today i had an experience where i got swindled, i think. i'm still waiting to hear if this guy will come through or not, but i don't want to keep my hopes up too much longer. luckily it was only for $20. whenever someone is dishonest with me i always feel dirty inside, which is ironic because it wasn't me who should be feeling dirty. it's a feeling that i really don't like because everything around me starts to take a darkish cast and i get mad at everyone and everything. so when i got home tonight i just had to say a little prayer and remind myself of how lucky i am. i'm married and have a wonderful little family, we have a home and have the means to pay for our home, shawn has a job, we both come from incredible loving families, we both have kept ourselves clean and healthy, and on and on... i just had to remind myself of these things when i got home to help me feel clean again and to remind myself that the disappointment and $20 loss doesn't really matter in the long run.reminding myself of my blessings is a great way to help me stay above the smut that can try to pull me down.

So are you going to tell us what happened... How did you get swindled? But I agree with you. I feel the same way. It is also because you were taken advantage of and that hurts. Also it ruins your trust in those around you. Anyways you can always count me as a big blessing;)
I would rather you count me as a petite blessing...:)
Sorry to hear about the $20. I read your blog and love all of the information. I note that my youngest son, Shajan, was born at the Providence hospital in Anchorage. It was a great hospital then and hopefully still is great. Please give my regards to Shawn and congratulations on your wonderful family. Happy Holidays - V. Kent Kay
