Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	This one will make you think: http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com/stories/job-rethinking.html I should have mentioned it when we had the women form Beyond the Corner Office in here.

The woman all alone on her birthday was poorer than the poorest factory-worker woman. The factory worker had all the special "riches" of family and friends celebrating her birthday while the rich woman had nothing.

And so easy to understand all those feelings of being different, envying others, etc. I think all women can relate. It just goes to show that the "poorest of the poor" can have much wealth and posessions. But the one posession they may lack is true love. And the lonliest soul on earth can be anyone. St. Augustine said "Our souls are restless until they rest in Thee" Someone else once said that our hearts have a God shaped hole in them that only He can fill.
