Dear Robin, Once again you have helped me see the light. I cringe in remorse at the recognition of my rotten attitude. I can only hope that Ann is able to undergo a similar change of heart.
The sincerity with which you write to Share here is a beacon illuminating the authenticity of her objective and innocent questions about the reasons for your recent posts. If you will permit me, I hereby offer up a prayer for healing for all of us that I found on the Web (very slightly edited): For all our relationships, all our ancestors and all their relationships through all time, through all our lives, for all hurts and wrongs: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, sexual and financial through thought, word or deed--please help us all forgive each other, forgive ourselves, forgive all people and all people forgive us, completely and totally, no matter what. I think that should handle it. Thank you, Robin. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Robin Carlsen" <maskedzebra@...> wrote: > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@> wrote: > > > > Angels of Yahoo at work. I actually posted this at 8:43 pm Central on > > Tuesday but it didn't show up in my inbox til 3:55 am Central on > > Wednesday. I was expecting and dreading a blizzard of posts about it, > > especially from Judy and Ann who seemed upset by my questions about Robin's > > recent postings. > > Dear Share, > > I think your questions to Judy about why I wrote that analysis of Barry, and > those two responses to Curtis, were valid questions.
