I am running out of reasons to hope right now.

[KitchenWitch]

Yes, I am depressed.

I am worried about everyone on the Gulf Coast.

I am worried about the police raids in the Twin Cities. The barrage of Rethugs on MY state (Minnesota is my home...although I reside in CA) is sullying my beautiful Minnesota.

I am worried about the death grip that the fundies and evangelicals have on our government.

I hate feeling this way.

2. Now don't you do that.

I've got enough on my plate - I don't need to be worrying about you worrying about me. :hug:

You just have to hold on to hope and believe things will work out - wherever G goes it's going to go. We need positive energies and hope and faith and prayers and white light (I wish I had some white lightening about now too.)

You are tired and your heart so big, being down about all of this is understandable. Go ahead and let it out. I may need you next week so you take this weekend, mkay.

:loveya: :hug:

3. Hey, merh!

I confess, I'm worried too.

I hope and pray that you will be safe. :hug: :loveya:

[merh]

5. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried.

I've walked into each room of my house and just looked around and said to myself "I don't want to go." Hell, I just got here, I was just beginning to feel normal again.

Just keep those good energies coming this way (more to Louisiana, they look like they will take the worst of it) and say some prayers, chants some chants, emit some vibes.

thanks for the concern and prayers :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Well, I am definitely sending out prayers to all in the path of Gustav.

I just can't help but think of what a nightmare it was for you after Katrina and Rita, I guess because you are my friend.

:hug:

[merh]

16. We'll get by with a little help from our friends

thanks sweetie, thank you so very much :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

17. And I will do it again, if I need to.

I hope the need won't be there, though.

[bluesbassman]

4. Good on you merh!

Thanks for your inspiring attitude. You definitly have my positive energy, hope, faith, and prayers going out to you right now. :hug:

KW, you're strong and you know it. This is just a season, and it too shall pass. We've been through tough times before, and we've survived. You hang in there.:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

8. I will, I guess I am just feeling the weight of it all.

I tend to take a lot on emotionally.

:hug:

[merh]

9. lol, got to keep the chin up, especially if those waters start to rise

I'm just trying to live up to my sig - weather well and all that. Which reminds me, I need to pack my hair coloring that stuff is hard to come after the winds blows and the poopoo flies. thanks for the reminder

and thanks for the prayers and thoughts and hugs. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

7. I have the candle lit - it will remain lit for the next while or so.

I will be here for you.

I will be here when we get the White House back this November.

I am just feeling a bit weary.

[merh]

15. And I do so appreciate the candle and your love

I know you are always there and I am so very grateful and blessed that you are. :hug:

Go watch Obama's speech, go read this thread and be inspired and realize the energies are changing, things are on the upswing, we are the change we have been looking for.

You go ahead be weary and let us cradle you - you carry us with your humor and your grace, we will carry you for awhile, just let it out and just rest.

:loveya:

6. Please remember

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it - Always." ~Gandhi~

[KitchenWitch]

10. thank you for this.

:hug:

[Lil Missy]

11. I'm sorry, KW. All I can do is offer a hug.

:hug:

I have close family in the Twin Cities area. They are spending next week out of town, for fear of protecting their children. That is pretty fucking sad, to think a freeper presence might cause a riot or danger to them or their children.

I also have family on the Gulf Coast, and they are strategically vacationing with my uncle on the East Coast. I just hope they have a home to go back to.

[KitchenWitch]

13. I have to keep believing that everything will be okay.

My son is in the Twins...17 years old...and a peacenik. Question Authority and all that. I am really not liking what I am reading about police raids without warrants, etc.

It is going to be okay, it is going to be okay, it is going to be okay.

[Lil Missy]

20. It will be okay. I promise.

:)

[Breeze54]

14. So... um... what's your plan to solve it all?

:shrug:

What?! No plan? No way to make it all stop?

Get some sleep!! :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

18. LOL

Sometimes I think I am more of a Goddess than I am!

:rofl:

[Breeze54]

19. LOL... You are a Goddess and so am I but

we have limited powers. ;)

We can't solve all the world's problems.

Just our own, if we're lucky.

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

21. But would it be too much to ask to have one day of Omnipotence?

;)

[Breeze54]

22. OK... I'll lend you my Magic Eight Ball !

Question: But would it be too much to ask to have one day of Omnipotence?

[KitchenWitch]

23. OMG

:rofl:

That is a riot!

[Breeze54]

24. Good!! Yeah!!

I'm glad you like my magic 8 Ball and are laughing!! :P :rofl:

Now go to bed and get some rest!! :D

:hug:

See ya tomorrow! :hi:

[grasswire]

25. Did you read Michael Moore's letter to God tonight?

That might make you laugh. It kinds of puts things in perspective tonight.

[Haole Girl]

26. Question..

Do you ever go to Pelican Point, and walk at sunset, like I suggested? Long walks on the beach helped me immensely in times of trouble. I miss it, can you tell?

Hang in there & turn off the news for a little while! ;-)

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

27. I have.

I think a sunset walk there will be on tomorrow's agenda (K does not start school until Thursday).
