AND your health. Its not easy to be spiritual etc when you have levels of pain that are unbearable....<BR/><BR/><BR/>but people are - <BR/><BR/>I know the feeling you write about...as if you are still looking for something - I used to be like that. No longer. In the last 15 years of Don and my life together, it all fell away and I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be and doing what I was meant to be doing...now I am still doing that...not skiting it was very hard work but oh the reward of the risks we took he holds my heart and I hold his if that makes sense.Middle Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962830669606760640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899193538457209754.post-7023051269337391022008-10-15T22:14:00.000+11:002008-10-15T22:14:00.000+11:00I'm no philosophical genius!

We do accept things that even a few decades ago would have abhorred us and it's sad.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958330170295676200noreply@blogger.com
