Finally Fryday...
Does anyone remember the war in Iraq and the innocent people dying there? I don't see much about that on the news anymore. Does anyone remember La Conchita mudslide and the victims who still have not received money or shelter from our government? Let us not forget.
I didn't do anything all day and haven't answered the phone...I am trying hard to refocus. I am feeling a little better but still not the way I should be feeling. J from Louisiana sent me a email and J is staying with friends in Virginia now, still not knowing if their house survived Hurricane Katrina. The mailbox is usually just a place to find bills, catalogs and magazines, but today I found a nice long letter from MP in Australia also inside the envelope were some family photos. I immersed myself in M's letter and it made me smile.

"Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the real.
Oh, God. lead us from the darkness to the light.
Shanti--Shanti--Shanti
May all things be a source of peace to us
And may thy peace itself, bestow peace on all
And may that peace come to us also"
(Hindu prayer. The word *shanti* means peace)
