  And to think that I was complaining....

  by Kat_ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  about not having hot water (burned out fuse), the tiny house i am currently staying in, my broken marriage, the lack of money i possess--thousands of people are dead and my complaints now seem so trivial and meaningless.

  everything seems so meaningless now.

  i couldn't even bring myself to go online today until now--no motivation.

  i woke up this morning as you all did to this chaos that has enveloped our country, for those of you outside our country i am sure you were just as shocked.

  nothing as devistating has happened during my lifetime.

  although for some of you in countrys where terriosm is an everyday occurence i now can see the horror and heartache you must deal with on a daily basis.

  Do it for yourself - further education

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of us have suffered at some time from ontological insecurity, who am i, where am i going?

  what do i want to do with my life?

  often, it can take a while to start seeing your personal dreams pay off, but when you do, it really is the best feeling ever.. i have not a qualification at present to my name but i've fought and fought to get to where i am now, going to college for the first time in my life at the grand age of 34 to study 3 of the subjects that are extremely close to my heart.. garden design, environmental conservation and farm diversification and sustainability.. my first two days this past week, well, it just felt great to be plugging into life with what i always wanted to do, and i'd encourage anyone else to do the same.. learn new skills, meet new people, question things, inquire with an inquisitive mind, challenge yourselves, motivate others, try new sporting activities, hell, go skydiving, that much oxogen blowing up the nostrils must be one hell of a rush.. still, be kind to yourselves, know your limits and don't beat yourself up too much like i've done to myself and learnt the hard way, that this does one no positive favours.. i guess what i'm trying to say is, go out there and enjoy your life, you have this given right and the only thing that is stopping any of you is you.. give life stink!!

  my mom's cousin sharon passed away at 1:30pm thursday september 6, 2001. she was a lovely person and was always more like a sister than a cousin.

  mulan held her hand every step of the way through a battle with breast cancer and she was with her when she died.. mom's birthday is tomorrow.

  now she will celebrate sharon's life along with her own every year at this time.. i wish there was some way to ease your pain mom.
