What Did You Do For You Today???

Watched Disney's Mulan. :)

My sister and I had a long talk today, after we got back from town, as she needed a few things before flying home tomorrow.

We haven't talked liked that for years, we have only recently got back in touch, as out last meeting was ten years ago, but that was only for a few minutes?

I bought a beautiful little calendar, I mean a 'real' one for my purse, not phone or tablet, with happy, beautiful boho art. I opened it to a beautiful sweet bird. For a new start. (Too many 'beautifuls' but that's the appropriate word I can think of).

I had bought a funny one, that's good for work or something else. The first month said, "I'm going to lose 10 pounds. I just have 13 to go!" :)

Didn't write to someone dear to me.

Sticking to agreements & order of messaging. Her turn, now.

@Junebug : Great calendar! :D

I took my time out at work - closing the door from the inside and doing my Yoga exercise. :sleep: ...I listened to lots of cray folk rock music on my way home. :headphone:

I didn't answer my brother's call, again. I feel bad about it but I need to take care of myself. With this whole business of our dad's and his mom's divorce splitting up people, taking sides, I really do not want to get anymore dragged into it and have it depress my already depression susceptible body. Does that make me a bad sister? Probably.

 

[Tinyflame]

No @Britt.f7 it really really really doesn't. It makes you a more sane, more healthy, more self-aware and accepting sister. Because also, others' decisions are not your own.

FWIW, a giant lightbulb occurred to me today, of why I have trouble contacting my terminally ill sister, or more specifically, why I have not flown out to see her. I'm sure it would appear to others too that I m an awful sister. :(

:hug: 's to you.

@Junebug Thank you for the hugs and support. I wish you strength to contact your sister. I know it is difficult. :hug:

 

[Tinyflame]

Thank you @Britt.f7 , yes beyond belief. I am so lucky you understand. :hug: :hug: Xox.

@Junebug, shortly after my mom's death her best friend, my "aunt", started dying. It was so difficult to be in contact with her as I was still grieving my mom who had been taking care of her when she herself fell ill. There was an opportunity to go visit her one day, she was dying of lung cancer and in the final stages. I didn't go. I just couldn't. I know she knew I loved her. I was hanging on so desperately to my own mental and emotional health at the time. There are parts of me that regret that. Other parts that don't. I got to remember her happy, and laughing. Not sick and dying. That is the way I prefer to remember her.

Sending a lot of love and support to you! :hug:
