can share our happiness and tears here. No matter tears or happiness, we can write it down here. Perhaps I can't help you a lot, but I will always be your loyal audience and I will also share what I am experiencing in my daily life. Why am I doing this? Because I am willing to be a listener absorbing your emotion and experience. As a listener, not only could you share happiness with me, you could also share your sadness and tears. We could help and support each other through this way.
Hn...Let me share my happiness now. As you know, several days ago, because of my jealousy, I was not happy. But I'm better now, because some friends here helped me a lot. Thanks! Friends.Thanks for your help. And through this experience, I learn that speaking out your heartfelt words is so helpful.
So, let's say some heartfelt words here! Happiness, tears, sadness……
Last but not least, actually I’m not a native speaker and I am on the process of practicing this language. So, please forgive my poor English and not reply timely sometimes.

1. I don't really have anything to share here.

I just wanted to say, you have no reason to apologize for your English. It is not at all difficult to understand. Had you not mentioned it, I would not have guessed this was not your first language.

[happy wendy]

7. So pleased to hear from you!

Hi, friend. How are you doing? Thanks for your reply. You are so kind. To be honest, I didn't go to university and just graduated from senior middle school. But I like English very much and I really like to talk with others in English. Yet,when I talk with others in English, sometimes I make some mistakes. Last time, I nearly mistook a man for a woman when I replied to him because I misunderstood a sentence which he said. Fortunately, I realized my mistake at last. So if I make some mistakes, please forgive me. Nice talking with you.

12. I will be honest here

you write better English than many home-grown Americans I know

I am NOT kidding

[So Far From Heaven]

34. I have a standard response to ESL students who apologize:

'You're way ahead of me, you know two languages and I'm still trying to learn my first.'

Nice post.

2. —Thich Nhat Hanh

[center][font size="3"]The Four Immeasurables[/font]
(or The Four Elements of True Love)

True love is made of four elements: loving kindness, compassion, joy, and
equanimity. In Sanskrit, these are maitri, karuna, mudita, and upeksha.
If your love contains these elements, it will be healing and transforming,
and it will have the element of holiness in it. True love has the power to
heal and transform any situation and bring deep meaning to our lives.

6. Thanks for your sharing!

Thanks a lot, my friend. This is what I need. It's very helpful for me. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

[kentauros]

14. You're welcome! :)

Thich Nhat Hanh and Rumi are two favorites, so I'm happy to share, here or wherever

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

~ Rumi

[happy wendy]

19. Thanks again, my friend!

So beautiful words. I think you must be knowledgeable and well-cultivated.

[kentauros]

23. Thanks to a lifetime of what's often called a "dabbler"

though that is also not often used as a compliment

I take it as such anyway. It's fun learning all those ideas across the whole spectrum of mindful writings

3. Kick for happy wendy

I'm a little bit stressed at the moment Wendy, but I'm going to be okay. I've got my head together and I've got my lovely wife. With those two things I can get along just fine.

[happy wendy]

8. I'm sorry for my late reply!

Hello, friend. Nice hearing from you. How are you? Are you better now? I don't know what happened to you, but I sincerely hope that you are happy. I'm so sorry for my late reply.

[mackerel]

4. I have chocolate so I'm good to go.

5. Welcome to DU, happy wendy.

You certainly seem to live up to your name.

And your English is excellent. Nothing to apologize for.

I hope you enjoy it here.

From a long-time DU-er...

[happy wendy]

10. Thanks, my friend. I enjoy staying here.

So nice hearing from you! How are you? May you have a good day. Just as you said I seem to live up to my name, because I want to be happy, so I named myself happy wendy. But as you know, happy wendy is not always happy. Hn... I'm happy today! And I'll try my best to be happy everyday. Nice hearing from you! I have a good time here.

[Aristus]

11. I'm well, thank you.

I'm happy today. Not every day. But today...

[happy wendy]

20. It's a good news.

So glad to hear that you are happy. Hn... I can't be sure that I can be happy every day. But I try my best. These two days I'm so happy.

