I've been away for a few days and just read Doug's message about giving to charity...

There are so many tragic stories out there, about people fighting for their lives, losing children, and struggling to get by through horrible situations.

I know some of us in the "Breakups & Divorce" community are struggling with more than the betrayal of someone whom we thought we could trust, and would be with forever, but at least I have my health (knock on wood), my family members are relatively healthy and happy. Living in Canada means we have the health care we need when we need it (don't get me started) and don't have to sell our home to get treatment for a loved one.

It puts things in perspective for me. I may have been dumped by a mean cold-hearted ass, but I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and I will hopefully have many years left that I can hate my x and moan about what he has done to our family.

Let's all cherish our health, give thanks for what we do have, and pray for those who are going through struggles.

Ta...
