I feel just the same way! <BR/>I am a non believer, so dont have any gods to point my way, but I believe exactly the same things you do, & feel exactly the same about what matter, what counts, & how important people are over everything else. <BR/>Do keep your values, & try to keep smiling.<BR/>I am lucky, now we have retired we can choose who to spend time meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-49546732216041026052007-05-31T04:04:00.000+01:002007-05-31T04:04:00.000+01:00Oh, everyone else has said it so well that I echo ...Oh, everyone else has said it so well that I echo their opinions. It's hard to have the 2 opposite opinions/ways of doing things in one building - I know! Stay true to yourself and what you know to be good and right and honouring to Him who watches over all.

I can say that as your 26 year old daughter! <BR/><BR/>Its simply about passion and purpose. When your passion (work, teaching, goals) become your purpose, you're sunk. If you're using your passions to serve a HIGHER purpose, you'll have something to show at the end of it all.

I look at these young people, trying to climb the corporate ladder and not caring who they hurt, etc. It IS sad and I want no part of it. I'm lucky that I can stay at home, in my own little world:-) I know, though, that if I did have to go out to work, I'd be happy with what I have. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-46855064372667943272007-05-31T01:00:00.000+01:002007-05-31T01:00:00.000+01:00Hi Linds,What a wonderfully well-written post this...Hi Linds,<BR/>What a wonderfully well-written post this was! <BR/>I can tell you are a woman defined by so many things other than your work. <BR/>Hope that soon "Mum's smile" is happening all the time!!<BR/>hugs!!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024132046092264711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-57874937734041749902007-05-31T00:56:00.000+01:002007-05-31T00:56:00.000+01:00If you could see and hear it I would stand and giv...If you could see and hear it I would stand and give you a standing ovation for this well written piece. I SO hear what you are saying. I experience the same thing. It is so nice to finally be comfortable in our own skin and to know beyond a shadow of a doubt who we are. I do think part of it is age, but not entirely. It is truly the work of the Holy Spirit conforming us into what He desires Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15437418.post-65683788070234210772007-05-31T00:49:00.000+01:002007-05-31T00:49:00.000+01:00Brilliant Linds!!!

I think the really sad part is that some day that realization will dawn on them and they will regret all the wasted years. All of those "things" can so quickly be taken from you - it is the relationships that really matter. You did such a great job of expressing what so many of us feel. I don't think I would do Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.com
