I apologize if my post made you feel unwelcome. That was not its intent.
The intent was to show that there are two sides to the issue of immigration and
that my feelings vacillate between both extremes as do many peoples. It was intended to make others
think about how they view these same subjects. Thus - my statement that
I am at war with myself.
It is not about bashing any one particular group of people. It
is more about searching for an answer to a question to which there are
no easy answers - and exploring some of the emotions and the teachings that are ingrained in us make it a
question to which there are no easy answers.
As for people, I
take ALL PEOPLE for what THEY are worth as individuals. There are no races,
creeds or ethnic backgrounds that I take exception to - ALL are welcome
and I call all friend and value them for what they are AND what they are not as
long as they are honest and respect me for what I am and am not. Again - denigrating anyone was NOT at all what I - or my post - is/was all about. I have posted more or less the same apology on my own space as well: Please take care, Beth
I'm glad you'll still be visiting! I have read 'The Red Tent' and loved it. I still have the copy somewhere. Maybe if I locate it, we could do that. Or i'll think of another one that would be good. Settling in has slowed down for various reasons, but I continue to hope that one day......
I'm sorry you feel the need to do this, but understand. It sounds likeblogging has not been a totally positive expereince for you, plus with school, etc....
im going to miss you. but i understand being busy. i struggle with that ttoo, and im not even doing reasearch. thanks for the nice words about me now im really going to miss you!
thanks for informing me about wikipedia. dern! thats disappointing. i thought they were better than that. i took them off my search options. sigh. i have sited them so often, now i feel duped.
oh well ...
maybe we will see you again sometime. but if not, im glad to have made your aquaintance.
Thanks for letting all know you are leaving. Many leave without saying farewell. I liked your post about the play therapy. Also, yeah, why would anyone cite wikipedia? Maybe find a link there to something better, but cite it?
Hi Caroline. I just saw you had visited. I have not been very active on my space lately. It's summer here you know, I have been trying not to repeat last summers mistake of spending all my waking hours exclusively on the computer. I'm sorry to hear you are thinking of signing off from your space completely. You know can still have a space without a blog,... (see themes in customize) I don't know if that defeats your purpose of wanting to do something else with your time aside from the space, but I am just trying to be helpful. I know first hand how both working your own space as well as visiting others' spaces can be extremely time consuming. I wish the best in what ever you are working out. "Trust your knows" is something I have learned. You know where you are at with the space thing, so follow your heart, it will always tell you the right thing for you. God Bless It! Have A Wonderful Week!
I wish I could help you with the battleship dilemma. The boys had that game and all I remember is it's a game of strategy. I hope you find someone who can help.
I really appreciate the loving thoughtful comments you have recently left on my space. I love and appreciate all those who are supportive and nonjudgemental. Our choices in life are very important and can have beneficial or detrimentable consequences in our lives. As I have gotten older I have realized how important this is and try to be more responsible, pragmatic, and less self absorbed. There's to much at stake and to many people relying on me.
Just got home yesterday. The river was really start to rise again as we were headed north. So many people have really been devastated by the flooding.... Right now the only thing causing problems for the river traffic on the Mississippi is the high water. The had to close down some of the locks coming down the upper Mississippi due to flooding.
I don't have a laptop so there's no way I can keep in touch when I'm on the boat. We do have a computer on the boat we can use but our Captain keeps it open to the boats emails all day so we can't get on line. Hopefully one day I will own one and then I'll be able to stay in touch while on the boat....
