What made you sad today...

Gemme · 03-22-2010, 08:22 PM

Maybe it's because I've been going, going, going the past few days that...now that it's slowing back down a bit...I feel as if I am in slow motion and the world is just passing me by.

Our County Commission is planning to close 12 of our public libraries because of budget problems. I guess it takes too much energy (translate that to too much of a risk to one's political career) to trim the truly unnecessary things from the budget instead.

As I was watering my front yard this evening, an elderly woman appeared that was disoriented and lost, most likely Alzheimer's. Well nourished but had no ID on her or a purse. Didn't appear that anyone had hurt her. She was scared, but was OK with my calling the police to help her out. The officers were gentle with her. My brother-in-law has Alzheimer's and has wondered. So scary for my sister. I hope her family called in that she was missing and they got her home OK.

I am a great Aunt for the first time and got to hold that little tiny baby boy just tonight. I've NEVER held a baby so young...
__

Then, I'm all happy coming home, back to the cabin here... saw two deer crossing the road and slowed down to watch them run up the hill, and a BIG BUCK came flying out onto the hood of my car.

Those of you who know me, know that these babies are like my kids. I was heartbroken and wanted it to jump up, but it couldn't get up from the ditch and I thought, "it is just stuck in the mud", and stayed with him talking and trying to keep a loving energy with him (and he did stay calm...)

However, story short... a neighbor had to come and "put him to rest", for he had broken his leg.

And I cried and cried. Not ashamed of it - just VERY sad.
__

So, new life in, another life onto the next plane... such a contrast for me in a very short period of time.

*I am SO sorry Mr. Deer.

*Welcome my great nephew.

I love you both.

Sincerely,
WILDCAT

Knowing I have a friend in pain and I can only sit here and pray. Pray for her family to help ease that pain. Pray so no one has to suffer any longer. Pray for the strength and faith she has in her higher power. Pray for the hope she shares with her partner every day. Pray for the peace of mind I hope she finds as she sleeps. Knowing when she wakes, she must start again and be strong for everyone. Wanting her to know that it's ok to show weakness when others know you're strong. It's ok to cry and reach out for someone to hear YOU. It's ok to not feel guilty when you need to take some time for you in the course of a day.

Share your pain, my friend. I'll be sad with you.

I passed a child lying in the street hit by a car on my way home from work. It apparently had just happened as there were no emergency vehicles on the scene. It was on the opposite side of the street with cars blocking on 3 sides. I just sat in my car frozen in my lane. I finally after about 5mins I saw the red lights coming. I decided I needed to move so the ambulance could get in. My heart sank at the lifeless body as I drove away asking Great Spirit to take care the child, his family and the driver of the car. What are terrible tragedy.
