Azure, I'm sorry to hear about your dog's leg! And btw, your dog is so darling.....
Sorry about the low day. Sounds like me yesterday; today was better. You know the drill; it will improve. Two parties tomorrow? A possible eligible person? Sounds good to me....hope tomorrow's better for lots of reasons.
Prayers and thoughts gladly flowing regarding your BIL.
Azure, I agree with others here. Take care of yourself. Keep us posted on BIL's sitch. Hope your dog is okay. Ron

Hey Azure~ You, your dog, your BIL and your H are in my prayers!
I know it is hard to know what to do for H in this sitch. I remember when H's uncle had a heart attack...The D was almost final and I wasn't really part of the family anymore so I really didn't understand what my role should be. I ended up telling H if he needed to talk, I was "there". He actually took me up on it once!
Follow his lead....you are a good friend to him!!

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.... (thoreau)
Today I had a good talk with a friend on the phone, chatted with my neighbors, went and met a friend's new pup. Mid-day I went to a party where I knew no one, except the host and hostess who I met once , two years ago. I thought this was particularly brave of me (POINTS!). Fortunately, it was a nice crowd. [Although there was a little boy there who looked just like H! Kind of freaked me out. I tried not to stare at him.] Came home, did a little art project, wrote in my paper journal, did laundry, wrote an email back to the musican/friend-of-a-friend guy. Went to my neighbor's house to feed their cats while they're away, watched some Olympic trials. Still worried about BIL and also my dog. Thank all of you so much for your kindess. It keeps me going!
Oh, wrote a short email to H (although I'm not sure he'll get it if he's away on this fishing trip): Hi H, I guess you are off on your trip. I hope you got to have some alone time with your mom on Friday. This all must be so incredibly difficult. I hope you are getting good emotional support. Spending time in beautiful nature may be the best thing for you right now. Take care of yourself, Azure
Azure, Sounds like a good day. So you have a new friend, Huh? Good for you. Maybe it will help in some small way. I'm happy for you as you branch out. LOL in whatever you do, and I wish you continued patience and strength, to keep on going. You're doing good. Hugs to you, Rae Jean P.S. Make sure that you check out Ron's thread today.
Azure, You are doing so well it's amazing. I don't have near the problems you do and I'm falling apart. I continue to pray for you, BIL, dog, and H. I'm sure you will vast improvements in your sitch day by day.
I'm happy that you had a good day Sunday. Reflect on that when you feel down. Remember you have a lot of friends out here. I hope you have a great Mon.
Azure, You are doing well considering. Keep it up. Perhaps you are doing more good for your R than you realize just now. It is hard to know without feedback. But don't let that stop your good efforts. Ron
