"i'm i the depths of dispair," bemoaned Anne...and Marilla replied, "to despair is to turn one's back on God..."  (loosely paraphrased)

i was reminded this week that even when life isn't going as i wish, there are ALWAYS those who have a worse life or worse circumstances.  i don't have a major illness, i'm not in Iraq, i have a home, i am blessed.   That was a good reminder, because even though i have three major areas of my life in turmoil at the same time, it could be worse.  (i'm glad it's not though.)  Thank you, M, for the reminder.

i've said it before, but i want to say it again, i have some of the best people as my friends and loved ones....thank you all.
