Hurt people....Hurt people.  It is somehthing we hear all the time from those who tend to want to make excuses for people who lack the self control to keep their mouths shut.  The sad truth is this is almost always true.  I am not trying to give people a pass but I am learning that almost without exception people who tend to be in the midst of gossip groups and turmoil are themselves really hurting.  The same is true for those who hurt us personally.  

I just can't get over how great all of you have been in the merge, renovation and move to the west side of town.  I know that none of these recent changes have been easy but you have all acted like real troopers.  I have heard minamal complaints and am excited to see the seats filled every week so far.  With Christmas coming I know that it will be easy to get caught up in the business of things looking forward to the big day when we open presents, eat a family meal and prepare for the New Years Holiday.  

I know the word alone is not a very comforting word.  When we think of being alone we often visualize isolation, loneliness and just being bored with life.  In that sense yes being alone is not a very attractive concept.
