    I have really felt lost lately. Trying to bring a lot of in out in marriage therapy....four sessions already...pretty painful. I actually must have bought into the big hopes and dreams and all....cause now that I don't believe it anymore....I just dont have a clue anymore about life and where i am heading. Just growing old and dying sucks!!!....not afraid of death at all...at least that is now an unknown adventure. I just dont seem to fit in anywhere anymore....and have no clue what life is about anymore........

    I do really feel a bond with so many of you here.......thank you guys............oompa

    very few of us ever feel like we fit in Oompa... This too will pass... It will get easier, and days will seem brighter, like a ship, sometimes you have to ride out the storm. You'll get through it.

    Ooompa, you and I need to do a trip to Alaska next year on the bikes.....nothing will ground you and bring a sense of calm like the Alaska Highway thru Canada and into Alaska. The scenery is awe inspiring starting on the Icefiled Parkway which starts west of Calgary all the way to Prudhoe Bay inside the Arctic Circle in Alaska. This ride is like a mental reset button, gets your priorities re-shuffled......whadda ya think, can you spare a month!!!

    A good friend of mine was/is considering doing this next year, too. He was thinking May or June 2009. The AlCan Highway.

    I bought him a book about it for Christmas. Very informative.

    Then last month he crashed badly. Don't know if the trip is still on or off. I won't ask him until he can at least easily wash his own hair.

    OOPS!! Sorry for the little hijack. Bike trips get me distracted.

    -Aude.

    You will find yourself, oomps.

    IMO, the farthest you can get from the JW religion the better. I know that Mrs Oompa is still in, but I think it should be helpful that you are being frank with her about your feelings about the org, and that you have ExJW friends. So when can I call?

She is actually warming a bit to middle ground ideas....the therapy lady was really good at explaining my need for similar friends.......and a support group like jwd...........thanks........oomps
