So, um, you've 340 links to yours but us little pee-wees only have about 30 or 40, depending how many "friends" on MyBloggers we have!
How the heck did you get 340 friends?
I personally don't think this guy was suicided/murdered. I think he was "hosed" by the media and coupled with the trauma of all that he was experiencing, it was more than he could stand.
My heart goes out to him, deeply.
Dots, this was an excellent post and your comment, "Anytime you are working harder than the person you are trying to help, you are enabling them.", REALLY hit home for me!
I am the type of person that sacrifices my needs for others without even thinking about it. I am a true Pisces, ones whose motto is "to serve or suffer".
Your statement about working harder also includes thinking harder and putting more energy and focus into it than the other person which is something I do over, and over again. I'm beginning to recognize that in myself but this statement that you made is a huge eye opener for me, like an instant epiphany that sheds light on my entire life.
And the part about it being easier this time for you to walk away, I suspect is a product of the emotional traumas you've had to get passed and as you are getting past them, you're realizing so many different things about life and people and emotions and about how strong you really are. I am amazed at how strong you are...much more so than myself.
Thanks for the enlightenment!
I like this.
Hey, you're scaring me. Where are you? YPiR
Pills? I think they're smoking their own dung! YPiR
lol - I like how the employees under GS/9 (whatever the heck that is) get to research and uncover acts of further wrong doing of their previous superiors! haha! Good one! YPiR
Ha! Classic! Great post, James!
You said it!
Beautiful. Based on the scenery, it appears it is somewhere is the great lakes region, Wisconsin, or Mid-Northern Michigan. And all of those places are GREAT!!!
