Too bad I didn't see this before posting on the other blog Well, I guess that's what the 'cookies' here do - your other blog was put at the top of my page.
I guess it's early afternoon Tues. there now - wouldn't be surprised if your flight is delayed. You may already know this, but call or check on-line up to as late as you can, and they will let you know. I went through this when the hurricanes hit at the very airport I was scheduled to land at in 2012 - they tried putting me on a flight that connected in a different area, but the Ireland flight I was scheduled for only uses one airport in the U.S. So they ended up delaying me for an entire week. I know they charge a fortune if you change your flight(not like in the old days), but if it's dangerous, the airlines will reschedule you and you won't get charged.
I know something about those storms, too. I lived in Moore, OKlahoma for years, and went through the May 3, 1999, May 8, 2003 and several more slightly less severe. I now avoid Okla. in May, where some of my family is... last yr. I left just in time, before Moore was hit again - unfortunately, it was a very unusual storm, and I imagine you heard about the 3rd grade class that didn't make it out of the school, b/c there was very little warning time. But usually, the warning time is very, very good when it comes to tornadoes & deadly hail, lightening, and all the crazy weather Okla. gets on a pretty regular basis - so I would guess that your family is alright even though you haven't heard anything - phones are usually out for a while, and electricity may be out for days, depending on how close and how much damage there was. Hope you've had some good news by now, but saw this post & thought I'd reply just in case...
I have a 24-yr.old who is bi-polar, ADHD, with extreme anxiety & more. None of it's fun, and anxiety is really, really rough. It's wonderful if you have good friends & family. There are ways for it to be even better - however, that takes some really understanding, knowledgeable professionals - which can be extremely hard to find(we've been very fortunate to find both- if you ever want to try any outside help, feel free to write me. The people I know could recommend someone in your area. These two that I know are near-genious, super-compassionate, the best. One once told the other - "Don't die. Too many people need you.") Anyway, just thought I'd let you know, if you ever want any info. Don't know if you're receiving Soc.Sec., but can help w/that also.
Best wishes & keep on hanging in there. Sounds like you're doing a great job
Yes, I agree. Real love is always active, not just words being spoken. Sometimes it's easy to forget that you started out wanting to give & bring happiness to the one you love. In the everyday struggles of life, it can be easy to become selfish. But the rewards are great & bring much more happiness not only to your loved one, but to you as well, once you realize this & don't take the other for granted.
I made up my own saying a long time ago(in the middle of living with an opposite for over 25 yrs.)
Opposites attract... but are very hard to live with.
Having shared interests, along w/1 or 2 of your own would probably be the ideal. But the statistics are that opposites usually marry each other, at least if it's the 1st marriage.
