Raph...I don't believe that hope kills....maybe wounds us sometimes when we lean on it too much. I guess instead of hoping...we should just go for it and let the chips fall where they may. Great write once again. hugs, Chris  |

Raph In the words of Dale Carnegie on his theories on fear and hope: 1. imagine the worst case scenario 2. prepare to expect the worst 3. proceed with a plan I do try to live by this motto But yes, never do seem to learn our lesson, do we? this is like stillwater . . . xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (07-30-2003 12:48 PM).] |

Remember what Nancy Reagan said about "hope" "Just say, NO!" Uh...wasn't that it? Wait a minute I'll remember...what were we talking about? |

powerful write...guess its 'what' you hope in that is the poison...sigh...I have learned to not hope unless I can't be let down, and the only thing I have found that won't let me down is God....*soft smile* |
