Oh CoCo, I wish you lived nice and close. We'd have had a great time tippin' a pint or just a hot coffee and talk.

Here's hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas....

Hi Jeff,
I just returned from a house sitting job where I had no pc privileges.
What a great idea! ! I can tell you here rather than start a new topic regarding my brief comment about being alone. I walk daily in my neighborhood and always run into a lot of great folks. As I walked about on Christmas day and saw happy families at their homes and groups/pairs of individuals out and walking, I realized that I was happy for them and NOT SORRY FOR MYSELF! Have I grown or what? And that night I sat before a roaring fire at the beautiful home I was tending. I was alone and NOT SORRY FOR MYSELF! Have I grown or what?
Just wanted to share that we all have pain, but somehow, when we least expect it, we start doing the normal stuff and it occurs to us, where did the pain go? I realize this sounds simplistic, but some of my grief has ebbed away ...
Thanks, good friend, for the invite!
At 4:25 a.m. on 26 December I thought of your situation (who can account for timing of what pops into the head?) and my own dire straits. I asked God for an answer specific to what I know to be my own need and what I perceive should be one adequate to soothe your own troubled heart. I figured it would do no good to tell you this or that was an answer to my prayer if I hadn't apprised you beforehand. I set 31 December as the day that I need a very specific answer. I realize I sound deluded, but I've been this way long before I'd heard of Jehovah.
I'll be in touch, in hopes that we will both be edified.
A friend, in need, is a friend indeed.
