	<description>Dogs are our link to paradise.  They do not know evil or jealousy or discontent.  To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.  --Milan Kundera</description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lots of challenging thoughts for a Friday morning when all I can think about is the 30&quot; of snow that is in process.  I am fortunate to experience the healing virtues of the FNG and extended FNG female network.  Everyone should be so lucky.  My own 2 cents on things learned goes back to what we learned in school about Maslow&#039;s hierarchy of needs where people attain different levels of personal growth in their life.  The bottom of the pyramid is survival (food, water, shelter) and the top is the ultimate - self actualization.  The way it was taught is that human beings unconsciously strive to the next level and some never make it too far up.  Well I think we go up and down that pyramid depending on what life is throwing at us.  For those who had less stressful paths in life, it seems much easier to get to those top levels.  And for those who have had major hurdles, we wonder why others get there and we cannot.  For me, I have accepted that there are seasons in life where the survival level is a good place to drop down to and just excel at that - the heck with the self actualizers around me.  And draw on my FNG&#039;s to keep me sane and happy just where I am. And support them when they are trying to kick it to the next level or when I am ready. And always keep God in the loop - that comes first.  An appropriate read for the things you articulate is &quot;A Place to Belong&quot; by Lisa Troyer.
