Bear hugs for you :)

Tender hearts much like teddy bears
Peace be still, your friend is near
My hugs I send through email
Tis' a sweet spirit, I long to share

Maybe we'll only meet online
Our paths crossed for a reason
To God in all, there is a season
Cuddle and hugs and friendship true
May friendship and love envelope you
Butterfly
Friends are precious gifts from above
To nurture and share this gift of love
Embrace a teddy bear today
Know true friendship is here to stay

Smile and look into his button eyes
Talk to him and release tension and strife
So warm and fuzzy filled with care
Yes...Jesus gives us His love to share
Butterfly
Through friends, family and teddy bears
Just feel His connection is everywhere
For He sent me with this poem to share
Jesus will never forsake you...He's always there

Big Hugs of friendship, I now share
Remember I too am just an email away
God bless you my dear friends
May you have a blessed day.

The Feeling Elements of Love and Their Origins

"Love" is a broad, loose term for several different patterns of behavior. These patterns belong mostly to the appetitive system and to surplus activity which is brought into its service, and they are all pleasurable, except under prolonged deprivation of objects. They are all learned patterns, to the extent at least of having discovered persons as sources of satisfaction and hence of having developed desires which have persons as objects. "Love" may be broken down and the elements classified in many different ways, with as much or as little detail as we wish. This writer has found helpful a simple analysis which considers first the feelings or emotional states which are involved in love experiences, and second, the objects and situations which arouse these feelings.
The first type of feeling we shall call tenderness. It seems to involve sensations arising from the skin, particularly that of the chest, face, and inner surface of the arms, 5 and its motor expression or drive is toward skin contacts with the object, with light pressure and slow gentle movements. The feelings involved in nursing or being nursed, cuddling, and the nonerotic kiss may be placed under this heading. These reactions form a group which is allied with the biological functions of feeding the infant and protecting the child or weaker person. Probably the feelings in the protégé or nursling are somewhat different from those in the protector or mother, and this might be the basis for a subclassification.
The second type of feeling is a very broad category which we may call joy. Its prototype is seen in the gleeful delight of the young child when surprised by finding a lost toy or a person who is playfully hiding from him. Feelings in this group do not seem to be tied up with skin sensations. They are aroused by visual and auditory perceptions and olfactory and muscular sensations; as personality develops, they become linked very much to mental images and ideas. Introspection does suggest a localization of joyful feelings in the interior of the chest and partly in the muscles. 6 A joyous person tends to breathe deeply and sometimes rapidly, and often feels a pleasant muscular urge to run and jump ("exultation," "going wild," etc.). Laughter, and even weeping, are other expressions. Some of these reactions, especially those which are called "excitement" (heart acceleration, etc.) belong to the defensive system. But they operate under such conditions that they are pleasant rather than disagreeable. Joy involves a great deal of random or surplus behavior. It is often an experience of sudden relief from anger, fear, or anguish, occurring when these defensive reactions have achieved a sudden success. The most intense joys are obtained by subjecting the organism to some form of tension or "suspense" with some unpleasant feelings, and then quickly changing the situation to one of pleasure-producing stimuli (the roller-coaster pattern). The sudden redirection of energy takes the form of laughter, shouting, dancing, and other surplus movements, sometimes weeping -- all quite pleasant.
When the source of joy is something upon which we must concentrate with eyes, ears, or thinking processes, the reaction is likely to be less violent in the muscular realm but perhaps even more intense as to visceral reactions or inner feelings. Of this character are the "serenity" and "ecstasy" of contemplating something beautiful or something totally satisfying to the whole personality. These feelings sometimes take the form of "thrills," which seem to be some kind of reaction in the chest or abdomen, often accompanied by a moderate muscular tonus and extreme alertness of the sense organs.
Feelings of the class called "joy" are especially characteristic of "romantic love." This supreme passion is a total love containing also tenderness, but with the latter held in leash. Quite significantly, romantic love is said to be in the heart. This writer elsewhere has called it "cardiac-respiratory love."
It is found in homesickness or nostalgia as well as in love of a person. This feeling is especially apt to be attached to a love-object of long acquaintance. We might call it "nostalgic love." Then there is a gay and playful feeling which enters into many, and perhaps at times all love relations. There is the calm pleasure which we call "sense of security" and which is commonly produced by the mere presence of friends, relatives, or persons upon whom we are dependent, without excitement or physical contact. There is the outburst of grateful feeling which occurs when the protector has rescued us when we were in fear or other suffering. There is the excitement of falling in love with a new person, and the deeper, richer excitement which occurs at the height of romantic love. It is impossible here to describe or classify all these types of joy adequately in terms of feeling; hence we have noted them partially in terms of the situations which commonly arouse them. We must remember, however, that the linkage of any feeling to any situation is a matter of individual learning. A description of a given situation or object may recall different feelings to different persons, while any carefully described feeling will not suggest the same situation or object to all persons.

