I think Scott would have the same wisdom and outlook and no matter. It's just who he is.
Phillipa I know you have been hurt, and so have I. But now I CHOOOSE not to let those things bother me anymore. We have to. We are responsible for how we react to what others say to us. Every once in a while I get upset or have a pity fest over something that was said to me, but for the most part I choose not to. I use my energy for more important things. Don't dwell on that crap, move forward. I'll try to continue to do the same.

> Not only is it beautiful but you are blessed to have your family and significant other so supportive of you. My children on the other hand tend to use me and live their own lives. My ex-husband once said[he is alchoholic and probably bi-polar] that I would be a lonely old woman. I think he was right. My son once said when I'm really old and I asked directions he would guide me to a pier so I'd fall into the water. He wasn't kidding. I wanted my kids to be independant because my mother was sick my whole life and noone was ever there for me or to teach me anything. I swore I'd be different. No yelling, make own beds, wash own clothes, etc. I wanted them to be able to take care of themselves. I think I went overboard. Fondly, Phillipa
