Life is hard sometimes, but here I still am |
|
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 06:23 PM by populistmom
Thank goodness for this place anyway sometimes. I haven't been around much this past week and the way I felt a week ago (because my own private issues, not DU as a whole or anything), I thought I'd leave here forever, but ultimately, it's too hard to do that and I've come to know too many wonderful people to do that. I don't know how I'm going to resolve certain things in my life, but I appreciate those who have been there and in one way or another for me, there's been many people who have touched me with their kindness. It means a lot and I suppose even though I'm not the most cheery person these days, ultimately, I've grown to love this place. I hope you all can put up with me anyway. :)

Thank you. Well, that's me, probably too much so. It's hard for me to relax and ever enjoy myself in life, but if it adds to a bit of thoughtful discourse every once in awhile, then I'm happy to be of service. :-)

What am I doing? Am I going to let an experience with one person from this place have that much control over my decisions? I don't think so. I've been through too much in my life to be that much of a wuss anymore.

27. It's my on-line home now |
|
I used to have a different one (it was a mommy group type of thing) and I let one argument piss me off enough that I left. This place is too special to do that and ultimately, I never even had an argument with anyone even (aside from a GD sparing match on rare occasions).

It definitely helps keep my sanity. Otherwise, I'd be in a rubber room singing those catchy little toons from Sesame Street over and over and over.

42. I appreciate that very much |
|
I am very happy and blessed in some respects and in others, not quite so much. Things are rather out of balance in my life currently. I think, though, eventually, the tides will turn in my life one way or the other in a positive direction. Whenever things feel down anyway, it seems like God is getting ready for some interesting new plan around the corner.

I haven't been around here for a really long time, but I did notice you hadn't been posting lately, and I'm glad you're back. I have been through a couple of life's traumas and like to read your perspective on things. Take care.:hug:
