My oldest sister Dian (63) died suddenly and unexpectedly June 30th while on an Alaskan cruise. Her daughter (my niece I talk about so much being such a big help to me with my back) was with me when we found out, and has been with me pretty much ever since until a few nights ago. My sister was a teacher and a great one at that. She taught me senior English in high school, and co...1 Recommendation5 Comments

Things haven't gone very well for the past month or so. My ex is lingering with renal cancer and my youngest son is still in Texas with him and his step-mother.
I've had my ups and downs dealing with this on top of everything else and right now, I'm just a bit sad. You don't live with another person for 22 years and flip off the feelings like a light switch.

So, I slipped just after my sister died. My heavy-smoker friend came down to be with me, and I finally just said, "Oh, Hell, give me one of those." Then I had a few more. Then on July 5th, I found out my best friend had started back, and I bummed a few from him. Still didn't go get any, and vowed to get back on the horse, or wagon, and did.

Well, as painful as this is, I have to admit that I once again caved to the nicodemon. I made the mistake of calling my cousin to get directions to a health food store and cheap place to buy birdseed and got all entangled in her and my aunt's codependent sick relationship crap. My cousin is having panic attacks and is practically agoraphobic, describing in great detail her irrita...1 Recommendation5 Comments

Forgiveness
A friend of mine on the net wrote a beautiful letter to his perpetrator. So moving and so touching. I realized it was time for me to forgive my mother. I have thought about it for 24 hours. going back and forth from forgiveness to fear to anger - a rainbow of emotions. When I thought about it - I thought of letting her off the hook, then I intellectually knew it was releasing me ...1 Recommendation4 Comments
