Bad Idea


I was tootling around
putting off doing the dishes
when I got the idea to look back
to see what was in my journal this time last year.
I thought I might ask everyone to do it
Post an entry from a year ago.
Never look back
I saw pictures of my dear dog I lost
pictures of my little Victoria (the child I babysat)
who moved away
and I had to curl up in the big chair with Emily kitty and a blanket for awhile
It was a rough year, folks
Lots of bad vibes and negative thoughts at work
I used up so much of my energy trying to stay loving
Some nasty old misunderstandings between Tom and I keep rearing their ugly heads
I never know whether to beat them back down
into the psychic swamp they crawled out of
or to sic them on him and let them fight it out!
I am trying to walk this road peacefully
but there have been some potholes to circle around this year.
I want better times
I have to make them myself, I know.
Gathering courage,
Marti

    Hi Marti,
        I've been thinking about you lately. It's been a while. Sorry to hear about you and Tom. I know with us we'll be so close for so long, and then suddenly it's like I can't stand to look at him anymore. Then he'll go and get sick or something. I don't think relationships are meant to be easy. I hope things work themselves out for you. Please don't get yourself down again. There are always good things around the corner to look forward to.

    I agree with Kare growing pains are never easy and we suffer from them no matter what our ages. I've been trying to be more positive myself in my life as of late. There will always be those reminders that a perfect life doesn't nor will it ever exist. We make the most out of what we have , with those we love around us. (Hugs)Indigo
