Re: That's the truth, if I ever heard it!

My friends, wait till a month from now...say till somewhere after Christmas, and see how you feel about this thread at that time.

Read it again next June or July. Weigh the evidence then.

I remember when I was as green as grass and didn't realize I had best read back and see if others have asked, and been answered, earlier.

Also, I have owned a business. Believe me, there aren't enough hours in a day. I kept an adding machine by my fridge, and could be found balancing books after 3 in the morning.

Too much to do is mind-numbing...and it doesn't help a marriage at all. What it does to one's children is obscene...whether you get paid for your efforts or not.


My store-owning experience caused me to crash, mentally, and I lost my son because someone else lied.

I had never felt such pain.

Adrenal glands fail...and yet I know I didn't work as hard as some I could name.

When R.G. told us he watched all he had built, burn, and wanted to rebuild within a month, for OUR sakes, I could have cried.

On top of that, not everyone accomplishes what they want to, as easily as others.

I remember placing my feet on the pavement, one in front of the other, on my way to do something I had never done before...that no one I knew had done before.

My accountant once told me, "Lady, don't walk in dark alleys."

:)


I made it. Few know that I crashed, and found my way back...alone.

None of us can guess what another is, and has, gone through. All we can do is gently help as best we can, and listen for clues...use our heads.

The more patience, if you can manage it, the better. Tweet