21. Welcome to DU - Words from Ray Bradbury...

"Summer had gathered in the weather, the wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow. You had only to rise, lean from your window, and know that this indeed was the first real time of freedom and living, this was the first morning of summer." ~ Ray Bradbury, "Dandelion Wine"

[fizzgig]

24. i can almost feel it

lovely

[happy wendy]

26. Thanks, friend!

What a wonderful scene! I feel warm.

[TuxedoKat]

27. Oh, I loved that book

Love Rad Bradbury too. That is a book that should be reread every spring.

[KamaAina]

22. Welcome to DU!

[happy wendy]

25. Thank you!

[WinkyDink]

28. My sadness is that no-one I know in RL cares to hear of my sadness. It's too "negative."

[happy wendy]

30. I hope you are doing well.

I'm so sorry for my late reply. How are you doing? I don't know what makes you say so, but I sincerely hope you are doing well now.
Share something which I learned from a English speaking video.

But, what do you do when you come across a great big wall blocking your path to success?
Life happens!
Problems come up.
Life is difficult.
Sometimes it's easy...
but sometimes it's hard!
So what should you do...
Just decide to get past it!
You can't just stand there
in front of the wall
that is blocking you.
Don't just look at the wall
and say, "It's too hard."
Don't just think that it's too much of a challenge.
Just take a step back and look around for a solution.
Search for ways to overcome it.
Maybe you can climb over the wall...
Maybe you can climb over the wall...
Maybe you can find a door on the wall...
Maybe you can find a spoon and start digging a tunnel under the wall.
Maybe you can get some explosives and blow up the wall.
Until you look for solutions, you will never know what is possible.
No matter how long that wall was stood,
it does not have the power to stop a persistent person.
The human will can not be stopped.
Especially when determined.

[WinkyDink]

32. Oh, thank you! It's grief I can't overcome, as I spent too much time living unkindly and out

of touch.

I simply miss my husband (2014) and mother (2015) so much.

[So Far From Heaven]

35. From your post I cannot accept you lived unkindly.

I am truly sorry for your losses. I don't know what I would do if I lost my wife.

[mopinko]

29. i had such a good divorce.

so happy it is all over, and i will be fine. in fact, i am even left in a position to have a little fun.
gonna buy a new car soon. have some money to invest.

a little lonely, but mostly, truly good.

[happy wendy]

31. May you have a good new start.

[happy wendy]

33. Honesty is the best policy.

The day before yesterday I found a job. And I think it's very good. I like it very much. The job is to look after a child and cook. But when the host parent asked me about my health( she asked me whether I have Hepatitis A or Hepatitis B or other infectious diseases), I told a lie. I said I'm healthy and don't have any infectious disease. Because I'm so eager to get that job and finally I got the job. Well... actually I have a genetic HBeAg. Because of my lies, my heart was uneasy and accused. I know I should be honest and tell the truth to the host parent. But if I tell the truth, I will lose that job. My heart was filled with conflicting feelings. After a night's fight between my conscience and my personal gain and loss , yesterday morning I chose to tell the truth to the host parent. Though I lost that job at last, I don't feel regret because my heart was no longer uneasy and accused. Because honesty is the best policy.

[So Far From Heaven]

36. You're better off finding a new job.

I was ignorant about HBeAg until this post. Thank you.

After reading CDC guidelines I wonder why these people would consider that a problem. This is the same hateful discrimination used against people who are HIV positive.

Your honesty is commendable.

Patience. Find someone that has a brain to work for. They are out there.

[happy wendy]

37. When God closes a door, He opens a window.

Thank you very much my friend. May you have a good day today. Tell you a good news, I have just found a new job and this job is better than that one before.

[So Far From Heaven]

38. de nada.

I really do hope things go well from here.

[happy wendy]

39. ¿Hablas Español?

Yo tambien hablo Español, pero un poco.

[So Far From Heaven]

41. Unfortunately, no.

I live in a state where Spanish should be a required second language, but I have only managed to pick up a bunch of bits and pieces.

Sorry.

[steve2470]

40. may I ask your country of origin ?

If too nosy, my apology. Heartfelt words: I love my son very very much, and want him to contribute to a better world.

[happy wendy]

42. I come from China

So nice to hear from you. I come from China. How about you?
I think you must be a good father. Your son is so lucky to have such a good father.

[steve2470]

43. I am from the USA, and thank you :) nt
