Still Helping Others

I was just sitting here feeling a little blue and I began to think well, isn't that something. It has been a rough year for me already. It's only Feb. 3rd and I have been hospitalized twice and feel like &*(%$! Poor little me.....

So I went to the member list and pulled up some messages from some very special people. DairyPrincess and Peter.Nash. I selected their last posting to read again. I found that even till the end they were positive and happy. They were encouraging and so thoughtful of others. Reading their post gave me some new perspective! No more poor little me! What a dishonor to my friends to be feeling sorry for myself!

I can't help but think that they would each feel so pleased to know that even after their passing they are having such a positive effect on me. Their post still bring tears to my eyes, but I know that they were happy till the end!

So Peter and Debbie, your wonderful spirits shall live on forever here and in my heart and in Pacerland.
Rest my dear friends, you have earned it.

I miss Peter and Debbie also! Debbie and I caught up in the chat room almost every day at about this time, gabbed while we ate lunch. I know they'd be smiling to know their words are helping you now.

Wallow just a wee bit then get that chin up again! You're such a happy perky person, it's hard to picture you sad for long. Sending lots of hugs and a pomegranate cosmo.

I feel sorry for myself too a lot sometimes!
When, I was first diagnosed with my heart issues, I started taking Celexa a anti depressant. Though I for the most part dont have depression issues.
I am taking it still and it helps for times like these when I am down and out...
I do look at others and know that I am much better off than they are and I am blessed that I am still alive.
Keep the Faith it will get better.

I too have never forgotten them. I didn't know it until after his passing, but Peter was the one who nominated ME to be featured in the Pulse Newsletter!! He was just the best man one could ever meet...a true gentleman.

And debbie...well, her and I had made plans to meet as she lived in Minnesota and I was going there to see my twin sister, but she passed a few weeks before i got there. I remember her emailing me just 2 days before she passed saying what a great time she had that weekend...she had gone out to dinner with a few of her girlfriends and she told me she has so much fun. I miss the princess.

But I know they are both up in heaven keeping a close eye on all of us!
