my eldest son committed suicide last May 26th 5 days before his 46th birthday
So sorry Grammy, my son tried twice last year. Almost did once.
Feet on the floor, breath, put on a smile and see what is out there for us today.

for some of you, seems like you have your routines, family, jobs, etc....and you can plan you day and enjoy it.. for others of us, everyday is a struggle to make a good day happen.
if i don't work on it, i won't have one.
today will be a good day!

this will make you smile.....
3 a (1): a usually sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something (2) : an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking (3) : an illuminating discovery b: a revealing scene or moment.
the word, of course, is epiphany.
my first was the "simple and striking" realization that i was in a manipulative religous cult.
I love that word, epiphany.
I have had a few. My lastest are:
I can believe in myself, I actually know what is best for me.
I don't have to have all the answers. Living in the mystery is a good place to be.

MJNM I have a dentist apt on Thursday. Feel like I'm headed to the guillotine. Talk about money I don't want to spend, besides, the whole "thing".
But today is Tuesday, so don't have to go today.....good day!

i noticed a few minutes ago 2 sisters are on the block over from me.
i have told them over the past year to put me down on the do not call on list.
i figure it's going to ignored, so i printed out the 1981 boe british letter about child molestation and protection of elders and the amended page on that subject from the flock book (the one with the co's handwrittten notes) and stuck it in the handle of my screen door.. .
Not that this is related, but the first time I celebrated a birthday I felt like I needed to go to jail. I think for all of us, it is a process. Now I am a celebrating machine.
Let us know if they pick up the letter. Good job.

i was hoping that title would draw you in!
i was just thinking this morning about a lot of the judicial meetings i was in over the years.
i was remembering how, if it involved immorality and a good looking sister, it would not be unusual for one of the elders to comment on that.
Snakes....I almost edited to add that the fat old sisters who dressed creatively were some of my best friends. But I got distracted and didn't get it done.
I did see the hotties getting counsel, I always thought they were easy on the eyes. Have to appreciate a beautiful person who knows how to dress to show it off. Didn't you feel safe knowing they were protecting you from yourself? How thoughtful.

has this economy been very tough on you and your family???.
how are you coping with high gas prices and the cost of living?
?.
I'm more worried about my future than I am my situation today. I have to start a new career, and after I get my mom in a nursing home, I will be financially on my own for the first time in my adult life. Where to go? What to do?

I remember hearing a sister tell me how they would ask for details about the immorality. Like "did he touch you there?". Sicko stuff. I think the good looking sisters get a bad rap. The fat old sisters who can barely squeeze into their dress, every buldge showing, cleveage hanging out, somehow that is okay, but get a looker in a tight dress and it's time for counsel.

people in the usa are changing their eating habits already, and their driving habits of course.
there are many fairly poor jw's in this country, many with no health insurance, old clunker cars and just barely getting by.
the cost of so many things is getting ready to explode, especially consumables.....all delivered by ship, train, plane, and truck.
For the first time in our lives we are missing the DC, and it feels GREAT
life is good momz......
This will be my third year. Just knowing what you are missing makes it so much more enjoyable!!! The memories of the stress and the money and the THREE days of DRY talks!!!! We had six kids in the early years, two hotel rooms, new dresses for the girls X 3 days, snacks, lunches, eating out, trying to keep the kids together in the evenings, trying to keep them from running wild in the hotel with their buddies (our kids were always up to trouble), just agreeing on where to sit, how to sleep the little ones.....YIKES, I'm done.
It is indeed a wonderful experience to miss.
