Just because the people around you seem not to be waking up, does not mean no one is.


Thanks for your .02....

I really did expect this to be more of a slow roll kind of thing instead of some big boom. I just worry that so many people are being financially ruined by this. Family is family, you can’t pick em. But my friends who are Trump supporters, veterans, smart, loyal. Sigh. They won’t even watch something like “out of shadows”. It really, at times feels like a betrayal.

I’ll quit feeling sorry for myself now. And, try to find some additional local friends who enjoy these topics as much as I do.

Aha, you asked for more small change - here it is!

I am pretty much a hermit, all my friends now are long distance, the one good friend here died some years ago. Even my very good friends are not Q’ers. There are things I can’t talk about with them. Such is life...thankfully DH is totally on board.

My understanding is that a lot of one’s life is inner life - in the heart, between the soul and God. To the degree we can share that with others, great, but it’s all a matter of degree. I have made good friends online - different from “real life” of course.

In fact one man I knew since 2006 on forums (not on FR, started actually on a flu forum) died from cancer 2 years ago. I helped him die peacefully - send CDs, talked on the phone, sent him books, exchanged many emails, and I consider our friendship, although we never “met”, to be as real as any other deep friendship I’ve had.

My beliefs tell me that every single soul is my relative.

So...WWG1WGA!
