Wow, it looks like it's time to wrap up another thread and begin a new one. I have to say that I'm really pleased at the topics that are being discussed here at the apartment. People drop in and throw out good food for thought... and I think it's great for all of us.
For any new folks to Piecing, Meredith, Pamela and I are shacking up. We welcome our visitors and I'm sure we'll be here for awhile... at least until NBC decides to have a series finale. Not tonight though!
I last left off with PIB about setting boundaries. The type of boundaries that are not directives or trying to control someone else, but the type that are things we have considered and decided are too important to pretend they aren't bothering us.
I figure I'm getting plenty of practice putting this into action.
I just received bad news from a former neighbor and friend. A very good friend of ours (Mr. Wonderful's and mine) was just diagnosed with advanced stages of liver cancer and is not expected to live much longer. He just turned 55.
It really bums me out.
But it also drives home a point that life is worth living--not psychoanalyzing to death. I decided to get out of my painful world and start reconnecting with friends who have been important but left behind because I didn't want to deal with thoughts of my estranged Mr. W.
It's now time to jump head first back into my life and quit looking backward.
