EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.<br />Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.<br />Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com <br />Call or Whats-app him: +2347012841542<br /><br />Tucker Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803726052277720550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-16673274329899678182020-06-13T11:01:06.611-04:002020-06-13T11:01:06.611-04:00I loved this post.

Your excellent post reminded me of Eric...Tom --<br /><br /> Your excellent post reminded me of Eric Ericson's theory of psychosocial development(I taught psychology for many years). The 8th and last stage of this lifespan theory is called Ego Integrity vs. Despair. The idea is that if we think that we have done a pretty good job with our lives (even with some real regrets),there is a sense of closure and completeness. However, if we see our lives as unproductive and feel guilty about our past, we become dissatisfied with life and develop despair. The process is kind of a life review and supposedly happens after age 65.<br /> Your comments raised some of the issues a person naturally thinks about in his/her later years. Thanks for asking many questions for us to reflect upon as we are in the 8th stage.Pat S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14934735128630811098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-80919541577173874482020-06-04T14:45:16.636-04:002020-06-04T14:45:16.636-04:00Enjoyed this post, Tom.

We were married at 22 and ad it turns out, it was one of our good choices. <br /><br />What I have learned mainly is that our lives are created by our choices... and also that to "agree to disagree" works well.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-27497086420132688812020-06-04T12:45:52.990-04:002020-06-04T12:45:52.990-04:00So sorry to read about your foot and knee hurting ...So sorry to read about your foot and knee hurting from previous injuries.

I'm so grateful for the opportunities to grow and develop, to broaden my thinking and find a sense of peace that seemed elusive when I was younger.

We do tend to see the past through the lenses of our own perception. I always have to chuckle when I hear people talking about the "good old days" as though that was better than now. We forget that even if we had it pretty good that LOTS of others didn't. While things sure seemed "simpler" when we were kids (and there were for most of us) that doesn't mean our parents weren't struggling with the social and psychological limitations of their times in some of the same ways we do. And yes to that idea that we thought we'd live forever and what we were aiming for when we were young is likely far different today. So good to keep it all in perspective huh?
