And, from the comments, so glad you too read Sean. <BR/><BR/>Soldier or normal folk, no matter how old we get, a REAL piece of mail, a REAL letter from someone, ANYONE is a real joy. Real postal mail is so rare anymore.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to your group for the happiness you are bringing so many.Malinda777https://www.blogger.com/profile/08228981460138143575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1144127854925641132006-04-04T00:17:00.000-05:002006-04-04T00:17:00.000-05:00I also wrote a book...a children's book...maybe I ...I also wrote a book...a children's book...maybe I should consider seriously having it published..<BR/><BR/>I wonder if I have loved enough...Lady Prismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333352060797182573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1144069504686099432006-04-03T08:05:00.000-05:002006-04-03T08:05:00.000-05:00Prism,Because of my husbands job I have given up a...Prism,<BR/>Because of my husbands job I have given up a bunch of things I used to do, mostly because he is working all of the time and someone has got to take care of the kids with their full attention. I'm also trying to get a book (childrens) published this year and I wanted to focus on that too. My kids are not as big as yours, but it won't be long, and I am wondering-as you are- what can I do to make a difference in this world? <BR/><BR/>You know, when all is said and done, at the end of our lives I do not think we will regret the time we spent loving the people around us. It won't matter how many books I've written, or how few of them were published, rather...how much did I love my kids, and family/friends, and the people who crossed my path? And that includes people we meet out here in the blog world. Who did I touch, who did I encourage...who did I love with a pure heart? <BR/> <BR/>Who we love and how we love is what makes a difference in the world. It is not an easy task, but as a friend recently told me...the things not easily gotten are the things most sought after.<BR/><BR/>Yes...I'd say you and I are both seeking an elusive prize Prism! Lives full of love and meaning :)Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1144050987119060002006-04-03T02:56:00.000-05:002006-04-03T02:56:00.000-05:00i resigned from my job...and now...i'm thinking......i resigned from my job...and now...i'm thinking...what else can i do aside from post bloggy stuff....i used to be part of a ministry ( 10 years)...but about 3 years ago...my hubz and i dropped out...<BR/><BR/>sometimes i wonder...is what i'm doing making sense at all...can i do something more...something real...do i even have the talent to?...<BR/><BR/>there was a time that i believed God uses me to expand his kingdom...now i don't know anymore...<BR/><BR/>i know how you feel with what you do...i used to feel that way too...<BR/><BR/>now...i don't know...i'm very busy...but...Lady Prismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333352060797182573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1144027036523950382006-04-02T20:17:00.000-05:002006-04-02T20:17:00.000-05:00Sean, your thanks is more than enough, and more th...Sean, your thanks is more than enough, and more than I looked for.<BR/>I never wrote to anyone with the idea that they would write back...heck, you guys are fighting a war! And I know in my heart that the letters mean something. It's a good feeling to know that you touched someone out there in the world who doesn't need to say thank you--because really, I was thanking them.<BR/>Sean, if you have someone in mind that could use a letter...you know where to send the address :) And if you decide to have a drive of sorts to get items to the soliders...let us know. There are quite a few of us out here who would like to help...I find that most of us are just looking for the connection.<BR/><BR/>Doc-t...my friend from childhood wrote back to me, and he has since come home. I haven't seen him, but I was thrilled to know he was back with his wife and kids..And there is another group of people who don't get all the support I'd like to see them get, the moms and children. <BR/>I would write all day, everyday, if I could! :) Got to cook and clean at some point! -Cora :)Mayden' s Voyagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169575773884459343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-1144005893930507402006-04-02T14:24:00.000-05:002006-04-02T14:24:00.000-05:00can't tell you how much those letters mean. the p...can't tell you how much those letters mean. the part that hurts me is watching when the kids don't write back. for christmas i set up a program so alot of the guys here got extra packages. i had to go to friends and family and ask for help, and some of those folks have sent emails asking if so-and-so got the packages and how they were doing. i want to strangle some of these guys for not taking a few minutes to write back, especially when i saw the joy in their faces when they got the packages and cards and letters. anyways, for all those people out there who take part in programs like this, know that just because we don't always show it, doesn't mean that we weren't really, really appreciative of all your efforts.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237205381714209114noreply@blogger.com
