I am normally really tied up on the weekends but when a friend is down, I want to know.<BR/><BR/>I know how you feel about nuclear weapons because I feel EXACTLY the same way. Things are going to happen regardless of what we do or say. The main thing is to hold your loved ones just a little bit closer and stay strong. We will get things right again. I am sure of it. When I get down about these things, I blog. I don't normally spit it out like you do because people around here would have me hung. But I feel you completely.<BR/><BR/>As for the Buddhist Path to Peace, that is beautiful. I love the teachings of Buddhism. That is something you could really focus on right now. Love and Compassion for all. I normally feel so lifted when I read stuff from The Dalai Lama. Great stuff. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear about your MIL. That is scary stuff but you have to live for today and just make sure that everyone you love, knows it.<BR/><BR/>*hugs*Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204364995075643954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552607.post-1159143552654145442006-09-24T17:19:00.000-07:002006-09-24T17:19:00.000-07:00elizabeth - thank you for coming over from dara's....elizabeth - thank you for coming over from dara's. and thank you for letting me know i'm not the only one. i was just talking with a friend and it just feels like there is something in the ether right now. but you're right. doing the "lalalallaa i am not listening to jeffrey" thing isn't the answer. i wish i had the exact answer.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086813075189443906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552607.post-1159133974156892512006-09-24T14:39:00.000-07:002006-09-24T14:39:00.000-07:00kristen, i'm here from michele today.... just got ...kristen, i'm here from michele today.... just got done reading dara's blog.<BR/><BR/>anyway, your post totally got me in the gut. i completely identify with how you're feeling about what's going on in the world. i've always been like that. on 9-11 of this year, i felt absolutely sick after i saw bush's speech. he left so many things unsaid and my mind was reeling. shortly before that i read an article on 'peak oil'... all about how we're running out of oil. it's heavy stuff. and i can't get it out of my mind.<BR/><BR/>so i can identify with you. sometimes i just want to hide under a rock, stick my fingers in my ears and shout "i can't hear you!". but that's not the answer, is it?<BR/><BR/>great post.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09422662919185724327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552607.post-1159132746286801482006-09-24T14:19:00.000-07:002006-09-24T14:19:00.000-07:00Here yesterday to read but didn't post (thank you ...Here yesterday to read but didn't post (thank you for such a sweet post!) - here today from Michele's!MsThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549409687537066330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552607.post-1159050262074686502006-09-23T15:24:00.000-07:002006-09-23T15:24:00.000-07:00oldoldoldlady of the hills -- i certainly understa...oldoldoldlady of the hills -- i certainly understand what you mean - there are so many people i'd like to honor with a brick. that damn money thing...*smile*Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086813075189443906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552607.post-1159046064028929982006-09-23T14:14:00.000-07:002006-09-23T14:14:00.000-07:00Sorry my dear..that should read KRISTEN....my fing...Sorry my dear..that should read KRISTEN....my finger slipped over to the J.

I only know her from the internet blogging family but I admire her very very much...I don't know that I can donate right now, but perhaps in the future...it's a matter of priorities right now, you know? But if money was no object, I woud buy a brick, immediately.<BR/><BR/>Here from Michele today, Jristen.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.com
