		<description><![CDATA[I like the new format.. and the fairness in your analysis. I,personally believe that it&#039;s when we let go of the need for justice.. that it is most readily found.. or is it that I&#039;m just no longer paying attention to it so I don&#039;t notice how long it takes...? Either way.. it has it&#039;s own time and measurements to which I do not pretend to have knowledge. Hope your Mother&#039;s Day was filled with love and gratitude for life breathe and rides to everywhere. XOXO]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am so sorry that you are hurting.....You almost single handedly kept me going at times when I was going through hell figuring out I was an RSG, divorcing my dysfunctional ex- husband and starting a new life with a woman ...without my family of origin in my life anymore. I can&#039;t thank you enough and I wish there was something I could do for you when you are hurting so much. My thoughts are with you. I can promise you, pain and grief does end eventually. As Churchill said, &quot;When you are going through hell.....keep going&quot;. You can do it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we love people... like really really truly love them.. we understand that the whole of their being isn&#039;t summed up by a handful of actions or even the actions of one really fucked up year (which we&#039;ve all had). It&#039;s why we tell our children we love them but not their actions at times. 

Something has flipped in that one.. and at some point she will balance out realizing that even if she wasn&#039;t &quot;where she was supposed to be&quot; she should have been more sensitive and respectful to the one that affords her that and always has. ... being the bigger person.. is some stupid ass shit sometimes... but it is the right thing to do. 

The other right thing to do.. is to focus on you. Not her, or her... or him.. or them.... but you. What do YOU need right now that doesn&#039;t involve anyone else or their bullshit. An hour spent cooking for just you and the kids... the way you used to before you worried about everything... (I know those and miss them as well). Whatever comes to mind (aside from harming others lol)... do it. Give yourself the love you had planned on giving someone else. 

And try to forgive others for their lapses in judgement and consideration... for as much as they should.. they have nothing to do with you,.. it&#039;s about something they are missing inside of themselves. 

&lt;3 and all that other good shit. ; }]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A sorcerer lived amongst them; and every fortnight cast her net to capture souls...The strong and loyal slipped easily through the net of deceit and gleefully returned home; the most unscrupulous tangled indubitably between the web and would never be released; but the mostly chaste landed crassly into the nefarious folds and waited for the apocalyptic charlatan to claim her transient prize.

Kathryn I know you are hurting now; but take some time to proudly celebrate your gleefulness...

		<description><![CDATA[Life is not fair Kathryn. My Dad hurt my Mom for over 30 years........and with more than 1 woman. One of them being our next door neighbor and my confirmation sponsor when I was 12. The next was a woman down the street who was friends with my parents....my Mom wallpapered her kitchen for her. My Mother became an alcoholic and thankfully went to rehab but she never got over it and never forgave him. It was part of my childhood. People are so hurtful. It&#039;s selfish and cruel. They think only of themselves. Love and hugs to you and your girls.]]></description>
