attitude adjustment

I feel the need to unburden myself.  Earlier today I was having a darn good pity party for myself.  I am almost 39 years old and I am wondering what the hell I have done with my life.  I look at other women my age, and they have careers, beauty, nice clothes, a perfect home, perfect friends---and I got into the no-no thing to do of comparison and envy.

  I was sharing my feelings of not measuring up, worthlessness and general self-loathing with J, and he said these words that I feel came straight from up above.  He told me that our job here on Earth is not to accumulate things, it is to make a difference in someone's life.  Each encounter with someone should be thought of as a conversation/experience to know the Holy One better.  Even if you help one single person in your Earthly life, if it is what the Holy One designed you for --- be glad and rejoice.

Praise and Glory to you!
