    The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!FOR JULY WITH A BLAST

    THANK YOU ALL!!!!

    Hi there sports!

    I?m sorry I don?t post right back, but it?s due to our time difference. I?m 8 to 10 hours ahead of you, depending on which part of the country you live in.

    Let me start by saying a huge THANK YOU to all of you. To each and everyone of you who are so amazingly wonderful!! I owe you so much!! It was the first time in my life that I had the strength to admit to my weaknesses, to not feel ashamed and to finally be able to get it all out. This is a big step for me and one that I totally OWE to all of you.

    Ringing, I believe that the relationship between a father and a daughter is a very important one. Lots have been written about how women, end up somehow in their lives, finding a spouse or a companion to their father?s image. It?s a very good thing you are reunited with your father. I might not know the whole story, but, just the fact that you?re there with each other, should at least make you feel good enough, in order to overcome the fact that you can?t be with him all the time. I would love to know more about you.
    Thank you for asking about Minna. I have raised her with my lovely parents? help and she has turned out to be a very well balanced young lady. She?s now 14 and things have been kind of difficult lately, due to the simple fact of her being a teenager. Boy, that?s hard?!

    I will call on you guys on the subject of ?mothering a teenager?, since a lot of you ladies here,have been through that and your opinion is very precious to me. Minna is a very good student and very good in athletics, since I made it a point to push her into that direction, mainly because of my fear that she might get involved in substances. I thought it would be good to help her love sports in general, instead, of hanging out and doing whatever. I kept her busy with Karate and dancing. I?m very proud of her and her performance so far. She?s recently got a first place in Greek Championship Games in Karate and all her instructors congratulated me on her character and her sports ability! Yeaah, I?m bragging right now. But, I do have A LOT of unresolved issues, since my drinking never went unnoticed by her..! She?s very angry at me and I don?t think she?ll ever forgive me about that? IT IS VERY HARD TO BE A PARENT AND AN ALCOHOLIC AT THE SAME TIME, WITHOUT HAVING TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. I?m trying????????..

    Sunshine, thank you so much, my dear sweet friend, for reading my story. I also thank you and everybody else here, who has made a comment on my writing skills. I never thought about writing, but I will take your advice into consideration. I?ll skype you tomorrow, as long as you tell me which part of the States you live in, because the times we can chat are limited, due to the time difference. But, I would love, absolutely love, to chat with you. Let me know, will you?

    My sweet Jan, thank you for thinking about and thank you for reading my story. Your input is very much needed and, yes, I did read Rog?s story. His story, gave me the last bit, and the most stubborn one, of the strength I needed to post and share my life story with you. Lots of love to you, you?re ONE strong lady. I admire you!!

    Nora, I just can?t believe it!? WOW, isn?t it amazing??? How small this world is!!! I?m sure you know Bruce?s restaurant on Imperial Hwy. I heard that Powerine was shipped to India, is that right? Love you sweetheart.

    Fen, my dear friend, thank you so much for being there and for reading my story. It means a great deal to me.

    Lots and lots of love and hugs to Vicki and Ruby. I just absolutely love you ladies.

    Love you all,
    Effie

      I've had a very busy couple of days, obviously. Hubs I guess decided he had some kissing up to do, so he waited patiently (something very hard for him!) this morning while I showered and dressed, then we took the little beemer and went riding. We ended up at a steak restaurant he loves, though he offered to go to a seafood place first that I like. It didn't matter to me, but I appreciated the gesture. Then we stopped by the grocery, where he insisted we buy shrimp and crab to make at home tomorrow night. While in the store, one of my favorite former tenants came up to us and hugged me, then told me his wife has been in the hospital for 2 months. They have 3 little girls, the oldest 17. Sheri has had a recurring problem with polyps, and she had a large one in her brain. She can no longer walk, and has difficulty with speech, coordination, etc. Hubs saw a bucket full of sunflowers when we started to check out, and he told me to pick out some to give the husband to take her. I told him when I handed them to him Hubs doesn't buy me flowers, so tell her she's VERY special. She's still having brain swelling, and had to have an emergency shunt put in to drain the fluids. These are wonderful, hardworking, Christian people, so for all of you who believe in miracles, please pray for her. She needs all the good will she can get. I hope to get by their house soon and take them dinner.
      I'll check back in with everyone later. My laptop is messed up, and I miss it SO much!

          Thank you, hon. There's real power in prayer. I wish there were more good people in the world like them, and I feel a bit like they are my children. I gave them their first home, and they were so terrific. They were able to finally buy their own home, and they were SO proud to finally own they sent me pictures of it! It's tenants like them that keep me going in the rental business.

              Effie - one thing I can say and your daughter needs to know is that you never ever judge anyone until you have walked in their shoes. I do not judge. I never have. I can't. I don't know what it is like for others - for what they are going through. It is so hard for teens - or anyone for that matter, to know what it is like for what people go through. I get so angry when people judge others without knowing what they are going through. They have no right to do so. I have always thought that when people say that others should or shouldn't do this or that - how do they know - they have NOT been there. It isn't often I get on my soap box but it is one thing I really feel strongly about. Do not judge others until you have been there!!!!

              I am feeling sort of down. I suppose I would not have posted what I did above otherwise. I hate when people judge others. We are all the same under the outer layer of skin. Doesn't matter what we feel, think, see, say, what colour we are, religion we are, sex we are - any of the above. We are all humans and we should love each other because of that. Not for any other reason. I have seen stuff in the past few days that has upset me because one has not been of the right ethnicity or the right gender - or been gay, and it just gets the hackles up on my back. WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS. I am sorry everyone - I know this is not the Sunny that you all know - it has been a very hard week for me with one thing and another and I suppose I just needed to vent. I know I can do that here. I Just am feeling really bummed right now. I think I might just go and crawl under my duvet cover until it is time to come out for work.

              Thank you all for listening to my rant. Maybe I should just delete the whole thing - it won't make any difference anyway.

              Love Sun XX

              P.S. Sorry I am not being the Sunny you all know

                Hey Sunni - You don't have to be any certain way for us. We love you. :l I'm sorry that you are having hard times. I know that you have been down lately. You need to come here & talk instead of holding it in. :h
