Supper is on the stove cooking, and I'm all worn out.
Am settled into my new digs for the most part, still have boxes here and there tho.
My son installed the internet stuff for me today, what a headache the modem turned out to be. Thank God he's so smart and gifted that way!

I've met lots of interesting new people, so friendly here! They go out of their way to introduce themselves, have given me a welcoming gift of cheerful flowers in a cup along with a gift certificate, and have gone the extra mile......

Then night before last I couldn't sleep and could feel a "soul" in my bedroom, knew it was death. I also figured that those kind of thoughts probably went along with the cold and sinus infection I've battleing so didn't tell anyone. Yesterday found out that one of my neighbors died night before last, at the same time I couldn't sleep and felt a "presence" in my room.
And so it goes, Monday is her funeral. So soon to lose a new friend...I guess that's what life is, a series of deaths....she was so nice to me, and she was so sad because she'd been told she had to move into an assisted living facility.
My son experienced the same sort of loss right after he moved into his new place, the caretaker passed away just two days after he'd finished getting settled...I wish now I'd gone and spent a day with him after that happened, he must have felt as lost as I do....I say that only cause I know he liked her.

Life will go on here, and there, and eveywhere, yet to me it feels as if a hole was left in the fabric of life, hopefully there'll be patches sewed on.....I know in just the short time I"ve been offline I've missed people that I "see" online, and am looking forward to hearing from them and also am hopeful that I'll still enjoy the internet yet live my life more in the now moment.fleaface

I'm soooooooooooo glad you decided not to give up the internet. O missed you!
Glad too that the move went well... so sad about your new friend... but that's life unfortunately.
All is well at this end... winter is blah time for me and I don't get out every day, but fortunately winter is a very short season in these parts.
Sounds like your son is settled in as well... that's so great.
Stay well and keep warm.

Missed you too friend :)

Knew that not participating online again would be one change too many and would be lost without the online community...

It hasn't been this cold here in 11 years, and we've now had 11 days of below zero every night, right around 10 below. Thank God! we didn't get all that snow that NY got!
That happened once here, down in St. Paul, the year my son was 4. We had 98 inches of that stuff!

((((((((((((((desertpeace)))))))))
for you too! you were in my thoughts those days and nights I wasn't online, and missed you the most of all those I know online.

Here's wishing you an early spring,

That was sweet of you to say...
Missed you too and was hoping that you would change your mind about giving up the net.
We had about an inch of snow this winter that melted in a matter of hours.... but it's been a rainy, cold winter...
BUT... considering we don't get a drop of rain from April until November.... every drop we get in the winter is a blessing... so I cannot complain.
Stay warm and well!

Hi :)
Am staying warm and cozy here, and we've got, btw, only 12 inches of snow! Really a shortage this winter! Not so for NY.!

Am getting better everyday, this was a mean bug that grabbed me!
