Lucy: I agree with yin completely, live life to best of yur ability, by worryng about how you are going to die, you will be wasting your present which is still yours, do what you love to do today, laugh more often, volunteering right in your neigbhourhood will also bring same joy you might get by going to Africa.

Mary Jo: I don't know too much about you, but I will tell you one thing we all sre responsible for our actions, I am glad you recognized that and stayed sober, one more thing people are great but they also have opinion about others, you should do what is right for you and Bill, rest of the comments just roll off your back, don't let it get to you, recognize that youknow ehat is best for Bill, and doing best of your capability, people like to pass judgements on others, it is most easy thing to do, the best thing is to ignore ognorans.

Kerry: I used to feel the same way when anybody said that to me, and I think did blog about it, I am going to give Jean's answer which had comforted me for long time, sometimes in situations like ours people don't know what to say, so they say those things, instead of taking negatively think of what they are saying is they sure can't do what you are able to do, I feel all of us have been thrown with some burden in life, it's our attitude which will make tht burden look hard or easy, I sure hope Jean gives you great word of wisdom. Asha

hey Shadow: welcome to blogworld, it's our tight knot family we would love to know your first name, I stroked at 34, and felt I was peak of my career, but at the same token I was ignoring my family life, after stroke I realised hard way that at work they can replace me, but in my family, i will be very hard to replace mom and wife, so I know my purpose, we all are spared for reason, in these whole cosmos we matter, I am glad you don't have too many defiets from job, maybe you would like to consider different job like in health care or in nonprofit organization, where our actions matter in the big picture, I have started volunteering at redcross, and I know for sure that if I pursue it further I might get a job in it, but I like being stay at home mom. Asha

Sherry: you are indeed a SURVIVOR, I still remembred your first blog when you were at your wits end about him leaving you, and look at you now, you passed that hurdle so wonderfully, and doing so much better, and you are so right from every adversity something good does come out, it's just we don't look at that good thing, since we r still nursing ur wounds, I am glad you are doing so god. gift of life is precious thing, and you are here on earth for some purpose so march on.
