Just A Moment To Get Serious

I won't keep these pics on long. But I want us all to take a moment aside to pray for these people. Someone sent this to me. I don't care if you are Christian, Muslim Hindu or what ever. This is terrible. We have our problems. But lets focus outward, at least for a moment and understand what these people have gone through and are going through. And thank God there are people in the world that want to help.

Let us pray..

Our father, who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Amen! It made me think about how minor my problems are in the grand sceme of things. Thank you, Danny for posting. I say we leave it up. Just my two cents.

I have cried for nearly two weeks. Reading the death toll as it got higher. It is a shame. I got all this bs in my life and I cry about the others, not about myself. The US can spend billion in Iraq and only millions to help these people. NO political discussion. I am just heart broken. It seems with every passing hour, another 1000 die. I want to go there. I want to help them. Should I go? I want to.. don't know how to though...I keep crying..


Guys, I think I'm going

Amen.

I seem over emotional, but god, what the hell..I really really want to go and help..I can't leave my kids. My wife has taunted me about getting emotional over this but it is the worst. I mean, I read the death toll by the hour..I can hardly get over it..we all are safe and snug in our homes and there are people that have no food, no water, no medicne. We (the US) are trying to help, but it is not enough. We all have to move faster. The death toll will double because of disease. OK, I'm leaving it up for awhile as a reminder. While we sit in our gas or electic heated homes, and eat a lot of rich food, these people are dying. I feel helpless. Maybe it would do me good to go there

See guys. One thing I need is to focus. I worry about so many things. I'm reading a book called Boundaries. It's really good. Kicks the butt off the Big Book. I worry about my brothers and sisters, I worry about my wife. I worry about my kids. I worry about everyone in the world. The only one I dont worry about is me. Why is that? Can someone please tell me? It's like I'm out of control. I worry all the time about everyone. No one worries about me and I certainly don't. No pity party here. What the heck is going on? Why can't I get it together? I spend too much time on people I love and I can't even love myself. I'm cool though..I just have to noddle this out

To me, it is very humbling. Danny, I know the feeling of wanting to care for everyone. Give yourself credit for all the caring that you do give, but do not leave yourself out. I'm not far enough along in recovery to even be giving advice, I just wanted to let you know that you deserve to receive care and love just as we all do.

PS I shall have to read that book you mentioned. I'm still waiting for my recovery book from B&N to get here. So much for paying for express shipping.

Danny,

Ok......here's what my counselor would say........You were not taught to love yourself. Your mom was drunk and not being the mom she should have been to you. She spent more time needing you and your love than she did on loving and nurturing you.She didn't teach you how to love yourself. You grew up believing your job was to help everybody else and put yourself last.

It's time to get over it and love Danny first. I know that is so hard to do. Old habits die hard.

Love yourself today, we do.

P.S. Before it is over, the US will contribute far more than any other county. Wonder how much Kuwait, the 2nd richest country in the world, has sent.

Amy- I would take care of a little kitten before me. I gave the dog a "stay of execution". I could not handle it. I had to sign a contract on the dog..haha..hey, I usually never like these self help books but Boundaries is great. My daughter gave it to me. It's about when to say NO. When to say ENOUGH. I've only gone about 30 pages in but is has held my interest, unlike Dr. Phil. She also gave me this awesome tape. It was about relationships. I played it and went nuts (in a good way). She is only 19 but so wise. Actually, my ex-father in law, who I still love, dropped them off at the house. He is so cool. He looks like Donald Trump. But he runs an AA program here in Chicago. He is the s***. I love the guy. He is so wise. If he wasn't so close, I would love for him to be my sponsor. He's too invloved though. He wants me to call him. I am afraid. He's as much of a Dad to me as my real Dad. Probably more.

Wow, what a reality check. Things really could be alot worse. Thanyk you Danny for making me count my blessings. Amen
