midnight_angel_1, my son will be 24 very soon. He is not a "kid". And I am not rushing him in the least little bit. I am just looking forward to having Grandchildren of my own. When he got home at midnight, he said that they had a "blast".
typical woman's behaviour... u women are too confused!!
settled down on something for christ's, your own's and men's sake!!!
I am not confused, just tired of the men who claim to be gentlmen, but in real life they are not. And I will not settle for less than what I want in life.
gannieaw, Thank you so very much. My son is my life, I too pretty much raised my son alone. His Dad was around some, but not enough for us. I am always glad to make new friends, that is part of the reason I am on this sight. I know there is a big wonderful world out there that I will never get to see. So the internet is giving me the chance to "see" the world & meet some wonderful new people.
I to work on Christmas day. Our party for work will be before Christmas. We alwasys have a great time. There are only 10 of us, but we know how to have fun without costing a bundle of cash.
Even if we did not exchange gifts we would still have fun. How can a group of woman not get together & have a good time??
It is something we all agreed on before hand. And most of us spend very little on each other. We have a big party & have food & lots of fun...the little gifts are just something we all like to do for each other. We are like one big family at my workplace. Personally the best gift I ever recived was a homemade ornament for my Christmas tree.
Today is the day my family decided to celebrate Thanksgiving. We will be having a noon meal so that those of us who are going to a Christmas Auction this evening can go & not miss out.
It is traditional for us to tell why we are thankfull. After the past few days I can say I am thankfull that I have a job, that I have a healthy adult son, a home & that we are able to gather together & have a meal that will leave us "stuffed".
Just yesterday a regular customer came in on her way to the hospital to be with her daughter. The Grandson, aprox 10 yrs old, dropped his infant sister, less than 3 months old. They were heading to the hospital, they suspected some brain damage had happend & wasn't sure how bad things were going to get or if they were going to get better.
Just yesterday, one of my former co workers came to tell me goodbye. He was going back to colorado. This young man was like a son to me. I hugged him, wished him the best of luck & we both cried like crazy. His life here with his Dad the past few years has been "Hell on earth".
So I have a lot to be thankful for...my life is good compared to so many others. I will have to say I have been selfish when feeling so down & depressed the past few days. I have been Blessed & Ungrateful for it.
So today I am going to tell all my loved ones & friends just how much they mean to me & stop feeling sorry for myself! And to all of you that are here, may God Bless you! I am thankful for all of you that have written to me, have helped me learn this site, & been an encouragement to me. Thank You!!
I am just shocked at the people who do not care in my own comunity. I know there were several men that were in that store who could have taken the time to help this guy out. But they "didn't have the time"!! Good Greif, it only took us a few min to go less than 10 miles to get the battery!! I bet we were not gone more than 20 min tops.
I helped someone is not for praise, or money, but because I could. You have to understand how it feels to not be able to help in some situations. But this is one time I could help & that feeling that came with it was JOY. That is just me, I am a giving person.
Our world is so full of, "I don't haves" wether it is time, money, a helping hand or simply being there for someone else. What kind of world are we leaving behind for our children & grandkids? If we do not have the time to "be there" for others, who will "be there" for us & them??
Donnie, Thank you for reminding me of God's word. I do my best to do what is right in my life & so far what I have to show for it is a wonderful son & a quiet life.
Aww thanks for calling me sweet aJester22!! I know I have met one person on here with whom I have been exchanging letters with & so far he seems like the real deal. But I have recieved a whole lot more in "junk mail"!
Due to all the craziness in life my family has decided at long last to have a small get together before Thanksgiving. At least that is the plan as long as everyone stays well long enough!!
I know it will be a good time for all, even if it is just a small party this year. I know it may sound a bit selfish, but I was very upset at the idea of my family not getting together this year. Traditions are something I hate to lose.
Family is all I have, that includes my dear friends. Without them my life would be very quiet & lonesome!!
I am Blessed & I know it. Spoiled too Only with family loving me so much!!
Now I have to make plans to cook, cook, & cook some more! Whooo Hoooo!
Oh I have invited others to my table during the holidays in years past. This year is an exception. I am going to make the best of it & take food to work for my coworker & myslef that night. There will be a time to celebrate later. Who says you can't have a party later & enjoy our blessings!!
I am happy
