A Different World


This morning there were a couple hoodies on a chair, so I looked at them, inside there was a note....Happy Birthday Ollie, My didn't remember her friends birthday while we were out. I rummaged through my collection of jewelry making supplies, found a beautiful glass amulet and a chain, put them together and boxed them pretty. When she came down, I handed it to her and told her I thought Ollie might like it. She was happy, she had that slight smile and subtle tell tale glow. She has a great poker face, for everything but poker. In poker she giggles and wiggles and is absolutely animated with a good hand, you fold.
Ollie is a Bestie, I remember when Besties were the world, I have many here. Some of us have met, some are content to be cyber buddies. Still, all are dear.
It makes me think of how little it takes just to ask a favor, but how hard it is sometimes to do. Between two surgeries and an accident, I have had to rely on people...a lot. Not my favorite thing to do either. I try and appreciate but I just want to be me, fierce and standing up to the universe. It will be some time yet. remember and repeat the words of a patient, " Every day a little better, better and better."
The other quote is from a fine lady, "It is an ill wind that does not blow some good, somewhere" If she reads the Blog, she will know...lol. I think of that quote and I hope that this experience somehow allows me to be a better person, a little more understanding,....we can hope. Maybe, I will achieve the tools to help another one day, if so, then it is not all for naught.
Every day we wake, it is to a different world, than the day before.

I sure understand how difficult it is to ask others for favours while being ready & able to help them.

I've been told that I'm too damn independent. I bet you've been told that too~~

Yes, it doesn't take much thinking to come up with examples of good things that have happened for some during times that were disastrous for others.

Every day..... Better & Better........... Warm Hugsss~~

Thanks for sharing your uplifting blog, enjoyed the read.

I hate asking for favours too, I don't like putting people out. My friends and family are more than willing to oblige I know that. Guess I like being independent.

Sometimes, morning rambles make for an interesting blog. Thanks for sharing, even if I'm a couple days late reading it.
