Yes..many many times :)

Yes. Fortunately, I crossed paths with spiritually minded people and studied quite a bit of inspired writing that helped guide me to a healthier perspective on life. I'll always treasure 2 booklets that were given to me at the beginning of my search for answers: "At The Feet of the Master" http://www.atthefeetofthemaster.com/preface.html "As A Man Thinketh" http://jamesallen.wwwhubs.com/think.htm These two booklets form the core of a spiritual perspective I've carried for 25 years.

There was a time in my life when that was very profound for me. It actually led THROUGH all those unpleasantries and not TO them. What it led me TO was a deeper faith and more pervading peace.

Yeah (sighs). I've had a spiritual void since Mom died. Haven't been to any religious services since her funeral.

I think it happens to most of us sometime. Mine occurred during a year when it seemed I was losing everyone I loved most all at once. Their being elderly was little consolation. I was also having financial problems and everything seemed so uncertain. That is when family and friends are often at their best...and mine were.

No..never. I have never felt despair. Either I'm very lucky or very oblivious to the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". I've always been a cup half full kinda gal..I've always wanted what I had and been grateful for my life. No room for hopelessness or despair when you are optimistic, positive and grateful! :) ((hugs))
