The Golden Girls and Sex and the City share the same character archtypes
Today I went to church and bible study after a very traumatic month of being relocated due to hurricane devastation. I respect the pastor of that church and he has continued to check in on me so I wanted to show him (and Jesus) that I am not an ingrate, nor have I totally forsaken my faith. I am a complicated woman and one thing I'm proud of myself for is the ability to ascertain when I must take my time about who and where I should spend my time. If I feel like it's only going to make me feel worse when I'm already drowning, I take a break.
