Learning Curve
I'm learning as I go. What else is not new?!
First, it was very helpful to just say "I'm Sad" on Friday and feel so much affirmation from you all. I think I have learned that I may finally have the best reason of all to take better care of myself. Tired=fragile, and perhaps a dangerous lack of perspective. Not that there's anything wrong with admitting I'm sad, or owning the grief and the loss.
Second, it seems like I might have misunderstood some FMO etiquette and hurt some feelings by not always responding to things. Here's what it is: my laptop is on or my work PC is on with internet sites open, but I'm away from it... or working away in some other program. And, the email address I entered for this group is one I only check once in a great while.
So I don't see all the journal entries, I don't see all the IM's that float by, etc. Please, dear friends, don't think I am intentionally disregarding you or sending you some silent message. I'm really not the 'silent message' type! If I ever have issues with people, I ask them if we can talk about it.
Just know I'll be back when I'm back. If you ever need me STAT you can let me know by jumping up and down. Ho ho I guess that won't work. If you REALLY need me in an emergency, email me at sarah.lindentree@gmail.com. That will get through, no matter what I'm up to. 'K?
===================
I said silent prayers for Barbara all weekend. Sending whispered words of comfort. I know how much she doesn't want to let go... life has such a strong call. Andy didn't want to let go either. It was truly a blessing that his brain got knocked out by bleeds, so the last couple of days he was awake he was not struggling emotionally... just a wonderfully goofy sweet love-bunny. So many things for which I give thanks.
