Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Zoella, Glad to hear that you are doing better recently. Well done in sorting those neighbours out. Good for you! Sorry to hear that you still have problems with your stepkids. There is only so much you can do about that. It is really up to them to get themselves clear of the drugs, but it is a big worry that you could do without. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Dear Zoella, I'm am so proud of you for standing up to your neighbors. I knew you could do it and it must have felt really good to finally get all that out. People just have to realize that they are walking on you and you have to put your foot down sometimes. I was brought up to be a " good girl " too and it's hard sometimes to come across like a " bitch " . I don't think we really do come across that way, we just think we do because we are so used to being " nice " . The problem is " nice " can be really hurtful in the long run and before long you lose yourself along the way. I would have loved to have seen their faces when you had it out with them. I would have been cheering you on...saying " go Zoella, go...!!!! " I'm really proud of you. I'm glad you have such a good husband who can comfort you in your time of pain and stress. Sometimes just a hug can mean the world to a person. I understand how you feel about being a drain on your family, but deep down they would rather have you this way then not at all. I felt the same way with my family and they finally told me just that. They all made it clear to me that they wouldn't get alone without me at this point in their lives and I knew I could really never leave them. My pain was so bad at times that I really didn't want to go on. So I can sure see how you felt at the funeral for your friend. As common and over used as the saying is, I do believe that when God closes a door he opens a window. I've totally become consumed with my art glass and am getting ready to open up a new website on line. I've gotten really positive feedback from my work and I think it's because each piece takes away some of my pain. I know that might sound silly, but I work so hard on each piece and pour all my healing thoughts and emotions into each one. I always feel great when I've finished one and I like to think they have a good aura around them of positive feelings. When I finally get my website finished, I'll send you the link. Right now that part is driving me nuts since I'm far from being a computer wiz. I think if I hadn't gotten sick I never would have advanced this much or developed my latest style, so I try to think positive and just move on with what I can do with my life right now. Well I'm off to the Cleveland Clinic tonight with my daughter. I see 3 specialists tomorrow and hopefully they can help me or at least tell me I'm on the right path. Take care and again, I'm so proud of you!!! Don't worry too much about your stepsons. There are some people in life that you just can't help or maybe they just aren't ready for help yet. It is just so sad when children are involved. At least they have you and your husband to turn too. Take care and keep up the " I'm not taking any more stress from you " , attitude. Love, Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hi Zoella, Thanks. If we can still smile through the bad days we are winning. Tradition says that a Scot doesn't wear anything under his Kilt. In reality some will honour the tradition but some don't. I have never even worn one. Don't want to show off my patchy knees never mind anything else. Lol I remember hearing a story about someone wearing a Kilt with nothing on underneath saying. " I don't know where that wind is coming from but I sure know where its going! " Lol Keep smiling Zoella, you deserve to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 , Thanks for your email and answer. Around here at alot of funerals they have men in scottish skirts and playing the bagpipes. Guess I have never been to a funeral with the scotts while the wind was blowing. Maybe someday ! What a dark thought !Blessings, Zoella __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
