The End of a Bad Time

10/18/2017

1 Comment

 
I am finally coming to the end of a "bad time" in my life. Unfortunately, I have had a few over the 70 years of my life, so I always remain hopeful for the end to come. I guess you can call me an optimist, but I am sure the new friends I have made, recently do not know this. Some of the new ones have only known me a short time and do not know my history of shooting myself in my foot, repeatedly.

​I read a description of a Sagittarius on Facebook and it was pretty right one. It said I always "leap" into something without fully knowing what will happen. Pretty much true, as my old friends know. Note old friends, my marriages.

​Now that October is on its way to Halloween, I am "picking up" a little. I love Halloween as much as a child does. It is a time to Pretend you are someone else, or something else. It is a time when some adults get to pretend again and have fun like a child - innocent belief. That is me.

​​Next comes Thanksgiving and Christmas and even though I am now alone, I celebrate by cooking for both events, much as I would do for the loved ones of long ago. I always invite anyone who has nowhere to go on these holidays and sometimes I have people who take me up on the offer. If not, I have a lot food left over, but I am "fixed up" with meals for a long time after. (I just have to heat up and NOT COOK.)

​It is a given that the holidays are coming, and I plan to get in the "party" mood. And I probably will be posting more on my blog since I will be living my life, such as it is, again. I thank those of you who have been with me through this and many of you who have been "along for ride" since I started this website.

​See you next post.

I am glad to see that you are coming out of a period of darkness in your life. My brother lives on social security so I have seen at first hand the many problems you have had to face.

I believe you are a strong person and will somehow prevail against the storm that has beset you.
