The journey through life sometimes takes a differnt road than we have planned, but this is my journey and my trials along the way. I am not perfect, but I try to live my life and not sweat the small stuff.

Where is everyone from?
I have installed a flag counter to my blog just out of curiosity on who drops by to visit... :) Where are you from? I see a few different countries....Leave me a comment. I would love to learn more.
:) I see that. Isn't if strange how when you ran, you "ran" to the west.....When I "ran", I ran to the east?? LOL I am just a few minutes from Saudi.......Sometimes I still find it hard to believe I am here..
My communication with you brings food for thought. I had a woman who calls herself (Saudi Woman) first interact with me on FB quite negatively. She called me everything under the sun because we lived different lives and had different beliefs.
Then she found me on Blogspot, and I Kid you not, sent me about 20 harassing emails and messages in a 24 hour period. Then went and wrote terrible things about me both on her on blog and an interview that was done with me...
All because we were different...
Yet, here I am interacting quite civilly with you though we are different.
That is too bad. I will never understand for the life of me why people feel the need to get on their soap box and judge others. I think that they are obviously living comfortably in their "buble" and unable to cope with anything that is even remotly different than thier own world. I face the same issues with some people from the States when I decided to change my life and move here. For some reason, they think what they do is the only right path in life. It's sad really when you think about it. I truly believe that if we stop focusing on what our diffences are and start understanding eachother and see what we have in common, we could grow so much as people.
***There, I will get off my soap box now...*** lol
Well, I'm in Madinah, been here for the past year and a bit. However, I'm really British, married to an American, so we lived in Pennsylvania for 7 years before this. I also lived in Bahrain for 16 years until 2002 when I got married. It's a small world, very small!
Life is too short to be hateful. Just because you disagree with something, doesn't make it wrong. I welcome your comments but please refrain from being hateful. :)

I totally Agree. Why the mad rush to hate???and even worse to show the world that they are haters and unable to think outside the box.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, Glad to have you as a friend!
