My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

I'm sorry. bitter is unattractive. depressed is repulsive. and probably I shouldn't post when I'm feeling this way, but it's more of a vent than looking for a quick fix.

yeah, one find out who one's true friends are at a time like this. and what that tells me is--they're gone. time to start over.

uh--yeah, I spent almost 7 years in pastoral ministry, being there. making sure people weren't alone when they were anguished. walking in when everyone else is walking out. I didn't do it to get something back, you understand, but still...not even wanting a friendly shoulder to lean on, I'd settle for a little company, a cup of coffee together occasionally. and no, had anyone reached out yesterday I would not have talked about how miserable I was, but just lightness, well wishes, thankfulness for them in my life.

contact with blood family--thank goodness for facebook. reconnected with a cousin I didn't know I had. my dad was one of 12, so there are a lot of them out there--but he died in 1967, and my mom in 1978, and we weren't all that close before that. wish we had been, but we weren't.
