Just a few more.....
OK--THAT SHOULD JUST ABOUT DO IT FOR THESE!
HOPE TO BE BACK AND ALL CAUGHT UP MONDAY OR SO---BUT I AM WORKING ON IT.
Life has been exceptionally complex for the last few- weeks, months....YEARS...
It seems, that I have caught up, WITH LIFE---- and everything that I have really thought/worked through, have come up looking pretty Good! I am 99% sure that I caused most of the said "Complexities" myself. Handling them correctly and as soon as they appeared would have been the smartest of several choices.
I however...and some of the Complexity I caused --so there is nothing to do but handle it! Even if I didn't cause it- I would still have to "Handle" where I am now. I wanna go Low Drama!!! Way under the Radar--except for where I like to POP up, with as much control as possible.
I choose--Here and You!- to pop up. This is my Haven....with you guys!
Apart from a couple of solid, close friends, I just don't have the same number of Casual/Social Relationships a couple would have, at a Club or Party Circuit, or a Home based Faith/Worship Group, or any number of factors that define your social circle in different time periods of your life. also.. Those relationships usually go much deeper than the superficial level and you can really gain and appreciate the dynamic that is a friendship. True friendships, require special careful cultivation, love and care. But Oh, are they worth it!
I just went out yesterday with an Old Buddy from work. (One of those rare ones- where Both Husband's and Both wives get along famously---these are very special people!) We have very similar pasts in that we both had- Open Heart Surgery and 2 stents later we have exactly the same medical Hx- and happened to end up working together at Urgent Scare. The parallel's were uncanny, anyway..... This is the a type of the God placed friend, and not just a chance meet. I really believe we have special people that come along at just the right time in our lives.) That's just me. It's happened to me to many times to be coincidental.
We went to Best Buy- (the only time I can go is WITHOUT my wife! OMG__ we get into that store together and we are walking out with Deer caught in the Headlights WEHADTOPAYBECAUSEWEWERETOEMBARRASSEDTOASKANYONETOPUTANYTHING BACKSTICKERSHOCKON OUR FACES~!! we are both gadget crazy and Love Music and Movies--so-is that place a Death Trap for the Wallet to anyone else?
where I left a $17.99 Metal Boxed Gift Set of The Best of The Moody Blues. We went to another store 7 miles away at a nice mall, and they didn't have that Box set. They showed it Back-ordered, and not available at ALL stores- and he didn't even show the other store had that one in! I started to run back and buy it- but I got The Best of Moody Blue's.. Santana's Greatest Hits, and Train's Newest CD.., I put back a Deer Hunting Game for the PC-- It was pricey- and since I quit Hunting (or have taken an extended break) from it--, a couple more accessories for the Wii--- It is still set up and LOOKIN' GOOD--Fit and TRIM!~
We then went to Five Guys and Had a Double Cheeseburgers with, (Insert Name of Idaho town fer Taters)
a large SWEET TEA!
We had an awesome time together, killed the better part of a day with out our wives ruining a shopping trip getting what we needed to get done leisurely- but still within a small appliances warranty period!!. In this brief span of thime we proceed to
Fixed the Economy--- AND HEALTH CARE MOST OF ALL!!!. Take Credit for Making the New Well Cap WORK for the Gulf! Talked a LOT on Anatomy. Gotta keep those skills sharp. Talked, family, future, what are you doing about getting your shed put in .....you know-
THE REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF!!!!! I am really blessed by this friendship, and this isn't Bob...my fishing Buddy--although Joe and I have fished too!
"I don't know you, but I Like You! Seems like I'm always...thinking of You....
I'll be your friend! Hey-- I can lick my butt- sit & stay....wanna see?"...... Hope
Do you think about your current situation a lot, little, only when something seems to be wrong?
Are there, or are you exploring options, or are they already put in place, in case of Emergency?
Do you know who, how, when etc. to ask for help? What resources are available?
Most of us can probably answer YES- to at least being able to know to at least ASK FOR HELP!!!!!
Some don't even have that luxury, privilege, break, opportunity, in LIFE!! Maybe we need to all give each other a break and keep pulling together. There's strength in numbers, and there is an exceptionally LARGE group, of fine people left in this Ole' World!
I do hope and pray that things are going well in your Life!
