ah. its a privelege to be hugged by you. you are unique. what makes me feel a little bad is that you share so much happiness and nicities, and we dont reciprocate enough. we as in CHers. you know Ms. Mariposita, you cant hold it all inside. I still want to know what made u what u are.
Or else we wouldn't have orphans.. May be it's time to give home to one who lost it?
You know, I always wanted to adopt till I had my second one. Now I am not sure if I will be able to love someone who is not a part of me physically and do justice to adoption.
But when I think of how a few of them would end up in their lives, I can any day give them a respectable life...
We do what we think is best given the circumstances. No point in worrying about things we have no control. having said that, I must say you are in a "suicide zone" of mudslides, fires, drive by shootings, EQuakes, and eQuakes. We only have to worry about one thing - tornados.
I know.. but I wouldn't to want to move anywhere in US.
Recently we had the fire so close to home that I could watch it from my balcony. But I wasn't much worried since I worked closer to fire and evacuation would begin from me.
why is it we think of our situation first ..when we witness a tragedy in another part of the world !!
or of our mortality when we read about someone else's death ? we are so self centered ......
I wish I could be an aid worker, and be of help somehow, help with the kids, help the women, but its not even easy to get a volunteer position of this kind!!!! (Only in the Congo or Uganda!) I turned that one down :S.
Life itself so uncertain. one cannot outsmart nature.
Story time: God appeared before a man and told he will die on such and such a date. Close to the date, the country got into war and our man was terrified of God's statement and ran away to another country. While he was close to the destination in the other country, he lost control and fell off the horse and died.
Disappointed he asked God he left the place and still died, God told him that was how he was meant to die.
So..forget all that and wear that Black saree with gold border enjoy your party....showing off your tatoo.....;)
Sigh* If I shed tears for any tragedy that is not mine for more than a day, my life will be a tragedy it self. That is sometimes so selfish. You know, a few people can eat for a week in Myanmar on what I will be spending on that temp tattoo. But then, there are others who would spend my whole paycheck buying shoes for the dress that cost my annual salary.
We do ... we always do... anything is else will be plain lying and playing lip service.
Bush condoled the 20 people who died in the midwest tornados - from Waco while continnuing with his marriage celeb. When the Burma's military gives a damn for its people and the neighboring countries look the other way and even the mighty US is kept at bay the rest of us can do nothing but move on.
That is life. We move on even with our own losses... only it takes a little longer. Haven't you heard about marriages conducted soon after a close relative's death ?
Sure, that is important...
But, how about adults?
How about being kind/give hugs to the adults in our life and people we interact with every day in the real or virtual worlds?

thats how we e-hug.
I learn something new every day:)

*Seriously as precious as children are...we sometimes do not seem to "value" adults as much as we should, and appreciate them as well!
