personally i am not taking it so hard. i remember the last gulf war,
and i know this one will probably be longer, but i also know that
saddam cannot reach us with his missiles. the only threats we have
are from within...and those threats were here last week and last year
and 10 years ago before this latest war began...case in point,
oklahoma city...he was born and raised here and hated his own country
enuf to try and destroy it...if people in thier minds are that
distraught...they are going to do what they do if we can catch them
before it happens great but if we can't then it is a lesson
learned. ok this next part is for you only, those who are not poly
theistic, and do not believe in reincarnation, probably will not
understand.

remember we are all here to learn a lesson, and without everything
that happens we cannot leanr our lesson in order to return to the
world and teach future generations how to better deal with issues.
We have come a long way from the times of the viking and the
crusades. we now give warnings and attempt resolutions prior to
pummeling each other like cave men. We can only live with what is
given to us. and everything given to us is designed as a lesson to
make us stronger. i know the lesson you are being given is a very
hard one, but you will make it though and you will come out
stronger. and what you will learn from this will carry on for many
years to come. i cannot tell you what you need to do but i can tell
you that you can make it though. i know this sounds silly, but my
boss says everyone is a prostitute...you are selling you mind body
and time to the highest bidder...you may not be having sex to get the
money, but you are selling yourself...and ask any hooker on the
avenue and they will tell you...when one john throws you out there is
always another in his place..and each john wants a different trick
and each is willing to pay a different price...in other words...there
will always be another job...it may not be the exact same thing or
for the exact same pay...but it is just a job. i hate my job, but it
pays well and has good benefits....would i rather do something
else...yes...but right now this is what is paying my bills. and if
your husbands thinks HE is not good enuf for you...he probably
isn't...maybe it is time for a change, a new town a new job a new
start and a new man...one who can appreciate who you are...and one
who loves you for who you are. we all know what a great person you
are...someone else out there does too.
