This time last year<\/a> )<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A year ago, I would have been wishing for better times.. maybe a year or so further back. And now? I try to not wish for the past. I don’t think doing so is healthy. I, in some respects.. am anticipating my future…. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ever notice, how you can be struggling with something… and someone else will be going through the same thing<\/u> as you. Just in a different situation with different people? I don’t know how to describe it. With some people.. it has happened in multiple times. I feel better connected to those people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This doesn’t seem to be the best week – for anyone! Brandy is still sick, others just not having a good week.. and the list goes on. Pray for one of my friends (that I’ve known for a few years now…) who just found out that their mom has lung cancer.<\/p>\n

After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, ‘No hablo ingles.’ – Ronnie Shakes<\/p>\n

Pray Hard<\/p>\n
