We are the last of the great boomer generation…
I love the quote, we are best friends forever…and when we get old and forget who we are, we’ll forever be new friends!

Of all the things I’ve lost since school, I miss my mind the most!

Thank you for the beautiful gift. I receive it with open heart and arms. Have a wonderful New Year my friend. Here is my New Years wish for you: That everything you want and need would be yours (if God sees fit of course):-) and that God would rain down His beautiful grace heavily upon you and show you much favor in the coming year. Thank you for blessing my year here on the Life Train. What a ride my friend, what a ride.

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to give to her.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, ‘This is for you, Momma.’
The mother was embarrassed by her earlier overreaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner.
‘Don’t you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there’s supposed to be something inside the package?’
She had tears in her eyes and said, ‘Oh, Momma, it’s not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full.’
The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.
Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Comment on About lonliness…Part I by bt4ldimples

I often feel lonely. I wanted to write a comment on this subject when it first was presented but didn’t want to think or write about being lonely at a time when it’s shadow was not covering me. I decided I would wait until I was once again covered by the darkness. I thought that once I was covered, writing my comment here would be the best thing to add alittle glow to keep my room from being the room of gloom.

So…let me tell you how and why I often get to this place of being lonely. I was divorced 7 years ago from a man that was controlling and isolated me from my family and friends. My friends that I had before my marriage has now either moved away or so into their own activities and families and unable to connect with on a regular basis. When I divorced, I moved about an hour away with my children to a city (to be closer to my job) where I know no one other than my co-workers. Most of my co-workers are older than I or just out of college. My kids have all grown up, and started to find their way in life and now I am home alone. I have girlfriend that I go out with at times to special events, but no male companion. (And I don’t know why, cause I think I am a great catch…lol!) My girlfriend is married to an Army soldier, so when he comes home from from his different assignments that usually leaves me alone once again.

To keep myself from feeling lonely, I usually try to stay busy physically and mentally or go to place where there are people like the mall, a movie theater, church, or restuarant. I strike up conversations, without giving up too much info to strangers. (For safety reasons) But the conversations are just a temporary fix . It’s more like seeing a doctor for a chronic problem and hoping for the cure to present itself by the next attack. If I can’t go out, then my next destination is FACEBOOK. There I can connect with people no matter where they are. But if I had a choice, the companionship of another person is what I would prefer.

I spend alot of time thinking of ways to initiate the happiness in my life, but there does comes a time when I need someone else to show me that unconditional love and that there is someone interested in me without being probed to do so. Everyone, I think desires it!!
