i know how u feel. my husband also has many gifts, he is so respected by every one in this town. every one loves him, they make his laugh and invite him over but...no one comes 2 see me or give me respect of any kind. i feel so un-equal 2 him and i hate that. we use to laugh and had so much in common but now that i am always so sick with this illness in my mind, plus my body limitates me to doing very little due to unimanigable pain. i can't work unless i get lucky on side jobs here and there, such as the one i have now however it is grueling work and i can barely take the pain. but i so want 2 please him just as you feel with your husband, however i can't compare 2 him.

i know that we are not suppose to compare ourselves to others, we are to just be who we are and try to find a way to call some thing.....our gift. i do have a gift, in fact i have many however, when i give that gift to others they never pay me for it. ( i am a photographer). i have done weddings charging a fraction of what a professional does and my photo's are just as good. long story there...not going into it.

sweetie, i am sure you must have some thing, no gift is to small so if you can remember what i said to u about that and use it in any way u can. u are here, maybe u can help some one with kind words making their day brighter, making them smile etc. u may not realize it at the time, but i am sure u have helped many people here so....there is a gift within u.

i can't comment on finances for u, i am in that titanic myself. not all gifts come with a paycheck.

i don't know u, and u don't know me however, i send loving thoughts your way and i pray that TODAY....u will discover at least "one" gift that is worthy of yourself and for just today i pray you can try not to compare yourself to your significant other. i will do the same with u.

i hope that helps even if is only a tiny bit.
