Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!

Hello......


I'm moving ahead.   I've missed you.   I've got a lot done since I last saw you.   Still, there's so much more to do.  Life goes on.   I wanted it to stop and wait for me, but noooo, it didn't.  I'm playing catch up, but at my own pace.  It keeps me sane.  Yes I'm not going crazy!   I have all the time in the world, yet I only have this moment.   So I wanted to stop in and say hello and thanks for all your thoughtful comments over the weeks since I've been gone.  Maybe I'll see you soon.

Peace

How wonderful to see a post honey. I have certainly missed you. You are right, time waits for no one. Enjoy each and every moment. We only get to ride this ride one time, so make the very best of it. Big hug and lotsa lovies. :)

Odat !!!!! Missed you too, but totally understand that life just have to take over sometimes. Going at your own pace is smart. Glad you came back to say hello, and will cyber-see you again when you are back :) ((HUGS))

Hi Odat!
I just happened by and here you were (I still don't use a reader- I'm an old-fashioned girl)

Great to see ya ~ I totally understand about the time.

See you again soon. ;-D

Well, just take it one day at a time!

Janna said...

Wouldn't it be nice if life had a "pause" button, where we could just take a moment to catch up when we needed to?

On a semi-unrelated note, I just did a post about Meloncutter. After his worrisome recent post, I emailed him to make sure he was ok.
As per his request, I'm letting people know.

I'm visiting everyone he's linked to in his sidebar, to help spread the word.

So nice to hear from you - I've missed your posts. But take all the time you need.

Welcome back.

Dianne said...

I think of you often. So nice to hear from you.

Echomouse said...

Something told me to check in and here you are!! It's so nice to see you back :)

I'm relieved too. When I was grieving, it was so hard to blog. Part of me wanted/needed to just shut it down. But that would have been the worst thing. I think it's important to keep connections where we have them, even during grief. Especially during something like that.

You don't have to post often or do what you've done in the past. Don't put that pressure on yourself. Just pop in here now and then. Even just to purge a bit.

We're all here for you. I can guarantee that. And I'm a newbie compared to the rest!! :)

Just take care of YOU, Odat. Only you know what is needed in your life right now. You are very much missed, and we'll all be here waiting for our next sighting of you, no matter how brief.

Sending big hugs.

Crankster said...

Hiya Odat!

Having taken my own vacation for the past few months, I didn't notice that you'd disappeared, too. I hope you're doing well and that life is giving you reasons to be optimistic.

Hugs and hugs and hugs,

Crankster

It's Alive!!! Alive!!! Miss me kid? Hell, you oughta... Old joke, don't know why I think it should be told here..
Old nun goes into doctor, says "I've been having problems down there(pointing to groin).. Doc says, "let's take a look".. After a breif exam he says "Sister, you got crabs.."She says, " That's not possible, I am a virgin, and have never even been in a public toilet".. Doc says he'll grab one of the critters and check.. He comes back and says; "I was wrong.. these aren't crabs.. they're fruit flies.. Your cherry has rotted!"
Get in the game agian, we need you!

buffs joke reminded me of the same nun that when she was told they had a case of gonorreah in the convent she said thank god I am so tired of drinking chablis...

Tease ;D

Jeff B said...

HEY!!!

How absolutely wonderful to hear from you again. I've thought of you often and hoped you'd come by and drop us a note at some point. How's that retirement treating ya? Does it feel right yet?

I've got a great big smile on my face now. Odat's checked in and is ok. Wahoooo!!

maryt/theteach said...

Oh d____, Odat! I didn't know you had posted! I was just over at Roger's and I saw he was on the phone with you when he was taking pix of scary places...am I right in that? So I checked back here and here you have a post from weeks ago! I'm so glad to hear from you!

buffalodick said...

Thanks for the post on my blog- Get off your lazy butt-strike that- lovely backside and come back with your batteries recharged and your sense of humour intact! You've never had more time to do it- I know!

the walking man said...

Enjoy the respite O!

heartinsanfrancisco said...

I just dropped by to say hello, and I hope you're having a good Sunday.

It's really hard to get through Mondays with no monkeys, though. I'm just saying.

You are missed, but no pressure.

Love and hugs to you!
