Feelings About The Fourth Now!
Rereading my entry Please I guess I forgot about all the good things this life has brought me. In fact I feel a little guilty about the whole thing. But the response from that and the Evil One’s post really set me to thinking again.
Reading Eric’s post about his life right now brought this to mind: Eric you have really shown the initiative to turn a difficult situation into a victory. I commend you on studying successfully for a new career while being a parent at the same time. Just thinking of your progress makes me smile. I am certainly pulling for you.
Gwen, you are so right. It is US we can celebrate. Every step forward in our lives. Every new discovery to make life a little easier for those around us is a cause to celebrate. I too will watch the fireworks and think of you and others like you who know how to help.
Dwr--hear me smile? Dear heart I giggled out loud. Thank you and come back anytime to visit.
GreekMom I sure haven’t done everything right, but the support of people around me helps make it worth trying. Thank you for your very kind words.
Oh Solonor, with each post I read I find myself happier than even the minute before. How could one not be?
OB, at my age I seem to look back a lot. Yes we have come a long way forward. Believe me every laugh that comes my way I try to pass along because it doesn’t cost a penny and it makes me feel like a million.
Decrepit--The button has popped out as you can see. Thank you for sharing the moment about the something in your eyes--I have that moment right now!
Guido, I can feel the air and the sun on my face. It sounds like a beautiful place to sit with you and enjoy. But seeing as I can’t, please know that I am smiling now as I share your thought.
Rob--It helped. It worked so well that it squeezed the tears right out of me. I really needed that.
Tish, my heart goes out to you because your pet is family--I know. My condolences to Pandora. May she find comfort in knowing her friend no longer suffers. I’ll take a few minutes tonight and look for your beauty to make it mine also.
Deadscot. My Aunt passed away a couple of years ago leaving me the oldest in the family. When I try to remember the important things I feel very inadequate, like I’m slipping in the information department. But you are right. The fireworks still bring back happy memories from the past 60 some years, and who is to say that these aren’t the important things to remember? These are the things I need to talk about. Thank you for making me stop and ‘smell the roses.’
Brock, your post said what has been tearing at my heart and mind for weeks. It will stand in its entirety on this blog. My thanks for helping me with the words to explain my thoughts.
So tomorrow Jay and I will be heading to Wes and Deb’s house with chocolate cake and potato salad in hand. I hear the Evil One and crew will be there too. Cindy, as always, has to work, but she will be there in mind with us.
Do be safe the next couple of days because the world and I can’t give you up just yet.
