A Don't Pity Me Talk As I climb up the down side each and every day, disappearing rungs follow me leaving me in front but behind what needs to be done. ~~*~~ I saw a jet flying towards the moon and another crossing its path. I stopped to watch the vapor in twin streams, wondering just how close they seemed to one another. ~~*~~ Sun was shining and the brisk air felt so good that I ignored those passing by and decided to trim the edges of my gardens while I waited for the cost of car repairs. I can't be still while I am in the worry mode. And it's been that kind of week. ~~*~~ Here it is another Friday and I'm all alone, trying to decide if I should go to the movies, buy a movie or watch Gone with the Wind and cry along with it. ~~*~~ Daylight's getting longer, my clock is running faster and I'm reaching for the moon, the one I saw today hanging in the bluest sky, the only thing that made me smile today. ~~*~~ M |

This week has been a real stinker. But good to see you're writing about yours. Words are not easy here, can't see the page very well and I need waterproof ink . . . |

Elizabeth, I am really a very positive person, believe me or I would have gone "nuts" ages ago. *s Thank you for your caring comments. M Hey C, just waiting around for "something" "anything"  frig broke down, car won't start. I am just waiting for the next "happening" actually it was very nice out today and only remnants of that snow blizzard are left hiding beneath the bushes. I felt energized and when I tired I just looked up and viewed that beautiful moon in the day sky. *s hugsss back M Krawdad, well I have had my share of ink running anytime you need a shoulder, mine is available. It becomes wider every day. hugsssssss M Ken it's always sweet how your reply in rhyme. I look forward to your words enjoyed it this time.

Hey ya Maureen. From across the miles, I am sitting here all alone too. So, I guess we are in the same boat. |

Maureen, don't be silly. Rent a comedy and laugh along with it. If you have a choice, always choose laughter over tears. You're too positive a person to take the sad way out.Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

I would go out to a movie because I like being around lots of people...and yet sometimes I want to be alone...or just watch a movie with one special person...what did you decide...james |

You may be a positive person, Maureen, but on the inside of your mind, there are thoughts and feelings of loneliness, as these words portend. |

I am lonely, Opeth. It isn't easy being me. And when you are my age and all of your life you have had either family or a husband/wife to share life with, there are many moments when loneliness will take over and not allow you to feel alive. This is one of those days when one word can undo every good feeling I have about myself, life and the world as a whole, and can take away from me, all I have gained. And when others use cliches and tell you that no one can make you feel that way, that only you can do that...they are wrong, because we are only human and are only so strong on the outside and when you are bombarded with the negative, eventually you break down. Thank you for your response and for those above yours. M **I was really trying to talk myself out of being depressed but I guess it didn't come across that way. |

Well, if I were where you are at, I'd come visit you on occasion and help reduce those feelings of loneliness that you have. |
