What I am not, is putting my needs ahead of everyone else's. That only works for me if you're lying in a hospital bed.

My help has come from prayer. There is no man out there who can do my work for me. It is mine to do. I rarely accept help from other people and usually resent it when they think I can't do it myself (with a few exceptions, like changing a tire and cutting the grass, being allergic to grass).

You had a father who was considerate. There are many men out there who are as well, you just have to look for them. Some of the most inconsiderate people I know are those pushing for equality of the sexes. Well, we're not equal. Plain and simple. We were made for different purposes, just as some of us have talents different than others.

The trick is to find God's place for you in the order of things, be happy there and not make everyone else miserable along the way. Something I learned by being made miserable by unhappy people.

Am I making you miserable by my whining? Maybe that is God's purpose for me. To whine until someone will listen and it will turn on some lights in their soul rather than their turning off lights in mine by their coldness and indifference.
