On My Mountain~~the light's on!

[Guest guest]

Deb,

Well, we have two houses and an RV---the rest would just have to bring their

tents and/or sleeping bags!!! Or stay with my Mom or sisters.

Let's see, I could get my nephew to bring his band over to entertain us with

some blue grass, southern rock, and religious music.

Can probably round up a few four wheelers.....then there's always the golf

cart!

We could just have a howl-in-good-time!

A good ole fashioned ho-down!

And, to tell ya the truth, we would love having the company!

So, if anyone out there thinks I am joking----NOT!

When Mom had her trailer next door to me she told me I couldn't howl at the

moon unless she was not at home---'cause it would scare her too much!

I have also been through some really bad depressions--and really have gone

outside and sat on the porch or on the deck and howled at the moon!

At different times in my life I have gone to therapy, tried low dosage

anti-depressants and really fell in love with the nerve calming effects of B

complex vitamins!

After " The Tornado " of 1994, I also became almost a total hermit--didn't do

much of anything except work in the yard. Yardwork was a very good therapy

for me, too.

And, the therapist I started going to about a year after the tornado pointed

out the fact that I was the only person I know who did not think I was a

success. That was the point where I finally realized I could handle it and

didn't need him anymore.

Then, more recently, therapy again came to the rescue to help me thru the

grieving process.

The hardest thing for me has always been when I could not " fix " the problems

around me. I always want to make thing better and sometimes there is nothing

I can do to fix whatever is wrong. That is what has always been so very hard

for me to accept---heck, I'm not Wonder Woman---I just wanted to be able to

do some of the things Wonder Woman could do!

Yeah, I'll be the first to admit that I am probably a little warped but, I am

more comfortable with myself than I have ever been in the past.

And, my " fix-it " side would really love to fix all of your problems and take

away the sickness and stress in your lives. And if I WERE Wonder Woman, I

would do just that.

Instead, I will lend you my heart to wipe up those tears with and ease the

tension a little in your shoulders. Or maybe, just use it to bop that hubby

over the head to make him " wake up " and smell the roses-----All 65 of

them!!!!!

Keep your chins up and remember you can stress out whenever you want with

this group.

My heart's a little tattered but it goes out to all of you!

Love,

Aunt B
