Just an update
« on: April 27, 2006, 05:07:18 PM »
Hi folks,
I haven't been posting much lately, until a flurry in the last day or two. I'm swamped (job hunt, current job, Ma needs more care since she got out of PT, daughter visited, and my back is whacked--seeing a surgeon in 2 weeks) but I'm reading faithfully. I notice it hurts not to be able to chime in sometimes!

But I feel a little as though my plug's been pulled and I don't have a lot of energy. I know that will pass. Meanwhile, just wanted to thank each and every one of you for being here...I learn from all of you. I am dazzled by the strength, wisdom and caring of this genuine community.

I have been thinking how I tend to zero in on qualities in others, both positive and negative, that I identify with myself. That's something I'd like to ponder more.

Who knows, I might be posting pages any minute now. But if I can't, just wanted to say hello and I am sending support. I'll be baaaaack.

love,
Hops

Hey Hop!
Take care of your back... I know that pain and it is awful! Do your stretches :)
We are thinking of you!
Love, Beth

Big hugs to you.... it is hard when we have a lot on in our lives to find the time.  I find that when I reply to this board, most of the time I like to really think about what I want to say and how the other person will perceive it, and it is very difficult when we can't find time to do that.

Ponder away also... pondering is good and if you want to share then there will always be an ear here to listen  :lol:

Take care of yourself hon.

Hiya Hops :D

Lovely to hear from you! You still ‘exist’ here to me even when you don’t post. I imagine you reading (and others I think about) and wonder what you think of it. I think ‘what would Hops say?’ and things like that.

Even when an extravert is not posting….they still exist as a member 8)! (taking Dorothy Rowe’s interpretation of how extraverts feel when under stress – that they start to ‘disappear’ – whereas introverts ‘fall apart’ or external reality falls apart, while they are still very much existing.) It might not be much of a consolation, but you’re always here in my mind!

Glad to hear you’re going to a surgeon, hope you get some help and that you can be back with a better back Ms. Arnie.

Take care ((((((Hops))))))

Thanks, everybody!
Today's my birthday, so I'm:

--off to the dentist  :(
--and then to a church retreat in the mountains, just hanging out in a lodge  :P

Catch up with you Sunday night, likely.
All those blue "NEW" spots will be great to come home to! :P

I am such a blatant hinter, and that's just what I wanted!
Happy cheery birthday words!

(I think bdays are one time when I can let my Nself rip w/o guilt...I just sit around feeling pleased with myself for having been clever enough to be born. Or I guess the truth really is, I enjoy liking myself on my bday.)

Thanks, guys, for helping me do that.

 :D
