Conversation – 15

Oh Sheba; you have endured. You truly have endured. I just went back and reread your post to me regarding your daughter. I have no doubt in my mind that you are one of the most supportive mommies out there. You probably hold them close and hold your family together. If Heidi ever has a convention….I will get there and meet you. You are a Steel Magnolia.

That is what I called my mother’s friends. Beautiful inside and out. Strong with a talent of listening and quiet giving. This forum that you have created is so needed for us all. You are amazing.

@Cherie,

Joyce Meyer is an amazing, inspiring and honest woman! I try to watch her every morning. She is so gifted at connecting with people and telling it like it is. I really enjoy her! 😀

If you have read what I left for loaf then this might make sense to you. Remember that dream a while back? Our (his and mine) eyes met and locked and I just knew I was in my present and past simultaneously and answers were made clear and feelings so intense without speaking and so on? Well, that was the guy. The Brit. I have an old locket with his picture in it that is hidden among my jewelry. My mom had a locket too that we found after she passed. Had a picture in it that must have been an old flame. She never talked about it. I think her best friend (all her life) knew who he was and when she was offered to choose from a piece from her jewelry to keep, she chose the gold locket with the picture. I think someday my kids will come across my locket and wonder. I think everyone has someone like that. Anyway, I remember you being interested in the mystery man, so I hope you enjoy that. 😀

Yes, I will still enjoy this holiday season and my Christmas tree for as long as I can! I am in no hurry for it to end…

I hope you are having a nice day! 😀

@Sheba,

Wish I could hit the floor running! I’m happy if I can just hit it walking! Lol! I think I need a new mattress, mine is too soft and I wake up stiff. Unfortunately, it is newer and I paid a small fortune for it so I have to live with it. I always feel better when I am moving. Don’t worry, I will not burn all my energy at once.

I read about your daughter. I am sorry. You have mentioned it before but wanted to say how sorry I am. It is scary. Cancer is scary, and especially when it touches your family, friends, children. My daughter’s was cervical as a teenager. Dr said very unusual as a teenager but it was caught very early and taken care of right away. She is very careful to get her annual exams and has been ok. I’m glad your daughter continues to do well. Hugs to you…

Please just know that cancer is going to finally meet a worthy opponent in just a few years. It’s just a matter of production and getting it out to the people now and this takes time. It is very hopeful news!

@kittengirl,

I hope she turns out alright. Be gentle putting her in a cage I know that is not an easy
thing to do. As far as things on the telly it’s just entertainment. 🙂

There is always a lot on my plate so I hit the floor running. When I do this thread I am
on a break. 🙂

Let’s make this a good new year. ♥ Try not to use too much energy. Go Super Woman.

@Sheba,

Top of the morning to you too! Tina doesn’t scare me but those zombies terrify me! I can’t watch TWD because they creep me out soooo much! The Munsters and Frankenstein always had that effect on me too. It’s all just too creepy. I don’t like creepy Halloween stuff either. I’m pretty sure I am in the minority, zombies seem to be pretty popular these days. Talking Tina never scared me and I knew my dolls and stuffed animals were always nice! Lol!

So what are you up to today? I am going to try and be productive around here as I have so much to do – tons of paperwork, some cleaning, laundry. I feel a burst of energy so I want to take advantage of it. I even feel like yard-work but it will be either inside or outside work today, not both! I hope whatever you have on your agenda that you have a nice day!

Tomorrow Jonnie goes in to the vet to get “fixed”. I am very apprehensive. My little “penguin girl”. I hope everything works out ok. She just finished her heat cycle so we have to hurry before another one starts. The hard part is getting her into the carrier. I love that little girl! 😀

@bichon18,

So are you. ♥

Warm gentle hugs. 🙂

You are a darling.

You Are Enough

Just being here, being ourselves, is enough.

Most of us have the feeling that we are here to accomplish something big in our lives, and if we haven’t done something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel incomplete, or empty, as if our lives don’t yet make sense to us, because they don’t line up with our idea of major accomplishment. In some cases, this may be because we really are meant to do something that we haven’t yet done. But in most cases, we can let ourselves off the hook with the realization that just being here, being ourselves, is enough.

As we live our lives in this world, we share our energy and our spirit with the people around us in numerous ways. Our influence touches their lives and, through them, touches the lives of many more people. When we strive to live our lives to the fullest and to become our true selves, we are doing something big on an inner level, and that is more than enough to make sense of our being here on this planet at this time. There is no need to hold ourselves to an old idea in the back of our minds that we need to make headlines or single-handedly save the world in order to validate our existence.

We can each look within our hearts to discover what is true for us, what gives our lives meaning, and what excites us. We can release ourselves from any pressure to perform that comes from outside of our inner sense of purpose. Staying in tune with our own values and living our lives in tune with our own vision is all we need in order to fulfill our time here. Our lives are a process of becoming so that we cannot help but cocreate; being who we are, responding to each moment as it comes, we can trust that this is enough. AMEN!

Gilda’s Club

Community organization

Gilda’s Club is a community organization for people with cancer, their families and friends. Local chapters provide meeting places where those who have cancer, their families, and friends can join with others to build emotional and social support as a supplement to medical care.

Founded: 1995, New York City, NY
Headquarters: New York City, NY
Founders: Gilda Radner, Gene Wilder, Joel Siegel

Hi Pretty Woman;

Regarding Gilda….I graduated from Fort Lee High School, Class of 1970. So an Amy from Fort Lee, New Jersey writes in……..

My dear friend worked at a Gilda’s House in South Jersey for many years until retiring last year.

Gilda left her brilliant mark on many. But…..look how long she went without the proper diagnosis. When I was in my early forties I had to have a hysterectomy. The doctor suggested taking my uterus and going back for the ovaries in a few years. I asked him at what point do they find ovarian cancer. He told me Stage 4. Between Gilda and a friend of my mom; there was no doubt in my mind that a full hysterectomy was going to happen. It did. Gilda was more of an inspiration for me than just her brilliant talent. You see…I was near to her age when she died.

I think of your dear aunt….

Now for fun…..the Enchante’ Collection from Heidi. This time I will get a set of it. Since I do not have emerald green in my Heidi Collection; that is where I will lean. Her TS is on Jerry’s Birthday. I will record the shows.

Are you ready to escape the cold?

Auntie Aim

@kittengirl,

Sorry I did not respond to your post. Talking Tina definitely gives me the willies sometimes
it’s the little things that can freak you out. 🙂 That little doll was from HADES! The zombies
you can see them coming and take them out! Tina played on the mind that is what’s
terrifying about her. May the little witch RIP! Bye Tina. 🙂

Kitten that episode played on my mind which is exactly what Rod Sterling was trying to do.
I think Telly horror in the doll made a lot of difference.

Top of the morning to you and I hope you have a smooth day. Oh TWD should return
sometime within the next two weeks. 🙂 Kisses to the kitties.

Enjoy♥

Cherie,

Glad you had a great time. 🙂 The nasal spray is making a difference but I am almost out
of the woods.

Are the kids back to school? How is your mother doing? LOL! I love your mother. ♥
Cherie just rest today if you can well 2019 is here and so far so good. Praying ♥

Here let me get you back on your toes. 🙂 Enjoy ♥

@bichon18,

Good Morning to you and Jerry. I found Gilda to be interesting. My what a woman. 🙂
How is little Ari this morning I think making him a little space is great. I don’t know what
I would do without furbabies. ♥ I hope this day fines you feeling much better. 🙂 I am
doing a little better. 🙂
