Counting the Good

I am feeling so lonely right now.  When I am around my family and friends for several days and my life goes back to the norm I feel incredibly alone!  You would think after days of partying for my birthday and having my son and grandson sleeping over I would be ready for a little boring normal, but alas I find myself in tears tonight!  Missing my son, missing my lover, missing my family, missing the noise. 

Someone advised me that when I am feeling low I should go back over the past few days and look at all the good things.  So to heed that advice I will try.

On Friday my wonderful son David came in from TX!!  I had not seen him since November 2010, and that's a long time.  I had been missing him so much and wanted to experience a "David" hug!  So seeing him, having him here was indeed special!!  We had Christmas when he arrived as I had his Christmas gifts here for the past couple of Christmas!! 

Later Friday night we were all at Leanna's for games and laughs.  We had sooo much fun!!  Then my grandsons and David came home with me and we had a slumber party!!

On Saturday Leanna, Desiree, the boys and I went to Trader Joe's in Madison and bought a few things.  I love that place!  And it helped kill the time before my birthday dinner on Saturday night at Leanna's.

At dinner I had an amazing surprise!!  The wonderful man I have been seeing for almost 2 1/2 yrs surprised me by coming to the dinner party!  I was in 7th heaven surrounded by people that I love and care for so very much!!  It was a wonderful evening!!  AND  I got an iPod Touch that I wanted really really really badly!!  I LOVE it!!!!  Thank you everyone for pitching in for that!!!!  And thank you Leanna, Jerry, Zachary, Quyn, Daniel, David, Anna, Desiree and my love for making it such a fabulous celebration!!!

I am so very blessed to have such loving friends and family that would take so much time out of their busy schedules to pamper me and spend quality time with me.  I need to remember that when I am lonely.  

Now I feel kinda like a schmuck!  Whining and crying that I'm lonely when so many people made sure I was treated so special on my special day!!!

Okay, got my big girl panties on now.  Ready to watch some TV, then listen to my iPod and relax and enjoy the wonderful memories we made this weekend.

My life is SOOOO good and I am SOOOO lucky to be living it!!!
