re Jac, our horsewoman, ex-cop, from ceep

[Guest guest]

Concerned, you betcha!

And, regretfully, a bit out of touch myself (though nothing untoward here).

Next time you speak with Jac, pls send my love, too.

Thanks for letting us know,

Steve

Ceep,

Thanks so much for keeping in touch w/us about Jac. I have been

thinking a lot of her and would not like to lose her in this group.

I am still here, albeit, silent. That's a big plus, for you all. My emotions

right now are in chaos. Ceep Mom called me, and soothed my soul. And I went

to Memphis this past weekend to sit and think with another friend who

comforts me with her devotion, to me and to God. Keltie called me. And I

realize how very blessed I am, to have found this group, and to have made

the friends that I have made. I'm still emotional. I miss my DH more than I

ever thought I could. I hate being alone, although I have been alone most of

my life. I got home from Memphis, and found that my roof is leaking, again,

and I have to figure out how to fix it before my ceiling caves in. I can do

this. Breathe deeply.

I run my business. I care for my horses. I do my rescue work. I do my Elks

Lodge work. I try to sleep at night. I talk in my sleep. I knew I did. I

wake myself up with my conversations. But my niece told me yesterday, " You

know, you are very interesting. I learned a lot about you last night... "

Breathe deeply. Eat a pickle. Just get on with life. Quit complaining. Quit

criticizing. And count my blessings. You all are among my blessings. I love

you all. I just need some quiet time.

Jac

Silly thought, have you considered cutting back on your activities. I know,

just sitting back is hard for you high energy types, but you really do not

have to have so much going on. oxoxox

[Guest guest]

LOL. I didn't think I had so much going on. I thought I was just filling up

space in my life right now. You might be right.

Hey, welcome back Jac. I am glad you had a good time with your friend in

Memphis. You were wise to tke a well deserved break. Its ok to talk in your

sleep.

its just a release valve for the pressure you are under. Dont worry about

that. In this case, it is a good thing to be doing, likely.

Your body, your hubby, your animals, your roof. Those are the priorities.

Everything else is somewhere down that long neverending list most women keep....

lol

When my husband was on the many assignments and exercises with the Air Force

over his 21 years of service, I started sleeping in his shirts (enormous) ;

then I started wearing his jeans (way too tall---grin) and finally I wore his

stetson (way too big) and his garden boots (huge) around. I looked like the

raggedy girl of the universe... grin. Everyone thought I WAS insane. I would

smell his cologne at night before I went to bed, open the the little container

of

the butch wax he used on his hair. and leave it on the bedside table where I

could smell it all night long. it comforted me. it didnt change things. it

comforted me. Do whatever you want/need to comfort yourself Jac. The longing for

your man is beautiful. It is your concern about him that makes that longing

feel so tense. But, the yearning is pure and good in and of itself.

Like you with your work volunteering to help others, I think that helps

immensely also. We have a program here where we can help young army wives,

usually

first time mothers who are giving birth while their husbands are away. We

become birth coaches and go through whole pregnancy with them, including

delivery,

It is a balance to everything else.

I dont think, incidentally, that when we get to heaven, that God is going to

give us stars for beng superhuman, but for being as he created us, tender and

human and filled with love. As you are. As you have always been Jac.

love,

ceep gmom

Evil ceep sends her regards too. Her main advice (she's not very

sophisicated) " Keep those pickles coming Jac. "

[Guest guest]

I am very glad to see you posting again Jac. We'd never be the same

w/o you. I am sorry about the roof. It is such a drag--esp in

winter. Homes can eat us alive sometimes. Keep putting one foot in

front of the other. Keeping good thoughts and prayers for you.
