It's unfortunate, but when someone tells me they luv me, how can I trust them? I have been burned so many times. I've lost so many people in my life, I don't know where to begin with that, sadly. Who can I turn to for good guidance and support? I don't think I can get this here, maybe some suggestions outside of this AARP forum on this? Thanks!

- Kelly, it was suggested to me a long time ago to take what people say at face value. If things prove otherwise I can always change my mind later. It was also suggested not to stand under a tree with birds. Birds flock together. We can't always be in flocks we find comfort and understanding. You probably know by now the signs of unhealthy living. It will give you guidelines for moving forward. There are many good, and very fine people in this world.

Thanks for your feedback. It is appreciated! The unhealthy living is pretty much resolved. Those people who have affected me are deceased and I do not grieve for them. I am trying to forget them, but they keep cropping up in my mind, or conversation(s). That's a struggle I have. Not interested in being in a flock, just some one-on-one with a friend and someone I can trust. I have my husband, true. But, I mean having one more friend, one that doesn't tell me they love me immediately. This makes me uncomfortable, and poses as a red-flag to me. That's another thing I've been dealing with. Anyway, thanks for your response. Kelly

Hey Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy . Yes I am doing well. I guess I packed a lot in my schedule this week and it looks like I did the same for next week. I'm not stressing so it's ok. Thanks for checking on me!

Continuing to move FORWARD! The rheumatologist is holding off on the cordisone shots till eye pressure comes down. Starting me on a mild medication for rheumatoid arthritis. Holding off on biopsy. Soooooo, today I took my car in. Waiting to see what damage $$$$$$ that will cost me. Always something isn't it? I was getting a ride back home so I was told to go to the gray car. I opened the door and the guy says "No sweetheart, not this car!!!!!" We both laughed and I went searching for the guy and car that was taking me home.

I hope someone finds "Ashley Judd: Grief, Love and Naomi" - Anderson Cooper Podcast helpful; it is for me...
decades of mourning feel lifted, and I am not of any religion any longer so those are not the reasons. Her struggle and her recognition of how to recognize and deal with loss trauma was what I identified with.

HOW ARE YOU? ๐ค
๐๐ HEADING BACK TO FLORIDA as soon as CVS opens up. Need to pick up my 90-day Chlolestral refill.
41 degrees here in Cave Spring, Virginia with a Wind Advisory. So "feels" like 34 degrees.
72 degrees and cloudy in Melbourne, Florida.
ANXIOUS to check on my only child (daughter, Florida) as now she is dealing with MAJOR back pain and NOT calling doctor. Now to HOPE it is NOT anything serious. They are OUR "babies" to the day we die. Lol, stubborn like me... ๐๐คฃ
IF anyone in our group is in the area that is having Weather Issues, please be SAFE!!!

I hope that your daughter will go to the doctors. I agree they are always our "babies" and we will always worry about them and they seem to listen to us LESS as they become older. ๐Monday would have been my son's birthday so I plan to have my other son take me there to put flowers on his grave. I am STILL waiting for my husband's grave stone to be installed. I did not realize that it took months to have this done. Nicole, I worry about your traveling back and forth to VA. How much longer will you have to do that? However, I am happy that you ran into an old friend there and are taking care of your health. Luv you. โค๏ธ Sorry if my response is sporadic. I read through the text that I miss and respond. Not sure if I am doing it right.

Thank You for thinking of me. It was a somber day; one that I just kept to myself. My grandson told me that they ordered my son's grave stone which made me happy. I am continuing the doctor's appointments, taking the car in for repair and packing. Hopefully I will be able to put my house on the market soon.

I have always been patient and kind to those that have offended me. I give them many, many chances and "forgive" often. However, I have found that there are individuals that take my kindness as a weakness and take advantage of that. I get to a point where I feel that I do not need or want this person in my life and end the relationship. At that point I am DONE with them and eliminate them from my life. Life is too short to deal with those that only intend to hurt you and truly do not care about you.
