 Have the strength to carry on. The courage to see it through. No matter what watch for the light at the end of the tunnel. Look for God's messages in the simplest of things. Rejoice in...

I've been down in the dumps for a week now. The reasons are simple...My favorite Aunt is dying and my niece's 5 year old daughter died. I'm still trying to get past those things.  The stress I have over my speakers group is tied into this as well. Somebody suggested I write a tribute to my aunt Here it goes: Aunt Mary I love you. You were very special to me. When life was bad you always brought up. Of all the adults in the family you were the only one that believed in me. You took the time to listen. This is hard for me. The tears I shed are for you. Even in your current state you made my heart warm. I will always remember the time we visited you, and I was down and out. Of all the adults you were the only one who noticed. You took my aside and asked what was wrong. I told her mom said I can't ask for any rasberry jelly. Aunt Mary made some of the best jelly ever. She led me tp the pantry and gave me a jar, she said don't tell your mom. OMG! I was so happy. I hid the j.....

Dear Dave,


I swear- you were born to make me happy! Just when I think a day is going to drag me downhill, I hear from you. Sometimes it is the tiniest of threads that keeps us holding on. I applaud your bravery and resolve to give the world a new look at "US". Wow- do we need you.


I was at a baby shower the other day where I felt like Shiva- harbinger of doom. I'm thinking- are they nuts? Their mortgage is $2500 with a balon payment coming- neither of them have steady work- they have no savings- and the mom is not too healthy to begin with.


Then I remembered- life will always have its say. It will come when it wants, it will leave when it wants. It's a fickle & creative genius- not likely to listen to us whine and bang our heads on the counter when people say the dumbest stuff about the ECONOMY. Like that's our biggest problem.


I think our biggest problem is that we've lost community. Even in some families- certainly mine.


I am lost today-


but I know it's only a dense fog and I will take care of myself.


Bless you my friend,


Laurel

Thank you Laurel. You make my day. I believe that the community is lacking in many ways. Just go to  any store and see they treat the customres with dignity and respect. when you do tell me so I can go there.


Laurel you are an awesome friend. I cherish your emails. Don't concern yourself about being lost. Have faith, patience and perseverance that you will come out the other side with lots of sunshine. You bring sunshine to me.


Thank you my special friend.


May hope and sunshine wash over you,


Dave

Aw thanks for your kind words!!!!!!!!! Well i try be a good friend and be there for others. However at times it can be quite hard. Thanks for considering me a friend. I hope things will work out for you.. I wish you all the best...  It was very hard for me openly admit that I have an issues, but people so far have made me feel welcome. I feel like I am part of close nit family.. It's nice to see the support that people give each other on "RMH" and other's ... I find that I can share my inner most regrading issues around this topic and i won't be judge.. Thanks again, for making me feel welcomed..
