- One of the greatest forces for good is HOPE. After I lost Joe, all my hopes and dreams ended. My life ended. Everything I worked so hard for blew up in a blast from cancer.Every day I used to get up and go about my life's activities because I was...
- With the arrival of each birthday, most of us have said, "I can't believe I'm (fill in the blank) years old! I'm OLD!!!"Years ago (many) we used to celebrate our birthdays together in the office where I worked. Each year we'd hear the familiar...
- Today is my 67th birthday. Although sad that Joe has been gone for almost 3 years, I know he would want me to celebrate and be happy. Yesterday I was in Home Depot looking for some hardware and parts for a project I am working on. I had no other...
- I just upgraded to Internet Explorer 9 this morning, due to a prompting that popped up. It looks pretty good, but I have one problem so far on the DS WW site. Previously, whenever I read a topic, there would appear an underline under the topic name...
- My dearest friend in my whole life died today. She was 94 and had all of her mental abilities with her to the very end. Ever since I was a young adult just out of college, she was my mentor and friend. She was with me through every crisis and...
- For the last couple of months, my truck horn has started blowly every now and then for no apparent reason. Especially at night, I will be awakened by it blowing, and of course I worry about it waking the neighbors up!Last evening, as I was leaving a...
- Today is my anniversary. I celebrated by going to church alone. Then I went by the cemetary alone to take new flowers. I watched football on TV by myself, took a short nap, watched some more TV. Had leftovers for lunch, not thinking too much...
- I just returned from a travel tour of 10 days, something I have never done before. I was afraid, as being alone several hundred miles away from home is scary.Our tour group consisted of:7 married couples19 single women0 single menOK,now, it doesn't...
- I have been toying with the idea of getting a dog for love and affection. I have 2 inside cats but they are pretty independent. Joe and I had had the most wonderful dog in the world for many years until she grew old and died.I don't know that much...
- I've been struggling all this time with that question - what is my purpose now?My life fell apart when Joe died. In fact, my life ended. Why was I denied a nice retirement like everyone else, with their loved one?Last night I was reading the...
- At different stages of life, we have had specific focuses. When we went to college or career training, we focused on job skills. When we married, we focused on setting up a loving home. When our children were born, we focused on THEM almost to...
- Earlier this year during one of my incredibly hurting grief periods, my daughter and I came to verbal blows. This is nothing new, as it has been going on for 20 years. We cannot seem to come to a mutual relationship. I accused her (true) of doing...
- It seems we all have preferences in the physical attributes of a potential friend/lover. Maybe we women can learn from the men, and the men can learn from the women what you like or don't like in the opposite sex?For me, I like clean and neat. I...
- I had an endoscopy (upper GI) 10 days ago. They said they'd have the results in 7 to 10 days. It was hard to wait, but by the 7th day I was really wanting to hear the news, good or bad.The doctor's office called and set up a follow-up appointment...
- After 2 years of widowhood, I decided to try a Christian online dating site. I immediately met a man who had ALL the qualities I wanted in a man. I was immediately swept off my feet and felt that God had blessed me with the perfect guy. It didn't...
