Who Missed Me?

[pegasus216]

So am I Neesy! I am getting the kids a 42 inch tv, and a 2 in 1 laptop/tablet for Karen.
I shop at a place that I can make monthly payments, so it works out well for me.

It was hard for me to decide whether to stay on the board or to just quietly go away. I got my feelings hurt, and I didn't like the way it made me feel. Some people know the reason, but I'm not going into it here.
So, any way, I'm here for now. I got a good feeling come over me today, and decided to 'put my big girl panties' on, and get over it.
I have been watching John Wayne movies all day, and drinking hot chocolate, and that put me in a good mood!
(I hate halloween, and all that goes with it) Sorry to the ones who do like it. It has to do with the way I was raised.
Ok. I'm rambling, so hello again all!!

I'm glad you re-thought

 

[skimom2]

don't be governed by the moods and emotions of others. I live with an Ogre. It's easy to reflect his moods - easier to join him than fight him. That's not me. I am buoyant and joyful. I try not to forget that.

Wow! Words of wisdom - Andy can be quite pessimistic. I think I was doing that too for a while - reflecting moods and attitudes off him.

Yup, me, too. We had the, "Do you have ANYTHING positive to say?" conversation again yesterday. Holly is so right: don't let others bring you down, no matter how difficult that can be. You can make your own light, and light those around you (like you always do with remembering birthdays--I enjoy that so much--and starting the Weekly Survey here). You're a light for others, pegasus216 !

 

[pegasus216]

Thank you so much, skimom.

 

[skimom2]

I just found this on FB and thought of you immediately pegasus216 !

 

[pegasus216]

Oh my dear, skimom, I have seen that almost a month ago. He did a great job on that song I think.
There is very few things about CC that I don't know about! LOL!!
I know his nickname that his fans have given him. and listened to all interviews.
He did a show a few weeks ago with his oldest daughter, and man can she sing!

 

[pegasus216]

But, hey, skimom, if you find anything let me know. I may miss something.
That goes for everyone here!

I noticed since he is up North and I only see him about twice a year for 5 - 6 weeks at a time that I have become more upbeat and positive.

Wow...you only see your husband for around 12weeks a year?? Sounds like the perfect relationship, I'd love that!

pegasus216 I logged in a few days ago and noticed you weren't around, and also read in "Wherefore Art Thou" that people were worried about your absence so I'd say you were definitely missed. Word of advice though...seriously do not worry about what people think of you or leave here because of others. I've had numerous breaks here over the years, and mainly due to not fitting in with other members, and being excluded in group conversations etc. I was younger then and not used to online communities so it would feel personal...because it clearly was. Now however, I couldn't care less how many people here dislike me. If I want to log in I will, if I want to post I will...I'm just very selective who I choose to interact with these days. I don't come online much now and I'm so much happier for it. Anyhoo, enough about me...I hope you are feeling well, take care.

 

[pegasus216]

Ally thank you for those words. It is a pleasure to see you here!

 

[Debbie913]

I am glad you are here, Mary. Please stick around!

 

[Dana Jean]

I am very happy you are here.

 

[pegasus216]

Thanks, Debbie! You are very special to me.

Thank you, Dana. You always give good advice.

 

[arista]

I know there is a definite void when one member of the Ka-tet is missing. Your presence was missed and you are such a light.

 

[pegasus216]

A very dim light, Arista.

 

[cat in a bag]

A very dim light, Arista.

That is not true.

I am glad you came back.

 

[Sigmund]

Hey you!

A bunch of people missed you silly. (I would have left a message on your Profile Page but ... I can't. )

>>>hugs<<<

Good to have you posting again, pegasus216. Your absence was noticed.

HollyGolightly and others had some good advice for you. When people can accept that no one else can make them happy or worthy and that no one else is responsible for how we feel (i.e. they can't "make" us feel good or bad unless we allow that), it's a lot easier to deal with those times when we start feeling down. Knowing that we're the one responsible for what we're feeling gives us the power to make whatever changes are needed to be happy. It has to come from within. It might be a slow process especially if we've spent most of our life relying on others for our happiness or feeling of self-worth, but one step at a time will get us there. And life gives us many, many opportunities to practice changing.

Took me 50 years to learn this.
Now, I am happy because I find it within myself.

Tina, Sig, Marsha, I thank you so very much. Very good advice, Marsha, much appreciated.

Glad to have you back.
