Well! It's been crazy for all of us these last 2, 3 years. Am I right? Don't you feel like you've been through everything imaginable? Detours to where you first intended sometimes? But? Here you are! Maybe we can think, where we are, is what all those detours were for. To get you HERE. You never know. It could be with purpose.

You Gotta be happy. Heavens knows I am (and it’s not common, but it does happen). It’s like you went ‘on to something else, not entirely abandoning the but just stepping aside of it when thinking it’s an ‘impasse’. Then? when not even thinking about it anymore, the solution arrives! Voila! Surely someone has had this happen too?
Yes, guess this goes for both Android and Apple in messaging. I'm using iMessaging but that might not be the point. You see, I was reading an iMessage my daughter had sent me complete with pics of her husband and their 3 kids on an 'outting'. These shares, since I'm the caretaker of my elderly 92 y/o mom, the pics received were as much intended for her as anyone. The thing is, and I have to admit have 'done this before', I didn't 'switch' to my daughter when came back from doing something in another tab, and wrote my little heart out about this and that, that my daughter, son-in-law and their 3 kids. Some time passed, then noticed some activity was there in the messenger to reply to. Guess whom it was? The reply was, "I think you have the wrong number. This is Walmart delivery.' Gulp. A lot of egg on my face. I apologized profusively and what came back was "no worries". And my chalkboard in my head said, "you've gotta stop making careless mistakes". Hard to say if I can, but surely gonna try. lol

curt wrote:Ok, maybe made a mistake. Wifi stereo? I wanted to go back to the 'old days' when I sang in the dark, over ears headphones but also shared output with stereo speakers simultaniously. Did it onced and loved it for about 2 years. Maybe the problem is 'jacked in speakers' or something? The WIFI over the ears works fine. I really miss this. It'll be cheap but I'll have to put something togehter.
The lady in that family pic, opening screen, is my 1rst cousin. She was brilliant, but with candle burning at both ends. She skipped 2 grades in high school, took a year off and still entered college at 17. She excelled at everything, at first. She out maneuvered her mom constantly, her mom being too conservative and restrictive of things she didn't know. Fear can increase ignorance. It surely can. So Marcy, that was her name, was yes, controversial in the family environment. She finally came out of the closet once off in college, came back with her other (a lovely woman by the way, intelligent, sharp, even more than I would care for, but a sharp dresser too). Gay. I wasn't fazed at all and quite young then to accept it. The elders felt seismic shockwaves. I felt less of them for that. I go over it, but it bothered me about them. Individual freedom was not their strong suit to be sure. They were proponents of "be just like us". Well I wasn't like her either, but I couldn't for the life of me join sides with them. She died at 42. An Elvis lover. I voracious reader. A lightning fast mind, fast talker. Hard to keep up but thought well worth it. She saw my acceptance, the only one in the family to do so. She befriended me, got me into computers, got me into the internet. I loved my cousin, as far as family, she was on an island, except for me. I was her tether. She was the most brilliant of all of dad's side of the family. It was a true loss when her hard living self passed the vale.

Look, since the Winter Freeze over alot of our country, I got injured, to the point, might require surgery which I am financially and otherwise, NOT looking forward to. But I know many of you have even sterner issues. We're all challengd aren't we? Did any of us even see it coming? I didn't, did you? A brand new page in our live, unwritten still. Good luck to us all. Much Love

If you are in stressful times it would be easy to cry and fall prey to circumstances. But improved circumstances may come your way more likely as while you are finding still the blessings in your life. I know this sounds like Power of Attraction and I get that, but I do think there’s some merit to it. Have a great day and see what comes.
