I am so excited that this weekend will be a three day weekend, you just don’t know. Relaxing is the main goal, as I have had a tremendous amount of back pain that has not subsided in the least, which began last Friday. I just want it to go away!
I shall now commence my stretching in my office; thank god I don’t have a cubicle, because I am sure it would look strange with me slumped over on the floor!
As for the previous post, I appreciate much of your advice, but I just have to say that even though I don’t want to “punish” my nephew by not having a relationship with him, I also don’t want to make things difficult for me by forcing my way into the lives of people that show me continually that they don’t care about me. I have family that I love and care for, and even though I choose not to stay in touch with some of them, it doesn’t mean I don’t love them. My therapist continually tells me something that I believe to be more and more true each day: just because your parents are your parents, it doesn’t mean that they are necessarily the best people. They aren’t that bad, true, but they don’t treat me how I feel I should be treated, especially because I believe love shouldn’t have conditions.
I will figure out what the best route is for me, and I will take it. It is going to be a journey, and there may be some bumps along the way, but I will be the one taking it, and not letting it take me. For now, I am choosing to steer clear, and I feel confident that I doing what is best for me. Sometimes, you have to be selfish in order to find peace and happiness in your own life; and by god I am going to at least give that a go.
Aw. Sorry to hear of the back pain. I used to have bad back pain when I sat behind a desk all day. Let me know if you want to hear what my chiropractor told me to do…cause it worked
Hope your weekend is good!
tell me, tell me, tell me! I am just taking lots of naproxen sodium.
Luv ya baby, it was good talking to you this morning!!
I have plenty of relatives that I have nothing to do with. There was no drama, no fights - most of them live in different places - I just never see them. Does that bother me? No. I do know how to get in touch with most of them, and they know how to do the same. I will if I have to, but otherwise, I’m quite content with things just the way they are. My immediate family is another story - we are very close. Anyway, hope the back feels better and enjoy the long weekend.
Hi, you added me as a friend on Flickr.com under chillycub. Anyway, I’m so very intrigued about your webpage. I don’t have much webpage know-how, and only use Frontpage to build mine. How do you get a blog on your webpage and that title box that changes background pictures with each refresh/visit to your homepage?
I’ve learned Blood isn’t as Think as they claim. Loved ones don’t always know how to love you back.
And as time flows away, it only gets harder to communicate. So take time out today to say the words you’ve been meaning to say. Do not hesitate, tomorrow might just be too late. If your love is unconditional then don’t let conditions hold you back. Those phone calls on your Birthday were special even if they seemed small. But, if you don’t retun their call it’ll translate that you don’t love them at all.
(Stolen chorus from Superchick’s “We Live”)
“We live, We love, we forgive, and never give up
cause the days we are given are gifts from above
and today we remember to Live and to Love.
We live, We love, we forgive, and never give up
cause the days we are given are gifts from above
and today we remember to Live and to Love.”
I know dorky song. Just be glad you didn’t have to hear me sing it. My family can’t communicate worth shit either. Stress manifest itself in painful ways. Maybe you hold a lot of stress in your lower back. I think you need a massage, and a good cry like Dane Cook was talking about last night on his HBO special. “I did my best, I did my best, I did my best…”
“Let em fall baby fall, just like the rain washes it all, if the tears will help you to heal all that is real, all that is wrong, Let em fall baby fall.” Ryan Cabrera’s “Fall Baby Fall”
And if those words didn’t help then ::HUG:: I wish you a safe journey. It’s never easy and wouldn’t be worth your time if it was. What does not kill us prepares us for what’s coming next. ::wink::
