You seem to have gained a lot of wisdom in the last year or so - and none of it easily. <BR/><BR/>You seem to be realistic about the future - it is not bright and shining just around the bend. But there is always hope. And I think I hear that twinge of hope behind and alongside your words. <BR/><BR/>Keep growing, keep creating, keep writing.spookyrachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652180845736295060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1133984685502688372005-12-07T13:44:00.000-06:002005-12-07T13:44:00.000-06:00Here's my second crack at posting a comment to thi...Here's my second crack at posting a comment to this, if this one gets lost, we know it wasn't meant to be!<BR/>I gotta bring up the age thing....oh, stop cringing, I know you want to smack me, just go ahead and do it and get it over with! From my own mid-life experience, I think we do tend to start looking around ourselves, and in some bad case of overload, we (overly so) re-evaluate, analyze, then analyze again, and it goes on. We get redundant, in a manner of speaking. "where am I going?, Where have I been?, where am I now?" Oh boy, do I ever know........this from someone who (meaning me) is used to running her life full steam ahead, in control, and always with a end goal in mind......very constructed and rigid. The hardest thing in life to do, (for me) was relinquish control to something much larger than myself. And to realize, that at this point, some things just don't matter. I had to admit I dont' control everything, and frankly, what a relief, when I realized that. You sort of let yourself off the hook, but in a good way. It isn't about becoming self-centered, but more of a re-centering of your "self". The end.........for nowLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658952413441149677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1133917362379630802005-12-06T19:02:00.000-06:002005-12-06T19:02:00.000-06:00Oh Annie.

If you could do anything different right now, what would it be. Not change anything but start doing something...what would that be?Princess of Everything (and then some)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15389182962616830610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1133814690893986312005-12-05T14:31:00.000-06:002005-12-05T14:31:00.000-06:00Freaking blogger.........I wrote a nice long note ...Freaking blogger.........I wrote a nice long note to you and it got lost............kill me now.........Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658952413441149677noreply@blogger.com
