It’s times like this when we seriously reconsider our lives … how we live … where we are going … what do we really want from it all.

For myself, I’ve put out a lot of resumes … have a Masters Degree … and the only people who have expressed any interest are WalMart. Getting older sucks when it comes to employment. I’m building a tadpole trike while I re-consider.

Wish you all the best …

I was missing reading about you tonight, checked and still find only your message in a bottle which has reached my heart twice now. Though you don’t know me, know I will pray you recover. I wish I could get out there w/hammer or brush or whatever you need. Please small house community, come through for this very nice person.

I dropped by your site to ask if it was OK for me to put your site as a reference on mine, from the time you & your friends wrote an article about me. Sorry to read of your unhappiness and yes, life in the 21st century is pretty difficult to manage with juggling around too many things. I have been living in a mess for over 2 years whilst building works go on. It is one of the most stressful things to happen to people and is very testing. I hope your beautiful cat brings you some comfort. Take care! Judith

No need to apologize. Life can certainly get in the way of regular updates and I’m sure most everyone knows and understands.

I’m so sorry to hear about your difficulties. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry.

I don’t have the eloquence, but I am sure you can imagine all the folks sending you their best thoughts and deep caring and hoping things will turn a corner soon as hell – and even all that sometimes can’t penetrate the pain & overwhelmingness of it all right now.

Take care and please accept what loving help is offered to you. Life is going to be exactly what it is, and you’ll be turning around and returning heartfelt favors with love, in time. Again, I am so damn sorry.

Hey Steph, I’m sorry that you’ve been having so much difficulty. I understand completely and know how important it is to have a support system around you when dealing with so much loss. It sounds like Larry was a true Mensch. If you head home via the Bay area, you and Rumi are more than welcome to bunk here for a few days.

Wow. They say this stuff comes in threes, so maybe you’re done for a while. Sending way wizzy cool grooviness right at you, and I hope all works out, your chin lifts up, and you keep moving forward. I understand not having a support group, and like you, I got my first somewhat negative review at work this summer. I mean to say you aren’t alone, and I know and feel your pain since my separation and move to be done soon. I know you can do it, and all will be well soon. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Sometimes.
