this is a very hard time for me.... Everything is changing and I wonder why and what will remain when its all over.... just when is that going to happen though I wonder.... Today Peter Jennings died and my neighbors moved all their things out and said good bye to us. I needed both of these people because they made me smarter and taught me so much..... do I stop learning now I wonder......... Life is hard sometimes isn't it..... I am getting used to our new priest and new Pope and all kinds of other smaller things so I will get used to this too won't I. I will never forget though so I guess sometime in the future I will get to laugh again. Is it my turn now to teach what I know???? I don't think it is.... I want to keep learning, So does that make me selfish I wonder. Terese and Jim had some stuff out to the curb tonight so I went and junk picked.... :) there was a little white wooden chair there and some old fishing poles... I took the white old wooden chair and leo took 2 of the old fishing poles... he to give to a friend and me to put the chair by my mothers vanity... its a perfect fit and I didn't have a chair or stool that fit there yet.... all were so wide and this one fit just right and Jim had braced it so It doesn't wobble or anything.... It reminds me of her because she is so small too. I bet it was an old chair of her mothers. When I tell her I took it she will smile and be happy I wanted it too. She told me its only a mile away and I should ride my bike over... haha I haven't ridden it for 2 years now... and she knows it too.
It's going to take me a long long time to get over losing Peter Jennings though I think... I kept waiting to see him again because I figured he would be back.... you see he is the one that told me the news every night and anytime in between....
I can hardly wait to see what happiness I am going to experience in the future because it will happen because Iam about as sad as I can be right now..... thats what happens in life--- right? Is that what happens to you too? When bad things happen good is just around the corner? I hope so.
Hope you are a LOT happier than Iam, sandra

I think we all go through what you're feeling. I was very sad when the Pope died. i am a Baptist but his death hit me hard. I think it's because he taught me how to be strong even when your body is failing you like mine is. I watch CNN. When bad news happens, I want them to tell me. I know them. Not physically but every day they are there. It's like hearing bad news from a friend instead of a stranger. Good things ARE just around the corner. It always happens.
I too remember Peter Jennings and got used to seeing his face on the news. I am sad though for him and for personal reasons and sure could use something good happen within my family right now. I like your outlook and when I read it, it gave me hope for my future and the well being of my family. Thank you for your kind words.
waiting to smile
Sorry to hear that you're so sad today. There will be another door opening to bring more happiness to your life. The sadness will go away with time. In the meantime you can find some joy and comfort in your beautiful yard and the great books that your read. And the blessed rain and cooler weather is supposed to start creeping in.
Some changes are welcome, but the changes that bring so much sadness are the good things in your life that you always want to keep. Terese sounds like she was a good neighbor; I've never had one, so I envy that you did. I bet she is going to miss you too. Who knows what her new neighbors will be like!
I liked Peter Jennings too and was so sad to hear he died. I kept hoping he would get better and be back on the news.
I too am slowly getting used to our new priest, but I really miss Fr. Bob and have to wipe the tears away every time I go to church. He is coming to our church picnic Sunday, and I'm sure I'll be wiping some more tears away.
I think it's just the ups and downs of life, and we will come out of it stronger than ever.
I like to junk pick too. One time I found a little table that fit perfectly under my new mail slot. Once my husband found an old buggy seat that he made into a planter with wheels and everything. I think sometime people are afraid to offer things as they think you might be offended. Not us junk pickers, right? lol Paula
