Not very much new here Mood
Monday, August 4, 2008 | A General Update story

Hi everybody,

I'm only posting because I've been so derelect in my journaling lately.

There's just nothing new to report here.

 

I think of you all every day.

I'm going up to my sister's house Thursday and staying until Monday. It will be nice to see her.

 

It's been really hot here, but it seems that it's been hot everywhere, so I'm in good company.

 

I used to post all the time. I used to write poems and give everybody a day to day update and I know I don't do that anymore. It's not you, it's me.

 

I hope I get to the point where I want to write again and share my life more, but I kind of have a sadness now that I didn't have before. Maybe the personal changes that have happened here have affected my activity level.

 

I never meant to make enemies here, but sometimes I think I have.

I've had opinions and I have voiced them. Seems I've done a sloppy job at it.

Now, if I see things happening here that don't really pertain to me or those closest to me, I think it's best if I leave it alone. It's tempting sometimes to get involved in certain issues, but it can also be damaging to the entire community.  No one wants that.

It's a lesson I've had to learn the hard way.

 

I don't have it in for anybody. I'm too tired and don't feel well enough to fight.

I think for awhile, I lost sight of why I came here to begin with.

 

Anyway, I wish everybody who is in pain whether it's physical or otherwise, a peaceful, pain free day.

And I hope something positive comes to you.

 

We've all been down a long hard road and some good times are in order.

 

Thank you to my friends for bearing with me. You have saved my life in so many ways.

I appreciate and love you more than you know.  And to those who I may have offended, please forgive me. I have a long way to go before I get it right but I'm working on it.

 

Love to all,

Kathy

    "I never meant to make enemies here, but sometimes I think I have.

    Now, when I see things here that bother me, I leave them alone. It's not my business.
    It's a lesson I had to learn and it was a painful lesson."

    Eh??? You have always conducted yourself well. If this place isn't a place where you can come for the occasional meltdown, then I have to rethink things too.

    But, jsut in case, let a quote another of my friends found lead the way:

    *** Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
    ~Dr. Seuss ***


    Hugs and Mojo to you K.

    Even when you're angry with someone, you're nice to them. I know, 'cos I saw it once and I was so impressed with how diplomatically you conducted yourself.
    I haven't posted on the Depression board in months. Those people are mean AND crazy and it's the same ones over and over. They don't want to be helped and they're not there to help anyone else, so leave 'em be.
    And you ain't just a'kiddin' it is hot!
    If you need some topics for your journals, I will think up some for you!
    Love,

    Thank you guys for your understanding. I didn't realize that these things have been going on in other communities too.
    I don't want to lose my gratitude for DS. I think most of us feel the same way and with lots of people and growth, there's bound to be problems sometimes.
    I hope you always know you have a friend in me.
    And yes, GP, it's too darn hot and I'd love a topic to write about!

    Let's see:
    Things your kids have done that surprised you
    Fantasies about what you'd say to your mother in law if she wasn't your husband's mom and you weren't so nice
    The things you'll enjoy doing the most when your back is healed
    Books that have changed the way you think about life
    Songs that understand you
    The best memories from your cruises
    Friends you miss but always remember with a smile
    Hair disasters
    Wardrobe malfunctions
    Times you thought you were gonna die
    The best cities you've seen in the world
    What you like most about living in California
    Your earliest memory
    The first news event you recall

    Kathy, I'm the same, seems like I've run out of things to journal about. Have we been here too long?
