glad it made ya smile I sure needed one today!

It's raining like mad here the past few days, thunder boomers and tornadoes and

all the usual spring weather. I've been trying to keep my focus on writing

lately so I haven't been posting or reading much, sorry.

I had someone from an email list called DFW-CFS (a fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue

email list for the Dallas/Ft. Worht area) ask what to tell people about your

health at her 20th high school reunion and I thot why on earth, if you haven't

kept in touch in 20 years, would they want to know about your bad health? I

basically said that unless they were close or brought it up first and you felt

comfy sharing, to keep it to yourself, reunions are stressful in themselves and

if they didn't keep in touch, they probably don't REALLY want to know.

I got some replies that said I was rude and unthinking LOL. They said so how do

you answer questions like " how are you " and " what have you been doing these last

20 years " etc.?

I said I'd say " I'm great! I've been working as a Quality Control Manager in

electronics until recently and now I'm writing a book. I have two great kids,

grown, and daughter has two boys, 6 & 7, growing like weeds. That this is my

second husband and he's a sweetheart and I thank God everyday that he's part of

my life and that I have such a blessed life. That I do Tai Chi and archery and

walk and read and research a lot. "

I told them attitude is everything. I hope they get the message. Sheesh.

I'm venting yall. Sometimes this " oh woe is me I've got a chronic illness thing

won't you feel sorry for me " just irks me. I can feel sympathy without feeling

pity. I think even with someone who is disabled (not in a coma or something of

course), there are opportunities to do things with one's life.

OK done venting

Dear Alley,

You go, GIRL!!!!!!! I don't do that either. Our pastors husband actually

got up in front of the congregation and gave an hour story on his son's problems

with HIV. Poor kid is eighteen years old. He's graduating from high school

this year and is going on to ECPI, which is an electronic technical school in

our area. Personally, I think the Father ought to have his clock cleaned.

The pastor, by the way, is the stepmother, the mother died of HIV. We all

already knew about it. He really didn't need to that to his child.

Okay, now I'm done with my venting.

A special prayer for Reagan. And all the other primary care givers, my

husband included.

Good for you, Alley. After 20 years why in the world would one go into a

discourse about their health problems. Geesh, that would be like meeting someone

new and going into a discourse on your health...

email list for the Dallas/Ft. Worht area) ask what to tell people about your

health at her 20th high school reunion and I thot why on earth, if you haven't
