Thanks David. I was pretty upset about it all. But, time has passed and the heart dulls in its aftermath.......Or so they say....  I am sitting at another sort of cross road now. My sister, Pat, has finally told me that my brother in law is not doing very well. She said he is getting more feeble all of the time....She wants me to try to go see them this Christmas.....I feel like I have made a complete circle here. If I do not go and he doesn't make it another year, I would have to live with it for the rest of my life...If I go, I will be tired and sore and spend most of my week traveling there and back. I just read what I wrote above and I guess I will be in Texas for Christmas. Sam |

Oh, my stars...Just caught up to what happened the last of April in your part of the world, Sam. I am thankful you, Linda and the rest of your friends are okay...
It's sad that being so helpful to others, being the good Samaritan, can backfire in such a horrific way...Sad that people that help others, can often be hurt in return as a result of helping others...
I feel in the future, you should be more circumspect about helping others...I know...I know...
That sounds hardhearted on my part...But, I know you don't have much to begin with and you need to look out for Sam...For Sam and for your friends, like me...Okie dokie?
Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law's illness...Don't know which part of Texas you will be in come December, but who knows? Perhaps, we shall be able to arrange a little get together of our own...
Thanks for what you said in the "sword swallower" thread...Between you and David, ya'll managed to right my listing to the left emotions...
Take care of you, ya hear now? Love, Sabrina.

I have enrolled today in an Advanced Fiction Writing class!! Yeah! I start back mid August. I also put in for time off over Christmas break so I can go to Texas to join my sister and brother in law. I am really looking forward to seeing them.... I will miss the grandbabies Santa Claus, but I have to go home. We are at a time in our lives when we have to see each other now as often as we can and lock away memories for times to come.....hopefully far away times. Adios, Sam |

Well, so far the instructor is B-ing me to death. I can not figure out how to get an A out of him, yet. Sam |

I will tell you, as I tell my daughter: if you've done the best you can and you know this in your heart, the grade doesn't matter...Besides, a "B" is nothing to take lightly...Plus, your instructor could be suffering an attack of earwigs...Gout of the brain...Or, perhaps, he's not a teacher, at all... Just an escapee from the looney bin masquerading as a teacher...Learn what you can from the old phart and write on...It's not the grade he gives you that matters, in the long run...It's what you take with you out of the class and apply to the honing of your craft, that matters...imho...But, of course, I just managed to get out of my straighjacket, so, what do I know? ?? I know I miss David... |

Again, it feels wonderful to be here with all of you. I get lost in myself sometimes. (?) My brother in law had open heart surgery three weeks ago and seems to be doing fine! I am very grateful to my Higher Power. It was hard to be so far away and unable to do anything to help. (I hate that). So....the power of prayer is strong to me. I miss you all, Sam I have a "Lot" of reading to catch up on. |

Getting lost in ourselves, happens to the best of us, sweets! Super treat to see you here. As you know, you and your poetry have been missed!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your b-in-laws surgery. But, it paths the way for a healthier life for him.
Yes, you do have much catch up reading to do, young lady! New members to check out, too!
(((((((((Sharon)))))))))

a good clearing out. a good cleaning... a letting go of what is so firmly white knuckled gripped in the hand...taking time, listening...more and more listening and trying to put the prejudices to bed from tradition, history, culture, upbringing and all that....just a simple room...making room for redefining IT all anew...
I feel that after having had IT at one time...losing IT does not ever allow you to find what was....but what is, what is, it is my hope that this is something I can truly define, rewrite, walk with and become in my own way....then, losing IT might be the best thing that has ever happened to everyone, when maybe they let IT go so that it does not get in the way of what I AM and what I CAN BE.....