the objects of love feelings

The feelings which enter into love may become linked to any stimulus itself not linked to defensive behavior or unpleasant emotions, which, as we have seen, always hold right of way over appetitive behavior and pleasant emotion. One can fondle a well-worn smoking jacket with a feeling of tenderness; one can arouse feelings through mere friction; and one can feel rapturous joy on hearing a symphony. Indeed, a child may cry out with delight when his favorite dish appears, "I love ice cream!" Yet for our purposes here, let us reserve the word "love" for cases where a person (other than self), either directly or through some symbol, is the object of the feeling.



When we say that love has an object, we are thereby implying that love is learned and not inborn. The capacity to have the feelings of love is of course inborn. Also, the linkage of these feelings to certain simple stimuli is inborn. A stimulus is any condition which produces a sensation; it may be merely noise or light or warmth. But an object is something which has some external unity, which the subject must learn to perceive and recognize even though it sends forth different combinations of stimuli at different times. The object must be sensed in several different settings, and its recognition thus requires learning or conditioning. The infant is born with a tendency to enjoy milk and warmth, but there is nothing in him at birth which predisposes him to love his mother rather than the nursing bottle or the bathtub. But that part of his environment which is his mother has characteristics which will almost inevitably cause her to become a perceived object and a loved object. So, also, there is no "instinct" to love the opposite sex as such (unless, perhaps, in some animals smell furnishes a clue to its identity). Young human beings have their impulses guided toward the opposite sex by teachings of their elders. They have to learn to identify the opposite sex -- and this requires learning many visual details which vary with costume. Most people do finally achieve heterosexual love. Even if this outcome were absolutely universal, however, as it decidedly is not, such heterosexuality would not be proved inborn or instinctive. Certain linkages are universally learned.



A love-object may be a specific person, or any person of a given class. In many persons there is a tendency to feel some tenderness toward almost any child who might fit into a broad description.
To say that a given person is the love-object and to state which of the feelings are involved, and how much of each, does not tell the whole story. The object always is perceived in some setting, and often through some indirect medium. Tenderness may be aroused by the picture of one's absent parent or spouse. Love feeling may sometimes require actual touch; at other times the mere sight of the exciting person is sufficient; sometimes a mental image briefly dwelt upon serves to arouse the feeling. The joy element may be aroused to a high degree by a telegram coming from one's beloved announcing his or her forthcoming arrival at the station.



