Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thank you, Amy. I plan to renew my flower beds. Bring color and beauty and new life to them! marta > > however you celebrate the day > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 We went to breakfast and then exchanged Easter baskets. Tonight we are watching a movie and getting dinner of some kind. Today has definitely not a healthy eating day. I will change that tomorrow. Anyway- we dont have any family around here so I get so sad when I see neighbors having family over and having a good time. It is just the three of us and it can be lonely but if it wasnt for Garrett, maybe I wouldnt mind so much. He is used to it but I get blue when everyone we know has big plans on holidays. We see and hear everyone being so busy and here I am online.........lol. Wow- am I depressing everyone? Sorry about that Vicki mjs93311 wrote: Thank you, Amy. I plan to renew my flower beds.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Vicki, I used to love large family gatherings -- I thrived on planning them and seeing everyone have a great time. In the past few years, however, I have learned to live quiet more than the gatherings. Today I'm home, alone, and it's so quiet. I have some wonderful Bach playing on the CD player and I'm drinking some cherry Pepsi and I'm having great time with myself -- the conversation is stimulating, the questions wonderful and the answers, well, they are just plain brilliant. And moreover, I'm contemplating a nap. Now if I could just win the lottery so I could spend the rest of my life like this! Re: Re: Happy Easter to all...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Vicki, No need to apologize. It just serves to remind me that everyone deals with missing family in their own way. My mom is with her friends today, attending a strange church, so to speak, and she is content. I bought flowers and cleaned the beds. Doubt I will get the new ones in the ground today, but I have good intentions! I didn't seek fellowship, that doesn't seem to do it for me these days. This afternoon I will be donating my time to a friend in need. I feel pretty good, but have had horridly lonely holidays in the past, so this is a blessing for me. Maybe you will be like me next year, happy and content! Marta > > We went to breakfast and then exchanged Easter baskets. Tonight we are watching a movie and getting dinner of some kind.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Im glad Im not the only one who is not with 50 family members right now........lol. I am not as social as I used to be. I used to always have to have people around me and now I am the opposite. That has worried me because it is a complete turn around. I have just had some bad experiences with people so I am very careful these days- almost too careful. I see people all around me with busy social lives and I have like none..........lol. Just different I guess because growing up, I always had to have tons of friends. People have tried in the past and I just shy away. I was never the loner type so I just wonder what has changed me. Like Im afraid of going back to work because of drama in the work place. How many times I have been screwed over by someone? Who knows! Our family is in San Diego and Missouri so holidays can be tough because I love all the Easter bunny and Santa stuff. If I didnt, it wouldnt be too bad. I just have to accept that it is ok to be this way. Im not old- I just tend to shy away from a lot of people because I have been backstabbed by people I thought were good friends. Ya know what? I need to come hang out with you guys sometime. I have known you guys on here for 5 years and I feel like I know you . I would love to get some time with all of you. Im glad you see where I am coming from. I know it must be hard with family in England. That is when holidays can be hard but I commend you for being ok with it. Youre right- maybe next year I will feel ok about it. I have felt this way for quite a few years but the person I have told for the last few years, turned out to be a horrible friend and a BIG backstabber- very snotty about my feelings over the holidays as well. As a friend, you are there for each other. You dont make them feel worse. So thank you for making me feel better. I hope I didnt come across as a " victim " . I was not implying that- I just made really bad choices in the past, I guess. Hugs Vicki mjs93311 wrote: Vicki, No need to apologize.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Vicki, You aren't whining, just sharing your feelings. No problem with that here! That is the reason we are here, for support. Funny, I was having the same conversation with my exhusband's mother this morning. She used to hate being alone, now she prefers it. I told her to worry about what other's thought or did, just to be confident in herself. Today is such a lovely day, how could I feel bad?
