So then? I got my car right outside my kitchen window, if I could get it in the house believe me it would be in, I haven't done a lot of driving her yet, been too busy working it's great though because I can park her right outside my kitchen at work and if I am having a bad day I can just look at her lovingly and think arhhhhhhhh bless, it's all so worth it
I am up early am I have my polishing head on, first thing I done was hang out of the bedroom window to see if she was still there, then I came downstairs and gazed at her as I made a coffee, I noticed another ding where someone has opened a door onto her, I used to get soooooo freaked out with imperfections, but now? it's her history it's her little imperfections that make her unique for me and I can love her more for it.
We have a new resident at work whos in her nineties, she is proving rather a challenge she has taken to spitting and agression, when I asked her what she wanted for her lunch yeterday she was not having any of it, so I said well then if you won't eat my dinner I best kiss you, I think she was in shock then, but it turned her frown upside down, so I told the others to try it, there is a point to this, I can give so easily to others but to my alchoholic I just can't yet, don't get me wrong I believed I always had done, it's like I went to cuddle him the other day and he defended himself, said he thought I was going to hit him, jeez what runs through his head, that set me back though but I mustn't weaken there is still love there, I am not going to say it I am going to try and show it, if you see what I mean.
Great attitude. I like the way you offer loving support without enabling, are compassionate and respectful of boundaries - yours and theirs! Thanks for sharing. Keep enjoying your car! ! TT
