Your Dad said a very profound thing. I have been dealing with divorce for about a month now and all I know is tomorrow. Is tomorrow the day she comes back to me. Is tomorrow the day I am finally over her, or is tomorrow the day that I finally look forward to tomorrow. .-= Shane´s last blog ..New Begining: Day 29 =-.

The way I see it hell is the absence of hope. As long as you have hope you are not truly in hell.

You’re not a Cathy Never stop searching for your desires. It makes life worth it. You can’t have true pleasure without at least a little pain.
Good luck girl. You have a cheerleader here in Atlanta.

My mother, an odd duck at best, used to tell us as her version of ‘comfort’ that we shouldn’t worry about what we couldn’t have because, eventually, we would no longer want it. I was raised, and learned well, to defer pleasure. Now I find that it is the absence of desire that I resent the most about growing old — I want to desperately want things again, and I surely wish I had given myself the gift of trying harder to get the things I thought would make me happy. So my advice, for what it’s worth, is this: don’t give up, but don’t sit and wait, either. Get out, take chances, make mistakes until you find what you are missing. I am sure that having been ‘this close’ to heaven and missing out is hard, but not making any effort to get there and missing out might be harder still.

Agreed. But remember, even if its hell now, the hope and possibility are there to ease things just a little. Someday you can have that heaven again. .-= Dani´s last blog ..How to take the sap and hallmark out of valentine's day so you can actually have a good time... =-.
