Goodness me, what a fuss. have you all forgotten what today is? Valentines Day!!!!!! I have a really hot date tonight with a frisky young tom from down the street and at my age I needed to spend at least a week in the beauty parlour.... Well, can't a girl have any privacy in this town...Got myself in a bit of a cat fight as well last week... Lost a few claws, so needed a very expensive manicure, decided to get the old claws painted in the latest colour as well... What do you think??
Just hope this young tom kept his appointment with the vet a few months ago, swears he did, well time will tell...
Now, on a more serious note, we log on here each day and either pour our hearts out to everyone, or, support those who are going through a very hard time, but the end result of all this, is, words.... Words of love, compassion, support, words of laughter, joy and wisdom, words of pain, anger and hurt...Right, this is the last thing I will say on the subject of what happened last week... Certain words were said by a new member which hurt me dreadfully and left me feeling very wounded... I had two choices, keep those words in my head and consequently keep the pain alive or work on letting them go, I choose the latter, those words have gone now... In a way I wish to thank that member because in posting what they did it made me realise I'm still a lot more vunerable than I thought I was and following that thought to its logical conclusion, it must apply to a lot of people on here, they come across as strong in their posts, but, one wrong word can be the bullet which will cause them pain... That is something which I for one will try to remember in future when posting on here.. Oh, and the name of that " new " member, it was believe it or not Valentine....It was their first post, and its funny, but, I haven't seen any more posts from them since....Mind you, for a first post that was pretty strong stuff and it really hit hard... First posts from new members usually fall into two groups, either, I'm so happy I've found this place or, I feel disgusted with myself for drinking....But, not that one.....
Then paranoia took over, because of an incident last year when a member posted on here using two or three different user names and they caused a lot of mischief I started to think that was happening to me, someone who had been here for awhile, registered with another name just to post those comments...Then of course, once that snowball starts to tumble down the mountains of your mind it just gets bigger and bigger and you imagine all sorts of things, but, I had allowed those thoughts to take root and grow, well I also had the power to get rid of them and as I said, they are now gone...
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone for there PM's.. To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement...We log on here each day and hope we can find some help for ourselves and in doing so that we can then reach out and help others in return, but I didn't realise I had so many good friends here, so from the bottom of my heart I say
There are two people though whom I would like to single out, the first is that silver tongued gentleman of the Boards FAN, thank you Fan for your words yesterday, they really did soothe my ruffled fur, and as it is Valentines day, just for you, please accept the following,
The second person, who just wouldn't give up on me is LORISUNSHINE, she came and battered my front door down and I knew I was never going to get rid of her, for that Lori I thank you and I would like to send you a whole field of sunshine,
By the way Lori, the bill for a new front door is also on its way to you...
So, thats about it really, I'm back, feeling stronger, claws manicured and sharpened and open for business..
