So far, I have to say Honolulu, HI. I lived there for 5 months, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. A country girl fell in love with a city.
Me too. I sent him an email. If I get a response, I'll let you know. I also told him you started a thread asking about him...just so he'd know that people are thinking about him.
Dam*ed straight! Conservative hippy, darling...conservative hippy. Short hair, shave the pits and legs, but wear crystals, torn jeans and Birkenstocks. Grow herbs, practice Natural Medicine, own a gun and vote republican. Just try to put me into a pigeonhole, JP!
Crying might not bring him back, but grieving is healthy for you, and natural. Grieve as long as you need, dear. Cry when you need to, and don't let anyone make you feel guilty, or any other negative feeling, for it.
Yes, I think I'm interesting...but I think people in general are interesting, too. Life is interesting. I am constantly learning, trying, and doing new things...that keeps me and life interesting.
I wouldn't leave my country for love. Right now, I wouldn't leave my house, my city, or my state for it. Not because I'm cynical, but because my children are still growing and I've put a lot into this house to make it what I want...and I'm not ready to give it up for anything or anyone.
In the future, who knows? I've learned to "never say never"...that's exactly when the Universe decides to bite me in the @$$ and make me regret it and eat my words.
Yes, I believe we're all here for a reason. Life on this planet and in this Universe is a great tapestry, and we see only our strands and the strands close to us...only the Weaver can see the whole.
I'm also of the belief that we choose to come into being in human form with a lesson plan for our soul, and a soul group that supports us...that soul group is who become your dearest and closest family members and friends. But all are here to grow our souls, ultimately.
Don't despair, Anna. I know that we all have days like this (and weeks and months, even years for some of us)...and this, too, shall pass. If things aren't going the way you like them to, sometimes that's one of your lessons...and when it's learned, things change again.
You're a beautiful and wise woman, and have touched many people on here, I know that.
Yes...this is the kind of love I want again in my life. But I am smart enough to know that I was blessed enough to have it once...some never have it at all.
I can't climb a step ladder, but when I wanted to get my Tibetan prayer flags hung on the porch last weekend, I discovered that my sons couldn't go above the second step of the big ladder...so guess who climbed up and hung them? Then climbed up to fix the first one when it wasn't hanging right...then climbed up again to fix one of the flags that was curled around the string? Yep. I could climb higher than my sons.
And we're talking a ladder that was overlooking the 4-ft drop from the porch, so 3 steps up it was pretty high up for me.
Kudos to you...I couldn't possibly do the dangle off the building thing.
RE: Do Bhuddists have life insurance ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
It's their religious beliefs...they lead a cleaner life and don't get sick like we do because of their philosophies. JMO from the ones I've met.
