Love This Comeback

Love This Comeback One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will." The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly a nd clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid." Everyone within hearing distance cheered! IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all your proud American friends.

How do you know?

There are a couple people in my life, that no matter what I do, or how much I love them, it just doesn't seem to be enough. I try to always be there, that doesn't work. I try to step back and let them....be. Maybe I love them to much. So much that I just don't see the things I need to. The signs that would tell me. I don't want to lose either of them!!! I can not handle the pain my heart can not release. They have been through so much. I try to be understanding and tolerant to their situations. (So absolutely different, by the way). I know they need a friend like me. To be there for them & help them to heal, & deal with all these things they don't understand. Help find answers and the strength, I know they have with in. I don't know if I am strong enough. I get so drained, confused, I start to doubt myself. I worry so much, so often, for them. I make myself sick. How can I help? It hurts so much that I can not make their pain go away. Though I did not cause this pain, I sometimes feel responsible for some of it. This is a constant battle within my heart. Do I continue to be there, or do I walk away? I don't easily give up on people. It is really hard for me, What if they need someone, & I have gone? Then they are alone..... How do you know when to let go? How do you let go? I will continue to love them ALWAYS!!! Maybe I will try to love them from a distance... If I can...... I don't want to....

Feeling sorry for myself

It absolutely amazes me, that someone can be so all about you, then, just not.... How the hell is that possible? Family, friends, and (for a lack of a better way to say it) prospects. I get so drained by USERS. I have such a honest and caring heart, people take advantage of me all the time. Tomorrow is my birthday. All these people who have called themselves my friends....... Not a one of them has asked me what I am doing for my birthday, or offered/invited me any where. Don't get me wrong, I really don't expect anyone to, but no phone call, or even an email. I am just tired of being there for people who will not be there for me. Ok maybe I should get off my pitty pot now..........
