Hey, I ran across some of your stuff a couple years back on the web. Loved it, but it was an archive - you weren't continuing to update. Being swamped with my own hard times, just moved on. (sorry, don't remember the name of it - just your last name stuck with me.) Today, I found your site (through a link from Jumbo Jokes - go Randy!) So, just looking around and found this. I loved it. I hope things are better for you now, but since your latest post is about job-hunting, I'm assuming it's still rough. But I'm living proof that people can get through the tough times - and you are so right - it's the love of family and God that gets us through. I spent hours rocking my babies not because they needed it but because I did. Anyway, just wanted to give you some positive feedback. Hang in there - I love your work! (Unfortunately, I don't run a publishing company!)

No matter bad you think you have it, there is always someone who has it worse than you.

Especially if you like in a 'developed' nation like the US or one of the Western European countries. There is a safety net, so if you are unemployed, your kids won't starve to death. And when you look at the absolute poverty some folks endure in some parts of the globe, where people (and their kids) die from lack of good nutrition and basic medical care...

Yeah, I may be a bit poor, but at least I have somewhere to live, and food on the table. Might not be lobster, but at least I'm not starving.

This is why our species hasn't died out: these peaceful feelings that come from a little quality time with our favorite peoples.

For me, it's that friend i can count on to always tell me what i 'NEED' to hear, not what i want to hear.

and a moment's peace on a warm summers night, whilst the stars are in full view.

and getting to talk to the person i love most, for even just a couple hours a day, before i have to sleep, and he has to work. those few blissful hours make my whole day worthwhile.
