Thank you to all.. It is an accomplishment for me, comming from skid row. Cannot even remember the last time I wanted to suck a few quarts down, maybe because I remember the last time I did. Was not a happy time for those that suffered through it. They did get out of the hospital & fully recovered though..
Next question is, how would one know if another is Mr. Right (Ms. Right), when one is to terrified to "RISK"???
To love, is to "risk" not being loved in return...
Anyone ever have another reach out to us and we hesitated? When we finally shed the fear and reach back, we (at times) find nothing there. I have no clue as to others, I call it the game. Way to old to play those games these days. What time is left, is for living & loving. Does anyone truly know how much time is left??
Special wishes to you also my dear.. Don't forget, only about 3 hours away if you need anything. When you get down to the valley, I will dazzle you with culinary delights..
YOU TOO??? Have them scattered all over the country, then they come stay at my house and drive me car.. Why can't they all have cute little houses where I could go play for a few weeks at a time??
I once heard there is a difference in loving someone & being in love with someone. I also heard it takes less effort to love than not to love, simply another choice in life..
