GOING HOME
I still can’t decide when I should leave for home. Hubby will be leaving next Friday so I can leave any day next week. I am so use to the routine here and everything else that I am reluctant to leave. I find it stressful to come and go.
I spoke to a friend this week for about an hour! She use to live in Montreal but hasn’t for many years. Now she has emailed me to ask me if I want to come stay at her house next Friday and attend a service at her home Friday night. I have to make a decision. I haven’t seen her for awhile so maybe it would be fun to stay with her one night.
Yesterday I did some messages. In the afternoon I had a nap. Then friends came for supper and we played bridge. It was a very pleasant evening.
I have a problem. My friend who lost her husband and is hanging out with my other friend who lost his wife called me last night. She wants to talk to me. I know she will want to talk about me not being happy that she is with my other friend. I don’t know what I will say to her. Probably the less the better but still I want to be careful not to dig a deep hole! She is so ultra sensitive!!!!
In the morning I have decided to go swimming and stained glass as we have no other plans. The swimming will be fun!
Hubby’s body has been bothering him. Too much golf probably. Other friends have the same problem. It’s interesting that it’s the end of the season. I guess I was lucky to have swam as exercise.
Anyhow time to try to get back to sleep.

yeah it’s probably best to go easy on your friend who is with your other friend. i can see how you’d feel about them being together but, i can also see how/why they’d want to be together. maybe they are just the kind of people who don’t do so well being alone in life. the kind that needs to be with others. some people just aren’t as independent as other people are. enjoy your night with your otherfriend. i’ll be glad when it’s warm enough for swimming here. take care,

Yes, it must be somewhat unnerving to pack up and start new routines do often. It’s gorgeous weather here though! 🙂 I agree with your other noter about being gentle with your friend. You haven’t written why you feel upset about it. I think it’s so wonderful when widows and widowers find new love. Do you feel it’s too soon, or that they are somehow being unfaithful?

It is wonderful you get to swim, I wish we had pools to go to. The city is thinking of not even opening some of them for the summer, just leaving them shut down. Love,

I wish you the best in meeting up with your friend. I always try to remind myself that if I have a strong opinion, there is less sting behind it when voiced as a question, rather than offered as a statement. But in all honesty, I think if you just admitted you have such conflicting feelings about it…you don’t mean to be judgmental, but it seems so *strange* to see either of them with a different partner…I think she can accept that and would appreciate the honesty if it was voiced with love and the sentiment that what you ulimately wish for both of them is their happiness.

I don’t know how you do that twice a year every year, I would much rather fly. I hate driving that far. I think your friends just need companionship. Some people need to be with others. You and I are very independent and do not need to be with someone else. But other people need to have a companion.
