First on the report from my daughter. Prayers from so many were answered there. So much to be thankful for. Report was good, Dr was very pleased. She is feeling so much better. She will be here for 2-3 days the end of the week along with my youngest son and family. Sunday evening we are having a family get together for a BBQ, so am getting ready for that.
I want to thank all of you for the support you have given me on my decision. At this point in my life I just am too independent to have someone take over and just smother me. I would be so very unhappy and miserable and I don't need that. We have talked several times and if friends is all we can be he wants us to stay close friends. He said it took too long to find me and does not want us to drift apart again. I truly feel he understands how I feel. Will see how it goes as I love the companionship.
Have a great day everyone, take care of you. LOL Marlene
Marlene I was so happy to see you have been able to remain friends with your friend and I understand his feelings too of not wanting to lose contact again after finding you. I can only compare your relationship with him to mine with John, my friend here. We have such a wonderful time because friends are all we will ever be. We can hug but we never kiss except on the cheek and his is so safe to be with. I know I will never be put in a position to have to say "no" or make excuses or anything because he does not think of me that way nor do I think of him in that way. We just love to eat, drink and make merry together. We have great talks, share music, theatre, friends in common, his family considers me part of their family, he is someone I can go to couples things and I am a couple for the event and not a third wheel. Makes others and myself feel good.
My heart is breaking for all the people of the Gulf Coast especially New Orleans, as I watch the horrors unfold on an hour to hour basis. I can't imagine what those poor people are feeling and how this will impact their lives and really all the lives of America is some way. I think of all the insurance monies going to be paid out and how that will affect us all, even far removed from the area. I agree this is like our tsumi (not sure of spelling). I think I shared that my electric bill was supposed to go to New Orleans for processing and when I called, was advised to pay locally so it would be credited and not past due notices sent, etc. You might need to check your mail and see where you mail checks for processing credit cards, etc to be sure the town is open and business is running rather than risk losing the payments. Call the company to find out alternate payment options. I have thought of all the companies in those areas and how they are totally lost plus all their data stored on computers, etc. Hope there are backups somewhere away from the areas. Anyway, just know we will all feel some effects from it all.
Need to get busy with some things here. Know you are in my thoughts. Hope all have a compliant day and stay positive in your thoughts. We really are what we think. Keep it positive. Hugs, Sandra |
