It’s been well over a year and I have only written three posts. I’ve sat down to write many times but to no avail. Why? It’s complicated. “NEW HOME, NEW CHAPTER, MOVING FORWARD” was the 1st post I published here. I guess I can look at it as a kind of “orientation phase; exciting and new.” Following that was “Love Endures” that I don’t believe was as well received as I thought it would be. And my favorite is “My Saving Grace”. So, where do I go from here? I can tell you what I’m missing.
Of course, I miss family and friends in NC but there’s more to it than that. It’s the closest relationships with my sister Susan, Mama May, my precious friend Tammy and more! I didn’t get to see Tammy nearly as much as I would have liked but at least she wasn’t far away! One thing’s for sure, when we do have a chance to talk, it’s the best! We catch up and laugh a lot! A whole lot!! I want /need more of that here! Who, what and/or where can I find it? I don’t know.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my family here; and here comes the “but”. I don’t understand why there’s been a lot less togetherness and Christmas was not like any Christmas before. It was rather sad. Bobby and I said no gifts for us; we just want to be together. Well, we got together but we didn’t even get a card. That’s not a good feeling at all. And to top it all off, 4 out of 5 tee-shirts Bobby gave me needed to be exchanged for my small size and not ugly. Now I am done until next year. I hope and sincerely pray that the New Year will be truly happy, thoughtful and fulfilling for all.
