One Step at a Time - December 2013

Casey took me out on a surprise tonight. We went to 'Chill - Queen Mary'.
It was so much fun. I just never do anything anymore and he has taken me out twice in the past week. We had a blast. I even went down an ice slide.
Everything was made out of ice sculptures. It was so cold in there but they give you parkas to wear. It was 9 degrees. But, the parka kept me warm. My face was sure cold though.

Hey Alls....you don't sound like a smart ass at all. I think a lot of people stay in bad relationships.
Nora...that sounds like a blast!!! And it was good to talk to you. We should do that more often,
Up early, not hungover and heading to the grocery later. Then dinner with Pop and Nana, which can be unpleasant.
Good job DOttie. Ruby Willow used to say that she is good with shovels and bleach when we all bitched about our men!!

My doggies are here with me....nope buddies of the human kind are very few..one of the down sides to all the isolating I did while drinking...and I never have made friends easily...and onlychldism I am afraid..

Dottie - it's the same with me. Very few friends. And, I never made them easily either.

Same with me Dottie and Nora, few friends and I don't make them easily either. Do I see a pattern here?

[Dottie Belle]

One Step at a Time - December 2013

Yep Lizann I see the pattern too....I made wine my only friend..need to catch up quickly..and cultivate the few friends I have.

I have no problem making shallow acquaintances since I deal with the public but striking a true friendship is absolutely, incredibly hard and rare. My goal for 2014 is to reach out to the real people I have common interest with. No more time for fakes.

Mama,

Thanks for mentioning Ruby. She was a real foundation on this site when I first arrived. She was kind, thoughtful and she was unduly treated like shit by a small few which made her decide to forget about this place. I hope she's doing well, do you keep in contact with her?

Alls - I keep in touch with Ruby. She's going thru a hard time right now. Her FIL is very ill/dying. I will let her know that you asked after her. I know it will make her happy.

Good morning , my sweet peeps. :l

Been buried a bit but just so glad to have all of you to be with- Dottie, Alls, Mama, Nora, Liz, Pauly, K9 et al...isn't it funny how we all are in the same social boat....not many face to facers out there but in here I feel so comfortable, cherished...no trouble at all making friends :l

No feeling like shit, pauly. It is one step at a time and its your, personal steps...your very own! No guilt here....You too Mama! :h

I have also given in a bit...nothing crazy but of course...not what I want in the long run either. I'm up way early this morning. I've been juicing a lot and my level of energy is pretty insane. Should come in handy as I'm taking the plunge tomorrow and getting the girls two little kitties...yes, I know don't say it....One More Thing On the Plate!

Be back....there's the dog at the door!

Good morning all,
Reading above about being isolated and hard to make or allow friends in, I totally share that feeling. Yes there definitely seems like a pattern, so how am I going to change that? Well decided that despite having a treadmill at home I have decided to get my ars back in gear and get out of the house and go to my local gym to at least expose (No not that way) myself to people more than I have in the past.
I am off to NY on the 30th for a few games of Checkers, and goal for 2014 is to keep taking it one step at a time.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season and thank you all for 2013 as it has made a difference.
