Small world heh?<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear your 2nd marriage did not work out. I can't offer any words of wisdom on that. Marriage works great for some but not so good for others. I've been married longer than you've been alive. It hasn't always been easy. I am happy with it now but if I was your age and had it to do over, I'd recommend against it.<BR/><BR/>I know it's hard. I divorced my 1st wife after 9 years. Try to look on the bright side. It's a new beginning in your life.<BR/><BR/>I think you will find that teaching is a very rewarding thing to do in terms of the soul. It's never been very rewarding financially but if all you work for is money, you'll never be happy.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year,<BR/><BR/>JoeAssrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093506505019819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-27057250857497850982008-12-27T02:32:00.000-05:002008-12-27T02:32:00.000-05:00John - I hope you are richly blessed in the coming...John - I hope you are richly blessed in the coming year.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-23555031518145336262008-12-26T01:11:00.000-05:002008-12-26T01:11:00.000-05:00Those kids are so lucky to have you.
