to my friends

January 30, 2014
I always knew this day would come, but never wanted to dwell on it. OpenDiary started out as my home and through the years transitioned into more of a vacation home, but it's something I never wanted to give up. By nature I'm resistant to and sometimes even resentful of change. I will miss every&...

    That's what I live for. I can hardly wait for Thursday to arrive and by the beginning of Saturday, there are times when the dread of a new work week begins to creep up on me already. I try to put it out of my mind and most of the time I'm successful. During the…

    It's nearing a year since my last official diary post. I still have OpenDiary on my top 10 list of websites and I occasionally read friends and even less, comment. Still I don't ever see myself giving this diary up. So the good news is, I'm getting old(er). The bad news is . . .…

    I haven't felt the need to use my diary for an outlet in a very long time. My life has been good in most respects. But over the weekend, old feelings that I thought were resolved, came flooding back to me like a bad dream and here I am. Nowhere to go with these thoughts,…

    I'm so proud of myself. I've been using the internet for many years now and have never been banned from a site - until yesterday. And it's the strangest thing. I didn't even know I did anything wrong even though I was accused of just that. Saturday night I couldn't sleep so among other browsing,&...

    When one gets an invitation to make a diary entry from OpenDiary, one knows it's time to make a diary entry. No threats in the email, but I'm not even familiar with the rules anymore and I know it's been ages since my last post. I'm not ready to give up my diary. I've thought…

    The phone call that melted my heart, and A Note to my SON Could you tell as we were talking that my eyes were filled with tears? You – now 28, more adventurous than ever and so far from home. Me – as always, just home sweet home and happiest therein. I never expected that…

    This has been a rather peculiar summer. (weather wise) August started out in the 60Â’s. SO not summer weather. This weekend weÂ’ve been blessed with ample rain and more reason to stay indoors. What I like to do indoors . . . play on the computer isnÂ’t enjoyable at the moment either. Practically all...

    Yesterday I picked up a few more things at the Amish greenhouse that IÂ’ve been going to for quite a few years now. ItÂ’s an out in the country spot that IÂ’d heard about through a friend and thought IÂ’d check out for myself. Been going ever since. They have a flower that IÂ’ve never…

    March 5, 2009
    I almost let this day go by without making note of turning 55. Not crazy about the idea. I never had a problem with numbers before. This set bothers me for undisclosed reasons. Another entry perhaps. For now . . . I spend my night fiddling with a picture Jarad sent me this afernoon. Out…
