You ...First, I'm glad to see another post from you. You are such a prolific poster. I was worried when you didn't put anything up for a few days.<BR/><BR/>Second, knowing your own self-worth is useful. The old bromide about having to love yourself before you can truly love someone else? Very true. However, having that self-love can be useful as a buffer against life's inevitable disappointments.<BR/><BR/>Third, we all love you. I can't speak with certainty for the rest of the folks here, but you know damn well I love me, so (as regards #2 above) um, well, uh... we all love you. <BR/><BR/>Fourth, see #3, but omit the obvious disfunction.<BR/><BR/>Fidfth, is spelled wrong.<BR/><BR/>Fifth, when spelled right, is the exact amount of whiskey you should keep on hand in case 1 through 4 don't do it for you.<BR/><BR/>Sixth, I don't know what in hell I'm talking about, but the sheer volume of words I'm putting out here should be enough to tell you that I truly care, and I wish you happiness. OK? OK.<BR/><BR/>Seventh - Prayer said for you. Coming from a reprobate like me, it may not work. However, add it to the pile of words and take it for what it's worth.<BR/><BR/>Eighth - Put an "F" in front of it. Works wonders.<BR/><BR/>Ninth - I've gone on for far too long, so now I'll quit.<BR/><BR/>Tenth - Bye!Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-4546296520333901172008-07-25T12:37:00.000-04:002008-07-25T12:37:00.000-04:00Even with the people that we love the most and hop...Even with the people that we love the most and hope wouldn't hurt us, there are still times that happens. But then again, love at the same time, as much as it may hurt, does really heal all wounds.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been around much but think of you often and wonder how you are doing. I am trying my best to get caught up here and HOPE that I don't let my blog lap into another two months before I post again.

I think the things that sound the easiest are really the hardest to do... you know like love your neighbour and all that.<BR/><BR/>Though I *personally* find it's easier to take a slight against myself than my children, or see my kids involved in those interpersonal clashes. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.com
