Put my roller coaster kitties up just for you :)
It is alright to feel good and free from the insanity. It is ok to go on with your life and live it to the fullest!!!!
You have my full permission!!!
We have choices in life.....but we are not free from the consequences......I wanna make mine good and am working on that diligently. I'm not a huge fan of roller coasters, but oh well......If I gotta ride one, it will be out of joy and not insanity. Schooch over love.....I'll come along for the ride (rather do the pick up ride sitting on a bale of hay with the wind blowing my ears around? LOL).

This is a good sign that you are healing....good on you ((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))))))

A song for the ride of our life....hang on.....here goes (the short version...lol)

Oh my Gosh!! Thank you thank you for the "roller Coaster" ride.... if only in my head. :) Couldn't actually hear the song... But the minute I saw the name... I could here it in my head!! I haven't even thought of that song since I was a teen. hee hee

Maybe next time we can ride in that truck. :) lol Maybe the ears flopping IS kinda out of the question. lol I can only remember as a kid, having my hair blowing ALL over the place... and with long curly hair at the time? What a mess I would be after the ride. :)

Thanks MsB

I am gonna suffer the consequences of a really really full laundry basket tomorrow..(chuckle)

and big hugs back too ya! :)

I could add to that laundry....if that would help.......... ;p

AHHH LOL Patti.... They all four of em.... just came home from work and "helped" me... sweet things lol

I consider it a "Major achievement" if for five minutes in one day I actually have managed to have it all done before they have filled one up again... They sure must LOVE ME!! (chuckle)

I can add to the laundry.. dont let it be said I didnt offer! :-)

Thank you Paws! (chuckle) You know I had got myself going and had just gotten to the bottom of the basket, when I saw your post! hee hee Geez, you all know the reality.. Don't cha! I must admit, I am still to up in the air, to even feel the "oppression" hee hee of " the ever full laundry basket! haa haa Bring it on!! I CAN - I WILL succeed again today....

........Just another day in the never ending drama of "As The Dryer Spins"

Tune in next week... and find out Will the washer take to leaking? Is the Water heater going to go out? Will Will the cars all still be running?.... haa haa

I swear I haven't felt like this forever! I think I am getting that "the fog lifted" "the skies cleared" feeling more and more... :) Takes so long for the soul to catch up with the mind... It sure has taken mine forever. :)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. :)

hee hee.. So glad this is a good day for you, but those emotions are all over the wall. I dont need to tell you, you already know. So we'll enjoy the ups while they are here! (((BIG HUGS)))

*our emotions! :-)

Aww paws thank you for the hugs... I gotta say, about all the emotions jumping.. have been doing the "pick up" "fall down" thing a long long time... Something this time has changed for me... That I can say with all honesty... I think I can describe it best, as I have finally gotten/getting over the "fear" part... The fear that this WILL never get any better... that my mind will be drug back down into that "muck" state again.. That I will go into "guilt" for being happy and going on with my life "junk"...

No, I can truely say that something IS different this time.. I am beginning to get over the fear... The old stuff may come back... and it has been... but it just doesn't seem to "take hold" for long... :)

For this I am just "grateful" and not gonna "think" too much about.. JUST gonna enjoy the day, or take a nap... or a walk... and smile and laugh when I want too. :)

Nope I am moving on for real! I do actually love my little house and my little life... and my little washer... full of its "really full load" hee hee hee

Just hold out for me little old dryer. (chuckle) It being winter and all... Freeze dried laundry just doesn't sound to good to me... (chuckle) But, now that I think about it, it may just be fun trying to hang it on the frozen lines! I am truly asking for it now.!! This is usually when the dryer will truly go out on me.. hee hee Bring it on!! (insert evil laughter here) I will get it dry (gulp)..... brrrrrr

That's where I am, too.. we are looking ahead now, more than looking backward! Yay for us! I think we all have to go thru the emotions, and it takes some longer than others, but we all get to the same place. I'm glad the worst is behind me now. It almost killed me. I hate that our kids have done this to us, and if I could change it I would, but we have to find happiness somehow. So glad you and I can laugh!!! We really are "GonnaBeOk"!!! :-)

I guess paws, I am just to the point that I really don't feel that way anymore... I really don't even think about them or want to change it... It is just one of those things in life that happen... No more or less than many people in the past have experienced... Weather they lived through the "great depression" or had a life time of work go down the drain... Or have had their whole world turned upside down by living in a time of war... No,... I have accepted the way it turned out... and I have moved on.. For me it is over... I have made my decision, I just see it all as the past... Just rode bumps I had to travel.. Not easy, But I have closed that chapter in my life now... :)

Best to you Paws

That's a great attitude, Gonna... I think like how is this different than a man or woman coming back from war with one leg... their life has been altered too, but they have to pull their britches up and get on with life. We do too! You probably said it before but I have short attention span.. haha How long has it been for you? Not that it matters. Some get to that place sooner than others. We all have to get there though! (((BIG HUG)))

Paws, the length of time doesn't matter. It is the determination to accept and get on with it that does...

I do know that it will never be over until you give up the guilt of moving on... I don't even know how to say this the right way... But it is truly only over when you stop hanging on to the "throne to estrangement" It IS just what it is... OVER... Only then can you move on. You don't have to analyze it... muck it in your mind... cure it... keep it as a constant subject to discuss.... You just have to LET IT GO.. I know that is not as simple as it sounds... But IF you are determined to Accept it and LIVE - Willing to truly SEE the truth. You do find your way through this...

Best to you Paws... and a hug too :)

I agree, totally, and I'm there too.
We have a life ahead of us and happiness to get! Yay! :-)
