Hi Diane,
Some days are just like that, we feel so down, remember what was and can't really think about the good yet to come. Hang in there, reach out to all of your friends here on TOTV, we're all one big "family" and helping family and friends is what we will do willingly and lovingly. Each day brings something that will put a smile on your face and new, sweet memories in your heart. You'll notice more and more each day. Write them down, enjoy them, share them with us. Many write of things that tickle their soul since moving here, we'd love to hear what did that for you. Someday I'll tell you about Bucky, the squirrel that lives somewhere in my yard....

Dealing w my husband's health problems...) But, Reading this thread, though, has lifted me up, for your sake, my sake and anyone else feeling down. All the persons have given great wise advse which i will apply to me as well Diane, may God Bless you! You will be fine. TRULY WONDERFUL PEOPLE! |

Diane. What I am reading is real show of kindness and affection from many who truly wish you the best,, you are lucky in that way,, to have so many wonderful people to care for you, to watch out for you and to be your friend. There is an old saying that when life changes, change everything. These new friends are part of that change ..... and they are good people Diane. Best to you.

Diane,
I can't say anything more or better than what others have said already. I just ran across this thread, and I am feeling very sorry for you and hope things will look up. Meanwhile, you have a great neighbor in Kitty--that's a strong shoulder to lean on. And you won't be alone as long as you are still with us on TOTV. You're in my prayers for a return to peace and happiness. No need to respond, as it must be hard to answer all the well-wishers when having a sad day. |

I am so happy everyone is here for you and I am sorry you are feeling sad. All these words of comfort aren't always enough when we feel down, but my mom used to say, "What a difference a day makes" and sometimes a day can take a day or longer depending on what you are waiting for. I have always found if I hang in there and maybe keep a journal I can go back and see that every worry will pass. That's just me , but I'm very much like a dog in that I live in the moment and if I'm having a bad time I can't remember the feelings that I've had good times before. It helps me to go back and see that it passes. Maybe it would help you also. Sort of like counting your blessings on paper. I'm not sure if it would help, but in the long run it gives me perspective and I need that sometimes. I hope what your going through passes quickly. Hug your pups and lean on your friends. They sound like wonderful support for you.

It isn't a lack of character or strength to be sad or overwhelmed. It happens to a lot of us when we make a major move and change in our lives, sometimes it happens during the time and sometimes a little later. Two people that I know well and love are going through this right now. It is a good idea to talk to a doctor too, as Barry said. Our brain chemistry can change and some medication can help some of us through. Since Kitty is very close to you geographically, I will save my invitation for four or five weeks when you are feeling like meeting a group of strangers to you and hope that the girls who have said they would like to gather will come then. I have a group of women who I know who are always balm to my soul, warm, genuine and very sensitive and caring. I will issue this invitatation again next month sometime and we will see if you would like to join us. The invitation will be to any TOTV folks who would like to come for lunch. Angie Fox is right, not all people are a perfect fit for others. It takes a while to find people who mesh with you. In the meantime, I will be thinking of you, sending prayers and good wishes and my coffee pot is always on for a pop in. This too will pass, I feel it clear down to my toes. You are never alone here, remember that. You are near as a PM to a bunch of kind and funny and caring people who know how to hug and to listen.

Good Morning, Diane. I hope today you find comfort remembering the good times with your mother and the victory of your first mortgage. As so many others have offered caring thoughts, know that you are not alone here.
Moving is an upheaval, more difficult alone, and I can't imagine doing it 3 times in a short span as you have. I feel like a bedraggled survivor after doing it once so I'm thinking you are a very strong, determined person on a quest for a good life. Be well, my friend. Kitty ps I've heard that if you lie in the floor and let puppies lick your face you get more good brain chemicals than germs.

Give it time
Gosh Diane. I just came across the thread as well and while I didn't read all posts and responses, I still got the jest of it. I'm really sorry you aren't comfortable in your surroundings. Selling a place that you have lived in for so many years is a difficult thing to do. You are leaving behind many memories. I think now that you have transitioned to your new home the best thing to do is find people and things or activities that make you happy and surround yourself with them. I have learned that there are many people both on and off this forum that are just wonderful and probably many in your same shoes. And we all know how many activities you can do here. What did you like to do in your other home where you resided? Did you knit, paint, crochet, bowl, swim? Find that activity and to it here. It will give you an opportunity to meet new friends and do what you like to do. Or, try something different here and start making new memories. It sounds like you already have a lot of friends that you may not even know you had based on the responses on here. Please take advantage of Gracie's offer to go to her house or Kitty's offer to go to hers. I would guess they have broad shoulders and an open ear if you choose to talk to them. Please be willing to open your heart and self to the wonderful community we have here and all that it has to offer. Time heals all wounds.....please give it time.
