Among Friends.....?

I come here to DailyStrenght on mostly a daily basic...
These minutes or hours I spend here are often the only contact I have with anyone other than my son..or people at the Clinic I share a few moments with during an appointment.
There use to be a closeness, being very busy sharing thoughts and laughter with all my many friends on my list.
Then like so  many other times in life, I tend to wonder off by myself...
I'm sure only about one thing in my life, funny at the moment that tends to elude me... at least the words to describe, how my mental frame of mind is so tWiSteD..
I feel like an outsider in this World we live in...I worry for my son and grandchildren...the ones still so young and unaware of their surroundings.. The rest of my children are doing fine... living their lifes.
I've never understood how so many could put up with the actions of so few...I can't understand how a government can ignore the needs of it's citizens...!~
Well my mind wonders... as my ability to express myself.
I'm really glad I can come here online and share a few minutes with friends..
It calms the fears, stills the heart, and drives away the loneliness for a spell.. Thanks...
best wishes  Russ

Russ you will always be special to us here in DS. You are the bright spot in a grey dull day. You are not alone in feeling like an outsider in the world. You have plenty of company.I\'m at the head of the line. But were gonna make it and live to talk about it my friend. Dont let anybody get you down,stand strong in what you believe and continue to live a good life. We can change the course of our thinking and sometime it\'s the only thing that saves my day. If it were not for you none of those people you mentioned would even be here. They are and you did a good job. I pulled up one of your topics up in the Friends Connection group today because what you have to say is good, I have always enjoyed your thoughts.
Stay strong I\'am in your corner.

yesterday I was trying to go and read your journal and my computer froze, so between other things in life I just got to read your journal..
I think as we are older we see the world diffrent then the young so we worry more over them face it they are growing up in a all full scary world.
I find my mind wanders a lot now as i got older and got on disability, but mostly from my life..
write a daily in your journal if you can I try to , a lot of friends who seem to have left DS but some still stay in touch.. ann
