Dear Pat and all, Thank you for that lovely e-mail. I know what you mean about being near your family. My poor hubby works out of town, and when the news came in, all he wanted to do was get home. I too have been attacking things around the house. I did it without really thinking about it. I fixed a little box that had broken that was special treasure of my grandmothers and finished a doll. Then I cleaned the house and played with my son. I need to feel that I can put something back together, and that I can control something even if it is only dirt.
Kathy M. Going out now to put up my flag!

I am filled with sadness & anger, but not fear, because of the recent terrorists attacks...as I'm sure you are. No I didn't get to go on my trip as the airlines aren't flying, but I really don't care ...I want to be surrounded by family & friends as some will never be, thanks to a few people who have managed to cause terror & heartbreak not only to our nation but the whole world. My DIL , Theresa, subscribes to a neat household hint site called the Flylady.net. In the past few days she has given us these hints on how to get thru these days. I myself, released much anger today as I weeded the heck out of my yard & flower beds. Take that ! I said to some unknown enemy as I tore the hateful weed out by it's roots...I did this until I exhausted myself...but I kicked butt, if only on the weeds. Pat H.
the following , from the Flylady, is directed toward women & is long but all may find some help in it. The last part is about prayer..if that offends you , just skip that that part.