A given object may be linked to only one of the types of love feeling, or to two, or to all. After a person has experienced total love, the feelings themselves tend to become interlinked through the object as a "bridge," so that in the future there may be an increased tendency for any object of partial love to become an object of total love. This is the natural course of development, but it may be blocked by personal or cultural inhibitions. Our traditional Euro-American culture has tended to prevent the natural integration of love feelings in the male. It has been subtly but effectively suggested to him that he would not feel tenderness toward the prostitute or other woman who aroused extreme feeling, and that toward his wife he should feel great tenderness. Yet when a man is emancipated from this tradition he finds it very easy and natural to love the same woman with extreme tenderness, and finds that each feeling reinforces the other. A pair of unmarried lovers caress each other with the intention of indulging only their tender feelings, when suddenly they find themselves consumed with desire. A married couple at the height of sexual excitement find themselves suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of tenderness.
In general, people finally marry partners who in most respects resemble themselves more than does a person selected at random. In some traits there is a mere random degree of resemblance. In no traits has it been found that people tend to marry their opposites, despite popular myths to that effect, except that they usually marry the opposite sex.



Much ink has been used in writing books about how man's love differs from woman's love. There do appear to be certain inborn sex differences in the rhythm of sexual desire, in the ease of its stimulation, and in various glandular and emotional factors. But these factors have about as much bearing upon total love life as the particular wood out of which a piano is built has to do with the tune which is being played upon it. Most of the folklore and literature about sex differences in love is a commentary upon some particular culture with its differential education of the sexes, and not as it purports to be a description of biological differences. Men and women are innately capable of the same feelings and the same object-attachments.

New Moon is a young adult fantasy-romance novel by author Stephenie Meyer, and is the second book in the Twilight saga. According to Meyer, this book is about losing true love.[1] The title refers to the darkest phase of the lunar cycle, indicating that New Moon is about the darkest time of the protagonist Bella's life.[2] It was originally published in hardcover in 2006. An upcoming film adaptation is tentatively set for release on November 20, 2009.[3]

Plot summary

Isabella "Bella" Swan turns 18. Alice and Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, throw her a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, she gets a small paper cut. Edward's brother, Jasper, is overwhelmed by her blood's scent and tries to attack Bella. To protect her from vampires, Edward ends his relationship with Bella, and he and his family leave Forks, Washington. Bella becomes severely depressed for months and seeks comfort with Jacob Black, a cheerful friend who eases her pain over losing Edward.

Bella and Jacob develop a close friendship, and she soon realizes that thrill-seeking activities, such as motorcycle riding, allow her to "hear" Edward's voice in her head. Meanwhile, Bella learns that Jacob is a werewolf. He and his fellow werewolves protect Bella from the vampires Laurent and Victoria, the latter of whom seeks revenge for her dead mate, James, whom the Cullens killed in Twilight.

Meanwhile, a series of miscommunications leads Edward to believe that Bella has killed herself. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward flees to Italy to provoke the Volturi, peace-keeping vampires who would be able to kill him. Bella and Edward's sister, Alice, rush to Italy to save Edward, arriving just in time to stop him. Before leaving Italy, the Volturi tell them that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire. When they return to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he has always loved her and only left to protect her. She forgives him, and the book ends with the Cullens voting in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire after her graduation, much to Edward's dismay.

Reception

New Moon rose to the #1 position on the New York Times Best Seller list for Children's Chapter Books in its second week on the list, and remained in that spot for eleven weeks. It spent over 30 weeks in total on the list. Hillias J. Martin of School Library Journal praised the book, saying, "Less streamlined than Twilight yet just as exciting, New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third".[4] A critic at Teenreads.com said, "In the middle, the story sometimes drags, and readers may long for the vampires' return. The events of New Moon, though, will leave Meyer's many fans breathless for the sequel, as Bella finally understands everything that will be at stake if she makes the ultimate choice to give up her humanity and live, like the vampires, forever."[5]

Film adaptation

A film adaptation of New Moon is scheduled for release on November 20, 2009.[6][7][8] It is the sequel to 2008's Twilight, which is based on the previous novel written by Meyer. The film will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively.[9] Summit Entertainment greenlit the sequel in late November 2008, which is being directed by Chris Weitz with Melissa Rosenberg returning as the screenwriter.[10] The majority of the film is being shot in Vancouver, British Columbia.[11]
