You are so precious Eagle...you always bring a smile to my face.

Bless you!

Thank you Brenda. As you can see, I never made it out of here to do those errands. It's snowing and cold...so I snuggled back into my cozy fleece I-don't-know-what-you-call-this-outfit-but-it's-warm and came back "home". Besides, I called the store and they don't have what I was going out to get anyway. Maybe tomorrow.

Here's a little poem i wrote this morning...can anyone relate

Coming Unglued

I've spent the day and half the night sitting in this chair
Searching for a friend or two...there's always someone there
Maybe I'm just nosey but I don't think that's the case
It's just that I am lonely...and this is my safe place.

I check up on my neighbours who come from far and wide
to talk about all topics...we've smiled...we've laughed...we've cried
I grab myself a bite to eat and bring it to the screen
I swipe the crumbs up in my hand...to keep my space here clean.

What keeps me here...won't let me leave for even just an hour?
If I'm gone for twenty...it's when I'm in the shower!
What is it that I'm feeding on...a loss? A friend? A mood?
Am I going crazy? Without you would I brood?

My jammies and my coffee...Gee, who could ask for more?
But why am I afraid to step, beyond my own front door?
Because...I am addicted to a friend without a face?
Who likes me unconditionally, here in my own place

It's time I get a grip on life and do some other things
It's time I take the scissors and cut these apron strings
So if I'm on the missing list..I'm really not being rude
I'm trying to break this addictive chain...I'm trying to come unglued!

Great poem Chick.

I finally did get outdoors, in the snow. The store called and said the item had just arrived. So I walked over, did my list of errands and walked back. It was good to get out, and good to get back here. I guess it's all about finding one's healthiest balance. For me at this stage of my progress, this place is one of the healthiest things I can do for myself. As long as I don't forget to eat and get outside once in awhile.

I have to do something besides stay in and sit on the computer too much, I think I will go for a walk tomorrow...and maybe do some errands too, Eagle. I think balance is what I am lacking. I need to just get up and go!

Chick, I just love that poem!!! I think the reason we don't want to leave this place is because we think we'll miss something fun.

But isn't it so great to chat with friends w/o having to clean, cook, dress up and then clean afterwards?

Love the poem.... chick.

chick, great poem? Can I use it on the site?

How do you do that? Just sit down and right a poem so easily? It would take me months to do that! Loved it.
