God is not the bellhop in the sky!<BR/><BR/>I have written a post which talks about the way we sabotage our own happiness.<BR/><BR/>Thought it would interest you! Be safe on your trip.<BR/><BR/>http://www.personal-growth-with-corinne-edwards.com/dont-worry-be-happy/<BR/><BR/>Corinne EdwardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-89626480082696331412007-08-30T07:59:00.000+01:002007-08-30T07:59:00.000+01:00GILL comments on yesterday's blog:HiI don't know i...GILL comments on yesterday's blog:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hi<BR/><BR/>I don't know if your current technology will let you put this on the blog, but thought I would try.<BR/><BR/>While I too, am saddened and grieved by the awful fires I do feel your blog lacks a certain perspective [sorry].<BR/><BR/>The majority of these fires seem to have been set by arsonists [several arrests have already been made], this is because there is legislation about the development of wooded land. No woods? No problem.<BR/><BR/>On the matter of rushing to help, it seems to me that the UK may just be a bit short of fire fighting helicopters as wildfires are not a feature of our climate. We have an unmatched record of rushing to help in international crises [think of the Tsunami], and the instant response of the British public in collecting money for all natural disasters.<BR/><BR/>The comment about Bush just made me very cross.<BR/><BR/>None of this diminishes my sadness about the loss of people [63 according to the British press] or beautiful landscapes.<BR/><BR/>You may like to know that I had the following conversation at Kos airport on my way home:<BR/><BR/>Security Man: "Ah! The English at last, the Germans have gone home"<BR/><BR/>Me: "Do you like the English better?" (Imagining he meant orderly queues!)<BR/><BR/>Security Man: "Oh yes! The Germans killed us, the English helped us."<BR/><BR/>Me: "Oh!" (Deeply embarrassed at such a long memory.)<BR/><BR/>I think this may sustain longer than the fact we don't have firefighting helicopters........<BR/><BR/>GillBrian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.com
