    What a great post, you hit the nail right on the head with this one. As a recovering control freak who tried to control everyone and everything around me, I can tell you that you've hit on the ONLY thing we have any control over...out attitude. For me, when I focus on whats positive in my life the positive increases. I try every day to count my blessings. Just so you know, we made the move to NE just fine and are getting settled in. Our thanks go out to you and all our family at the Wesleyan Church for all you did to make our time in Hayward such an uplifting time. We love you all and miss you lots.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
