Missing friends
i suppose giving 8 years to a Camp as an office manager would make people want to go back and visit. Two of my best friends, Craig and Brinkley are there probably wondering where I am at; not knowing that it is a certain “him” which keeps me away. It isn’t a him you would have a crush on but just the opposite a man who wears a collar who has too much power. That rhymes! Maybe in time I will be the kind of writer I want to be.
Why do old jobs haunt us? I haven’t taken the time to go back to any of the jobs which made me to be a lot of what I am. I often think of the beautiful song by Rascal Flatts, Moving On. It speaks so much truth in my life.
Im thinking a good shower, some make-up, and such will make me feel better. What am I scared of is that my old friends come up here before going back home 🏡 to Minnesota and I’ll be in my usual wardrobe of panties, an old navy tee, and socks which is controlling the old lady weight retention.
Writing is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst suffering. Paulo Coello
One of the best writings of all time wrote this and many other quotes. Along with someone who can write great quotes is one who can write great books. This quote above is taken from By the River Piedra I sat down & wept. To me his best book was The Alchemist which I hold dearly to my ❤️ heart.
As I travel through my mind I can find scripture which backs up my thoughts to scripture. Read Isaiah 53:3-12-He was despised & forsaken of men. A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like me from whom men hide their face. He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely Our griefs He Himself bore. And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken……
Writing
What helps the creative juices? You guesssed it… no antidepressants! I quit about a month ago, don’t feel any different! I’m writing though.
Im writing my Father’s adopted daughter who didn’t tell me he had died! She wanted me to get my $10,000 & get the hell out of dodge but I’m not that easy. She can’t bring herself not to read the words.
The second is a book of quotes and inspirations which can or cannot be relative to the Bible. They write about how I feel because I think Jesus travel and talked to the eastern philosophers because the red letter items in the Bible are so close to their thoughts! I’m using the Ragamuffin Bible which will keep us all on course,
I am writing here so let me know what you think? If you find errrors please let me know because I don’t know if I think faster than I write or type or if I type and write much faster than I think.
CoDependent No More
After another episode of having my 35-year old drug addicted son I realize I really can’t control anyone but myself and the way I react to it. He comes out of jail professing to be a true Christian and then tries to turn my home upside down. He is good at that and I just can’t do it anymore. I put him out of the house. He lives with his aunt now who is doing him no favors at all because she isn’t going to flow through the plan of not allowing him to face his consequences. There’s just no use in trying to help someone who doesn’t help himself. He reminds me of my absent Father…not worth the time.
Too many nights of being an enabler
No more can I put up with a son who is addicted to drugs and prisons with bars. I can’t do it anymore. Codependency No More is second to my Bible and following a close third is The Tao of Inner Peace. There is no peace with a son who can’t follow rules. I will not save him anymore or watch the fake tears run down his cheeks.
How many have this problem and want solutions? I don’t want to go to ALNON and listen to others who have the same problems. What’s the solution? Is there anything, anybody worth living for; tell me the answer.
Codependent No More
As some of you enter this century full of Mothers and Fathers taking antidepressants trying to recover from what your grown children are doing or have done to you; I do press the fact of reading books to help you recover from these episodes of drug addicted grown kids who seek no help! There only help is to be in jail where they become addicted to jailhouse religion and come out and do it again. I am no longer going to be bounded to this son I’ve given birth to just because he came out of my vagina!! I give up. It’s time to look for another place to live and get out of the city which traps us all. I won’t let him know where I live or anything. Am I harsh? No, not after he’s been in jail over half of his life. He claims, “I’ve got God now.” Then asks for the keys to the church so he can rob the poor givers of their money. No more. Stay tuned for more of the same. If you are fighting the same thing please comment.
Really too good to be true
I will be waiting to see if anyone wants any responses to a 59 year old writer living at home with two dogs, a husband, and a 34 year old son. I can’t wait to put up my second posts on this BLOG and see how it goes. Who couldn’t live with a few extra bucks here and there.
Thanks,
Diane
