Billygoat,
I hope your feeling better today. I've enjoyed reading this thread too, so I thank you for it.
The 9/11 tradegy was a terrible terrible terrible and very sad thing to watch. My heart goes out to all the victims.
When terrible things like that happen, it makes us realize that we never know how long we'll be here for. All the victims never realized that that day would be their last day to live. I don't mean to say anything that will get everyone down, but that is so true. So I have made a vow to make some changes for the better in my life, along with making a hard decision. Because I never know if I'll be here much longer or not.
I consider my blessings to be that I got out of the JW cult before I had children and raised them in it. And that I had to wonderful kids ( ok..fine...so they weren't ALWAYS wonderful ) who turned out to be 2 wonderful adults.
I most certainly was blessed in these ways.
peace,
somebody
