We certainly can't do it on our own. The way I handle frustrating things?...I pause, take a deep breath and ask God for patience. I'm praying for you, dear!!!<BR/><BR/>ShemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30247068.post-27347529674095086262007-10-23T18:03:00.000+10:002007-10-23T18:03:00.000+10:00I trully believe that sometimes in your life, you'...I trully believe that sometimes in your life, you've got to be able to say, "What the fuck?!!" and then move on from there.

Just keep saying "This too shall pass." <BR/><BR/>As for your customer service complaint... I actually had better customer service when I lived in Saipan than where I'm living now. That's one area of life that's going down the tubes everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Remember there is something better "Beyond the Sunset."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30247068.post-88048977823135487752007-10-21T01:25:00.000+10:002007-10-21T01:25:00.000+10:00I think you said it very well, Bev.

One of the most challenging things for me was to balance my expectations (all the things I was taught or expected) with the realities of life on a tiny island. While we tell ourselves that we just need to be more understanding and accepting (which btw is absolutely essential), there is also a component of character and ethics that (in my opinion) needs to be put into practice wherever people live. Saipan has its strengths and growth areas as does Texas and anywhere else in the world.<BR/><BR/>I guess it comes down to accepting and appreciating cultural diversity while hanging on to our core values. All this to say, you are a human being and what you're currently experiencing is NORMAL. :)<BR/><BR/>Btw, should I charge your credit card for this "counseling session"? Hahaha.
