Hello LJ
Is your name LJ or does it stand for something?

Not fair. *sticks out tongue* haha.

I'm doing good.
I hope you're okay as well.
I know that you've been going through some tough times lately.
I'm here for you.always.

Hi LJ!!

I hope you're having a dandy day.

I agree!! It would be very nice indeed to be able to change the past - or at least some of the past. But then maybe everything we have gone through is 'there' for a reason. Maybe all of our past experiences - as difficult as some of those experiences have been - are part of something much bigger. My past - for instance - has made it possible for me to be able to help people - to understand how they are feeling and to truly feel compassion for those who are struggling with life. I grew up surrounded by VERY self-centered people who truly didn't care about anyone except themselves. [And they probably didn't care all that much about themselves either] I remember as a very young boy praying that I would NOT end up like THEM!! And I haven't. But maybe I had to go through all of that 'muck' for that prayer to be answered. Maybe I had to suffer in order for me to shine!! [If that makes any sense] I wanted to be 'better than' those I grew up with - and I am. And I can say that because I DO care about other people and I DO try to be thoughtful and considerate. I have often had conversations with people who I envied because they had a rather easy life. They were never bullied or picked on. Their mom or dad weren't abusive. They were good at sports and popular at school. [And so on] But far more often than not - they were also very shallow. Oh sure - most of them were 'nice' to talk to - but there wasn't anything more to them that what you could see. And I think the reason for that is that until a person is 'tested' by something in life - they never really GROW. Until a person is FORCED to question things - like what's REALLY right and REALLY wrong - they never have any reason to become reflective and thoughtful. If you have a conversation with someone who seems really nice and caring - you can almost bet that they have suffered in some way - at sometime in their life. That said - I think it's important to appreciate where we ARE and focus more on where we want to BE than on where we have BEEN.

GREAT BIG HUG
Craig!!
