Down Again - Is he done yet?

[BeingMe]

I ditto what everyone else says .... take care of you. I have been in work situations similar to yours ... try not to let people like that get to you. It's hard, I know, but as Snodderly says, use whatever resources you have in your workplace to vent, and take notes of behavior, so that you don't forget when/if you need to report him/her to some labor relations office.

As for your sister, she is just being mean and petty. Just tell her to f/off. Sisters often fight, and she probably doesn't mean exactly what she said. Although, I don't know the dynamics of your family. My family is always feuding. My sister and two of my brothers aren't talking right now, for instance. And I won't even talk about my cousins. Ugh!

As your name says, you have a destiny and a purpose on this earth. You need to remain here until it is fulfilled, then and only then, will Heavenly Father take you back home. What that destiny is, who knows (maybe you know, if so, then you're lucky, 'cause I don't know mine)?

I have been in that dark place too, but slowly I started crawling out, and am finding the hope, and interest in life again. It is an adventure, not to be left just before the hero finds the treasure.

Take care.

[BeingMe]

To extend on the hero metaphor ... be the hero in your life.

Has anyone heard from her TODAY?

Please, dear god, give her the strenght to pull through.
Be her guide and warm her heart with your love and protection.
Shield her from harm and be her shepherd.
Amen.

I have not heard from her today. I had thought about calling, but didn't want to disturb her or have her husband raise questions about my calling her. She has my name and number to call me...

[BeingMe]

Amen, ETB.
