I ty not to get too depressed, but it does have that effect. I wonder if we can really be any help, if not for today, but for the future. We can only hope so!<br />xx Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023473462815457423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-71347236707424237782012-10-03T23:43:00.354-03:002012-10-03T23:43:00.354-03:00Honest post from the heart.

On the down days I too look at the less fortunate and find solace in knowing I am blessed with what I do have!! <br /><br />Watched the trailer but missed the documentary, darn it! I hope it repeats like pbs often does! I just watched a movie the other day about trafficking women "The Whistleblower" with Vanessa Redgrave. I've seen a few movies on this subject however this one is even more intense and scary to know just how infiltrated it is!! Vanessa seems to play in many movies with compelling dimension.<br /><br />Deep post, thanks for sharing your intimate self once again!! Wishing you love, laughter, and abundance!!<br /><br />Big hugs Giggles <br /><br />Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-75893722974752710812012-10-03T19:07:40.964-03:002012-10-03T19:07:40.964-03:00Such a nice post.

I have been feeling blah, blah, blah and feeling sorry for myself lately. Even after my lovely hike with my dog. Now reading this I am really reminded that the things I let bother me can never outweigh how unbeleivable blessed I am. Thanks for the lovely post and helping me keep things in perspective!<br />Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106293166506132834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-72382558244375481872012-10-03T18:10:17.666-03:002012-10-03T18:10:17.666-03:00Pauline - you are so wise, my friend, your words t...Pauline - you are so wise, my friend, your words touched my heart. xoxoLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706538594501508647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-42068166729759534522012-10-03T17:55:18.689-03:002012-10-03T17:55:18.689-03:00The ocean does have a kind of wisdom to it, doesn&...The ocean does have a kind of wisdom to it, doesn't it? You are so blessed to be able to walk to it any time you like. :) <br /><br />I learned recently that it is okay to have a crummy day, to embrace the crumminess of it. We aren't supposed to be happy all of the time. That would be kind of weird.

Quite a spectacularly low point. I went to the beach too.<br /><br />I read about that documentary but don't have PBS - I don't think we'll get to see it here for a while. I've been thinking about it though. <br /><br />Jeez I must be tireder than I thought, I can barely string a sentence together.
