only a few who recognize it's worth and treat it accordingly.
that is so true, and so sad too, I want to wallop my sis when she mistreats my sweet BIL.
You seem to have so many fun things on your plate hon --I also volunteer and love it! it takes the focus off me. I remember the first day I volunteered was the very first afternoon that I didnt' think of stbx/D-crap for 4hrs in a row.
A while ago I ached to have someone because I just so wanted to give my love to someone, have someone whom I can show how much I can give, that yearning hurt. Let me recommend some great books babes (hey! join a reading club, that you'd just *have* to read )
Become a better you - Joel Osteen (subscribe to his daily emails, they are the best!)
Battlefield of the mind - Joyce Meyer
Healed without scars - : David G. Evans (I'm reading this right now, it is awesome so far!)
Steps to Christ - Ellen G. White
And the self-pity mode will come and go hon, it's ok to feel sad sometimes, just know you are not defeated. I'm on a "high" right now, I know that at some point my rock bottom phase will come, during those times I make sure I call one of my gf and whine a bit even cry for a while and I feel much better afterwards.
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
