I want to turn everything into my pain and what I went through. But like you said, I too am making the effort to not be so self involved. I am going to be present to help others through there sufferings.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071927168876473000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857127480909271511.post-6033504386324550022010-10-19T17:55:24.108-05:002010-10-19T17:55:24.108-05:00You aren't the only one!

I hope that you were able to gracefully take your foot out...I know that is such an awful and guilty feeling!

I guess where we go astray is that we see it everywhere, and it always involves us. Don't worry, we all fall prey to that. But remember, we ARE called to see it, your experience opened your eyes on purpose to speak your heart and story and love others who hurt as well...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683239109034382788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857127480909271511.post-83625067291282805562010-10-19T11:22:04.119-05:002010-10-19T11:22:04.119-05:00I'm getting to the point now where it doesn...I'm getting to the point now where it doesn't revolve like it used to but it's still a big presence in my life.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857127480909271511.post-39328405875615590202010-10-19T08:41:28.900-05:002010-10-19T08:41:28.900-05:00I love your honesty, and no it's not just you....I love your honesty, and no it's not just you. I feel like my world revolves around my grief and when I'm not careful I can get in selfish mode... so horrible! I don't want it to define me either. Thanks for putting this out there Jennifer. <br /><br />God is good to remind us of his promises of help, isn't he?Franchescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362049658761399255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857127480909271511.post-89344093696609609412010-10-19T08:09:52.417-05:002010-10-19T08:09:52.417-05:00Yeah, I've found myself evaulating a lot of th...Yeah, I've found myself evaulating a lot of the things that I say to people and having to remind myself that life is a matter of perspective. What's happened to us, although tragic, maybe wouldn't be anything compared to someone else's tragedy in their own opinion. Gosh, I hope that makes sense!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695243793883254621noreply@blogger.com
