Posting, updating ... and just plain growling.

I don't know that anyone's seen what I would consider a real/substantial post from me in quite some time. There's been bits here and there, but nothing where I really felt like I got stuff off of my chest

I am so sorry to hear that you are having more than your share of grief. I will be saying prayers for you and your family. Hopefully Deity will give you that help.

I am glad you are coming out of your shell. After I got out of the Army and all the grief that put me through it took over 6 months before I began to slowly come out of my shell. Sometimes I still feel like a retarded turtle, reacting to things that haven't occurred in over 7 years. It gets better over time...honest.

:hugs:

I've had the same kind of shift over the last year about trusting certain people and not trusting others. I don't know how it is with you but once someone violates my trust well those that have I've never reconnected with. I used to give people more of the benefit of the doubt than I do now and I'm less motivated to forgive transgressions as I used to be. It's very hard to want to trust people again after they've hurt you. Or threatened to kill you weather they meant it or not. I am also finding there are people I know that I consider them friends but for one reason or another we're not very close. Some of those I only see once a year at the camp I volunteer at, others I want to stay more connected to I just don't do a good enough job at it. But as long as you have at least one or two really good close people in your life I think you will be ok and it sounds like you do.

I originally wanted to say something clever and insightful, but I've got nothing and, from what I can tell, it seems that it wouldn't be what you need anyway.

I'm glad to hear that things are maybe looking up, even if only a little. :D

On a completely unrelated topic, it bothers me slightly that it took me so long to pick out Eagle's Landing on Google Maps.

(((hugs)))))

The trust equation is difficult. I go with the Prisoner dilemma continuum--I trust someone until I find they can not be trusted, and then I do not trust that person again. I have to keep reminding myself of that though...

wish I could make it better.

I was thinking about you a few days ago.

On the one hand, hiding has gotten me a measure of peace ... on the other, it has rusted my abilities to interact and trust. What to do, what to do ...

I understand completely. Be good to yourself:)
