I'm more convinced of it now than I ever was before. It is a true tragedy when someone opts out of life before it's hardly begun. They don't have enough personal history behind them to know that it gets better. They never even had a chance to know their own strengths. People need hope, always. <BR/><BR/>I've been in that place, all through my 30's I felt I never measured up to all the demands that were placed on me. I felt I'd never be the person I wanted to be. I felt that my entire life was made up of making sure everybody else had one. <BR/><BR/>There were several times I felt that it wasn't worth it to stay here. Only God knew what I was going through and only He was able to sustain me through it all.<BR/><BR/>I didn't know then what I know now. There are still joys to be had, there are still surprises in my future. I don't have to be perfect to be acceptable - even to myself. <BR/><BR/>Life is worth it. Stay awhile longer, see what the next day brings...and yes, hug the kids, and tell them, because they don't know it yet.<BR/><BR/>I love you, Katie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345181.post-18753471346876487312009-01-14T17:57:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:57:00.000-05:00Nice post K, always good to wonder about the "why'...Nice post K, always good to wonder about the "why's" in the world. <BR/><BR/>I guess that's just the psychologist side of me coming out (gotta dust off my degree once in a while)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
