Most people would not say that Ms Pringle is a spiritual person (outwardly) as it is a private piece of my life although my life work is very much driven by my faith/ my higher power. For me personally being raised in a strict Catholic family, attended Catholic school and made my sacraments faithfully, I hold dear my upbringing for balance. Today with our economy in such distress, especially the corner of the world in which we live, I find myself pulling from my faith more each day. Families forced to let go of their homes/dream and moving, others doing the unthinkable to hold on. Mothers giving their children to others for financial reasons, simply; people hurting all around us. My personal shortfall of being co dependant is at it's highest test in keeping my balance. Friends making bad choices, placing their lives and families lives in jeopardy, another calls crying all in one afternoon. How does one get so far from their balance to be in such a place. I often wonder how sheltered I am in my own world with my children as my focus. My days focused on the loving smiles I get to view on their little faces each day. I focus on what I have, not what I do not have.
I pray today for all my friends and neighbors to find strength within themselves to pull faith in their lives.
I loved the words across television this morning about our country and the need for greed ruining our country. I didn't think anyone would ever put their mouth where our country is. About six or seven years ago when Nemours clinic left our area is when I vocalized disheartening in our economy. That the Doctors who could save my children's lives could not stay in my area because they couldn't afford the rate of liability insurance to balance their budgets....yet "ER" was the hot television show and the actors made more money than all the specialists put together to save my children's lives... How can that be? What were we thinking?
