I like I said have recently returned to MIP but it feels like I never left. I feel so much support out there. It is refreshing to know that you are all still out there. I noticed some familiar names too. You are all gems! I miss the closeness I felt on here. I can't believe sometimes how much I have been missed but you all get me. I am so grateful that I have a place to go to share my ups & downs. And yes, I do like to make song references. He goes one: Wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser & I am older. I was trying to find myself but didn't know I was lost. I am so grateful for music that soothes my soul. Anyone else out there who has special songs that inspire them? Share them w/ me. I am open to to a lot these days; after what I have been through, I can see how much I need to get it together & recover. I am still frightened of things, but I have a good chance of survival but don't we all? Here I sit w/ hope unlike I had before I experienced my break. Recovery is slow sometimes.
Bless all of you! I have found you & myself along this journey. I won't let time go by as much as I am able.
Hi Hoot
I don't know if you know me but I have just recently learnt to drive at the ripe old age of 38. I was too afraid before.
Today I was out driving to a nearby town to deliver a job-application and this song came on the radio. I had to turn it up and sing my heart out
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? (Lewis Caroll)
Just yesterday I saw some old posts and you were on them and I thought, "Where's HootNanny?"
And today you posted. Great to see you back. If feels right.
Bob Seger's Still the Same has nothing to do with anything. But I'll get husband to make a loop of it and I play it over and over and over when I'm really troubled. That and Hawaiian Slack Key music--something in the guitar tuned to those tunings is so healing for me.
Hugs,
Temple
