In my mind, it could become totally a folk tale of canadiana.

The lack of appreciation frommy man I understand as given, since I get much peaceful joy in my work instead. You cannot get everything in this world: gratitude and joy from your loved ones for you is a bit much to ask for apparently.

Nonetheless, I am more than happy with my work and my loved ones, for whom I am, allof them, grateful to no end. I keep thanking Buddha for my husband's company with so manypets as I abhorre living alone. Too bad he is harsh though.
