Good morning Thalia, I know I haven't been consistent with our connectionsover time, but, inspite of this, I have always very much valued the times
we have shared with different things we post about.
So I am just wanting to let you know that in case this site, along with
many other ning sites does come to a close, and you would like to keep
in touch, then http://merrymeetwicca.ning.com/ is where I can be found,
even though I am still very busy being involved with both daughters
and their hectic lives they lead these days. I kind of act like my lollipop
has been whisked away from me when I cannot sit and do what I want
on my puter, LOL! Keep well and healthy my friend - Hugzzz!

Your haiku touched me, as they always do, Thally.
I'm alone as well. But like you, I'm celebrating with those I love even though they are no longer here in the flesh.
Hope for renewal indeed.
Love and hope never die, do they?
XOXOXOXOXOXOX

It's ironic, Thally. I had checked on you earlier today. Then, just a few minutes ago, I visited the haiku group and responded to your heart-wrenching haiku. It seems you've had another loss. I'm so very sorry.
Then I went to my page and saw that you had written. To be in your thoughts means a lot to me--thank you.
Don't worry too much about being in "the distance," Thally. We all need closeness at times and solitude at times. And TBD is particularly tolerant of wanderers...
Love to you and hope for happy days ahead.
XOXOXOX

I understand so well, Thally. I've been in much the same place you have. I suppose it's often a side effect of surviving into the--hahahah--"golden years," when so many of the people and abilities we love and treasure have drifted away on the mist.
Solitude and even loss have their place, but too much is just damned depressing.
So don't feel badly about "hibernating"-- a lot of us do it.
I'm glad to see you whenever I see you.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX A.

I envy and admire you, Thally, for downsizing. It's a freeing and often somewhat scary thing to do. I can only imagine the ups and downs.
I'm eager to sell my home, divest myself of 95% of my possessions, and build a little prefab "pod" with solar panels and an exterior that's impervious to anything but a direct hit by a nuclear warhead. :>) Unfortunately, our real estate prices haven't recovered enough yet.
I felt a flutter when you mentioned throwing out photo albums. You're so right, though, we carry the real memories in our hearts.
I hope you had a wonderful Easter too. I look forward to hearing about your adventure as it progresses.

It is wonderful to hear that your new home with it's breath of fresh energy has been a good thing! I love to move and have always found it a boost. And the paring down you did was sure to make room for new possibilities!
Your Thanksgiving sounded fabulous! There's nothing like a day filled with happiness, fellowship, gratitude, and sharing! That you served food at the Summit Center with your daughter had to have been a great shared experience. My family did such things on holidays, and so on. Helping makes special times rich and complete, don't you think?
I can't believe it's almost Christmas! I hope there are more joyful holiday times ahead for you. I'm not on TBD that much either, so if I don't see you--MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

A guid New Year tae ane and a’, an mony may ye see!
HAPPY HOGMANAY!
Lang may yer lum reek! (Long may your chimney smoke.) It's a tradition in Scotland to take, among other items, a piece of coal with you when visiting friends and family on New Year's Eve. The coal is placed on the fire as a wish for the hosts’ long life, prosperity, warmth, and good cheer.
I have no coal, so here’s a wee dram of Scotch for its warming effect, and to convey the same wishes.
May 2015 bring you everything your heart desires, Thally.

Suzan (Dyslexic Dodger) told me the news about Aaron after she read it on Facebook, Thally. I'm so sorry for the ordeal he's going through, and you and the family as well, and I'm praying for you all as I type. I know, however, that Aaron's fabulous positive attitude, strength, and determination, backed up by the love, prayers, and support of friends and family, will go a long way toward healing him as well and as quickly as possible. I have absolute faith in that.
If you need a place to vent, just write--I understand so well how taxing keeping it together can be.
Tidal waves of love and prayers flowing constantly to Aaron and you. I'll get my friends on the prayer wave as well.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX A.

I'm so glad to hear Aaron's spirits are high in the face of the challenges ahead. Of course, as your son, I would expect that. I know you have all rallied around him and are there whenever he needs a hug or a laugh. That is so important.
Be sure to take care of yourself through this, thally. It's so easy to totally forget one's own needs.
My love and best wishes continue to flow your way. You're gonna need a storage room for them pretty soon! :>)
XOXOXOXOXOX A.

I'm also relieved that you're so pleased with the nursing facility he's in--that personal care and concern will help his healing and get him ready for rehab. I'm praying for him every day.
I didn't know you were involved in AA. I've only attended 1 meeting, but have a long history with Alanon, and hold both organizations in high regard. Was the convention fun?
In contrast, a hip replacement does NOT sound fun--LOL--although you'll probably love the results. I agree wholeheartedly about the "golden years" being one big bunch of BS!!!!! I can't be quite as kind about it as you... :>)
I'll trade all the golden years for another crack at 22!
Hope you have something fun and frivolous planned for Independence Day. Whatever it is--stick a few sparklers in it.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX me

HOOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAYYYY!!! Working hips!!! That is a good gift!!
And the weeks of enforced rest sound like a good thing too, if they allow you to write and not feel guilty about taking the time. :>) I just reread "Save A Place For Me," and, once again, it brought tears to my eyes. Anyone who can capture the heart's yearning in words needs to write. That means you, thally.
I had always felt empathy for the lonely, the lost, and anyone struggling to walk through empty or dark places with grace. It wasn't until my son died, however, that I truly learned what it is like to be there. And, as we've said before, aging ain't no picnic. Your words are an oasis.
Have you gathered your poems together and published them, thally? What a blessing that would be for your children as years go on? If you haven't, I've used www.blurb.com to compile some of my fractured haiku for loved ones, and it's been a good experience with a great result. The software is free and relatively easy to use. And you can create as many or as few copies as you wish--there's no particular volume requirement. You might want to give it a try.
I'm so glad your Christmas was good and that everyone is doing well. I look forward to up-to-date pictures and news on Aaron's progress and all the rest when you have time after New Year's Day.
Lots of love to you and yours, precious one.

Happy New Year, Thally!
Seeing your words on my page made me happy. Your words always do!
I'm so glad to hear that Aaron continues to heal, and that the rest of your beautiful family is doing well, with many accomplishments of which to be proud. Cool that you're still working--keeping fully active is definitely one of the secrets to staying young.
Life here is much the same. I'm still kickin'. :>)
I'm sending my love to you and your family, dearest friend, and copious good vibes for a fabulous 2017!
