((LadyM)))) i feel a great amount of concern for you and your family... i understand a portion of the stress you are feeling tho i am not there as you are, living it... i agree with the statement that living on, despite or even because of our obstacles, is the best we can do to announce our own will to survive.. my point of view, right or wrong, is that much of the despair and sadness around us today is a furthering of matters that were put into motion years before our own existence... and i hear you that life can be so much more, something else, something entirely different, if we would do as some have suggested, return to the table, commit to peaceful resolutions, accept whatever compromises might be required, learn to co-operate peacefully amongst ourselves to the best of our abilities now, and grow outward from our current places... i know there is disagreements, deep and firm... things we have felt challenged over and felt helpless about... i believe we, as a world, as individuals, as souls can never let evil win./.. sometimes i feel the simple words we use (such as evil or war) put parameters on our abilities to create solutions for ourselves that include all of us as equally concerned and caring members of the entire whole... i understand these words are descriptors and descriptions sometimes limit us if we allow the words to create walls... i know we each are feeling, loving, caring people, with our own values to defend and no one has less right to defense than another... we all matter and this home our Earth has room for all of us.. i am sending prayers for peace for you LadyM, your family, your neighbors on every border, just as you are... the best solution is the one that allows us all survival and growth and love... i am doing all i can to keep track of you and your situation always.... please keep us posted on your state of health as much as you can...

always your friend..
