I love you all, and thank you so much for all of your support! I won't mention names, as I feel that would not be what they wanted, but you know who you are, and know I love you much!

So, the Lights Are On,Nobody Home - in case some of you don't do text speak! I am learning, a novice at what apparently is a potentially lucrative thing- some 14 yo won $50K just lately! Wow - I would truly have nothing better to do to get so good I could text the Gettysburg Address in textspeak - shoot, I don't even know all of it in English! Maybe I should look it up though, just to remind myself of the struggles and freedoms we have here. What spoiled,whiney ppl so many of us are! I know I am- even with the problems we have, the water we drink is clean,we have a brick house to live in, and while we don't own it, we are holding on! I have so much more than so many others in the world - on a global perspective, we are rich- even our tiny house is extravagant in size compared to middle class, or I guess I should say working class in Europe, and unimaginable in Darfur and many other places I have been to and worked in. I have worked in refugee camps, made visits to people in cardboard houses from refrigerator and other appliance boxes. I myself have lived through poorer times, and even I complain now of silly things - the price of gasoline, for one, or the cost of organic blackberries fgs! What am I tinking? People are dying in countries around the world, their yearly income is what I have im my wallet right now, and it isn't much.

So today, take the spirit of Hawk to yourself - allow ypurself to see the bigger picture and give something you deem precious away to a person who has less - you will be amazed at what will come back to you for your effort.

A daughter update for those of you who are interested - she says she feels better and less "fuzzy", so that is good I guess. The Order of Protection was FINALLY filed - I have no ideas on what took her so long, but her husband is exmilitary, so perhaps that will serve to have him follow the order - I hope so. She remainsin their apartment - will not go to a shelter- so be it, we will see what happens when the landlord and power company come calling - I can't help her out, and don't want anyone else to either. This time she does it on her own.Please do send her your heart and courage to overcome and triumph.

Blessings, Star )O(
