Well, I am still in the country housesitting ... surrounded by tons of snow and two dogs. One is 15 years old (Minnie) and the other one has diabetes (Buddy). I refused to learn how to give injections, so Melanie from two farms up the road comes twice a day, to give Buddy his injections. It is just too much of a responsibility which I dont want to have.
Thanks for getting stuff off your chest, Tigs. No, I did not pop in and read without leaving hallo or any other posts. Just started when I did finally come here, after getting your christmas card. And you are right, no one is ever too busy to do what matters the most. You are a good example of that.
One thing that does get to me is all the talk about food that I know is harmful to our well-being. And I understand that that is my opinion, and it doesnt matter much to anyone else except me. I have seen, and continue to see people getting sick because they dont obey the laws of nutrition (at least to a certain extent) and that is why my friend is now in hospital battling pancreatic cancer and fighting for her life. I had asked her husband if I could visit her, and he basically said no (but in a nice way) and that she was sleeping a lot. An inner voice told me to go anyway. So I did. I just showed up at the hospital and met some of her family in The Quiet Room and asked them what I should do. I told them that I was okay with not seeing her, but that I had to come. I am learning to listen to my inner still voice. Well, I did manage to see her very briefly. She just kept saying Oh Hal, oh Hal, is this a dream? So I was so glad to see her. And as you know, I also asked them what I can do to help them. I know her husband would have said "Nothing", but her sister said that some neighbours were bringing over food, so thats when I made the chili and basmati rice. I hope they like it.
So that was a long way around as to what bothers me - just a little anyway. I too, like Tigs, am wondering if I should send this. But I will. Because I think when you like a group of people, you want to be honest even if you disagree with some things. Because isn't this what keeps our world turning and making it an interesting place?
So there, that is out in the open. I enjoy this group, and have been here a loooong time. Since 2001 ... I remember putting my computer together on September 11 and crying my eyes out. What a historical day that was!
I am glad that you are back, Tigs. Hope you had a nice rest. And we missed you and look forward to your posts. And I'm sorry for causing you undue worry and concern.
