I watch this eagle cam all day long. I love it. It keeps me centered about how the world is more than pain and aism.


Also it is just so darn interesting!


What do you do for you? There are no rules. I raise things. I love raising chicks and australian walking sticks, puppies. Feed the birds, gads i feed the humming birds but I tell ya, I have forgot twice and almost burned the house down making the nectar.yikes.


I am having troulbe writing to A. I mean what do I say to someone I no longer know? He never askes about me, so he must not care. Sooooooo


I make sure I eat what i like, healthy stuff, I sing, poor pigs hafta listen, I love to watch movies. I forgot all the things I like to do in the aism shuffle.


Trouble is a lot of what I like, was doing stuff with my man. walking, talking, laughing uno. intimacy i mean holding hands, goosing them, un the normal stuff...haha


I like that I notice when the aism is making things too heavy and hop off the bus. Its like it chokes all the good out and you forget there are garage sales to go to and fish to be caught.


For me, I am mending fences. Estersue aka Havok sigh. has made numerable excape places. But today I hope I cooked her goose. The dogs did not get out anywhere.


Did I tell ya my place is rattle snake mountain? I came home to a huge sausage size rattler in my front yard the other day. I did what any other woman would do, got my hook, put him in a bag and relocated him up the mountain...


hugs, debilyn

In support,

Well Debilyn you have really got me thinking.  As you know I am an Aussie and I have never heard of australian walking sticks - are you talking about eagles?  Could it be Wedgetail Eagles?  By the way animals are messengers and the eagle flying around you all day is to me and indication  to be on the alert.  As far as your A goes if you still feel like writing why don't you pen something exactly like you posted about the animals and their antics.  He can relate to what you are talking about and then you also are not getting into any personal stuff that you might not want to deal with at present.  Hope everything is okay in your world.   LUv Leo xx

thar ya go dahling.


Ok where is the entimologist in you? lol, I was on the honor roll at college in my fourties. Then fell in love with my A. Got a very low grade in entimology but loved the class.. lol all I could do was feel giddy all the time. Kept losing my keys and locking myself out of everything...


no nono lol the Bald eagles are on an eagle cam on the net. I watch them on here. lol


I am writing the A. I put in animal stuff too as it is me. So far have not sent but one letter. Just cannot connect with him. His heart is shut Leo.


How are you? What are you up to? love,debilyn

I take baths, pray, plan vacations that I know I probably will never be able to afford to take, read, write short stories and poems, take my son to the library, walk at the cemetery, make new friends everywhere I go.


I love reading your posts...I miss intimacy and I miss my A but KNOW that the relationship is just not meant to be, he is active in the disease, has no intentions to change and I deserve a better future for my kids and myself.


MUCH LOVE!!!!!!!!


Rattlesnake mountain sounds fun with all of your animals!


Jen

Well Debilyn you can teach an old dog new tricks.  I learnt something new today from you lol.  I guess because I am on the west coast and it is not tropical I have never heard of them.  It reminds me a bit of a preying mantis.  Is there no end to your knowledge?  Sending hugs your way - know your laughter is masking the hurt you feel for your A chicken.  Listen to your heart and do whatever it tells you at the time.  Things are okay here we have been getting lots of rain which is very unusual for where I live.  If you want to send me your email I have some photos that I think you will like (wildlife of course) .  Luv Leo xxx

Debilyn: As you know I find my animals a real source of nuturing. They are also a tremendous source of work. I have to bathe both my dogs tomorrow and wash everything because they have some kind of skin stuff.  I would resent this before Al-anon now I see it as part of living. And I am very very much into one day at a time. I try to set simple goals for myself and not get ahead of myself. Nevertheless I do think somedays it is a puzzle how to manage some things like letting go of an A.  My A can be charming one moment and ice cold the next.  I try super hard not to be too caught up in what he is doing or how he is doing it.  I really super focus on myself.  Your posts, wisdom and humor have been a real solace for me since I got here.


Maresie.
