Glad I had a program to take with me and use cause other wise I would still be in tantrums. Was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people who had no power to do anything except to point in other directions at other people in office. I have to go knock on the doors of others, some of whom I have already spoken to in the past who have the same attitude and powerlessness as these guys did. So I have made the promise to continue on to some doors they suggested including to the State House and Senate. Bleah!!
Thanks for the prayers and support...I was a real Al-Anon Gentleman...promise (((((Hugs)))))
Thanks for the update Jerry. Dealing with a bureaucracy is certainly a challenge. Glad that you used your alanon principles and stayed as detached as you needed.
Onward!!!!
Jerry - it's so true - dealing with government is political, challenging and frustrating.....I believe, just as we are taught that you've planted seeds. You will continue to plant seeds. What grows (or not) from those seeds is in the hands of others, including HP. I am reminded recently that I am one among many and I can only carry the message I'm given. A huge part of me really wants to carry more and do more yet I know, for me, that's going backwards to control, frustration, domination, etc. You are an inspiration and I am certain your message was awesome!!
(((Hugs)))
