| A post for ColoradoDreamin....

I do not often write blogs for or about other people, but yesterday I read something that kinda threw me off balance a little bit. Normally ya read these kinda things and you go on the next... and three blogs later you have been shocked and bewildered by something else. Well this comment stuck with me, I thought about it last night as I sat by my fire, I was having a rough night nothing really to blog about just one of those nights where you look around and you wish someone else was there. And as I had these woe is me self pitty thoughts that comment hit me again...
Quote:
"Nice to get an update from you. Funny you should mention Weight Watchers. I also have been thinking of joining. Being pretty much alone in the world it would be so nice to have a bit of support and encouragement when it comes to diet. You rock, Douglas, the pleasure of knowing you is all mine. Oh, by the way, thanks for accepting my friend request. Peace "
Before I get to that I also had a conversation with someone last night about my blah mood, and I told her ahow I love the people from thoughts, but when your home alone, it can feel like its just a computer. No one I can call up and say hey lets grab a drink, then her reply got me thinking. She said something onlong the lines of how she never thought that she would ever become so close or care about people online. And I agree.... Just the fact that I was still thinking about the comment was proof... I am not the only one that feels alone.
Now any of you scribbelers out there who have gotten a comment from CD knows how deep and how much feeling she puts into it... and to think about a person who puts so much of herself into praising my work and the work of other to feel alone I guess was kind heart breaking... and my mood last night did not help....
ok ok so with all that said... I will be starting a new thread on the forums soon... when I get it all together I will post spicifics... and I will be steeling... er umm.... burrowing a few ideas from another message board I used to use. But it will be about fitnes and weight loss... post ideas... recepies.... troubles.... questions....
I know stuff like this is allready up there.... but sometimes jumping into that stuff will be like going to a new gym kinda scared... but I am there and it will be fun!!!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS!! lol trust me...
Thank you for all your wonderful support with the scribbels challanges we are blessed to have you amoung us.... maybe some of your good spelling will rub off on me lol
keep your chin up and smile....

Good post Douglas. Colorado is an awesome person. She has sent me suggestions that have helped. I admire her for her strength and knowledge.
The idea for a weight loss forum is a good one. I always have at least 10 lbs to loose so I will visit it! Take Care and I hope your mood has improved.

Nice post. I agree Colorado is a great person who puts a lot of thought into her comments.
I know what you mean about feeling alone, and caring about people on here. Many of the people on here have become like family to me. And, even though I know I can't go get a drink with them, or go to their house (at least not unless it involves a vacation!) I know I can call them up, or get on here and talk with them for ANYTHING and they will offer me words of encouragement and support. People who aren't here don't seem to get it. They just look at me funny when I tell them how close I am to some of the people here, some of whome, I have never met in person, some who I have never talked even on the phone, some who I do not even know what they look like. I guess you don't "get it" unless you are here.
Oh, and the thread sounds like a great idea, I am sure you would get a lot of support from starting it!

Colorado was my very first commenter and I think my very first friend on here, so I know how sincere and beautiful she is. So I think this post was a really nice tribute to a lovely lady who I wished lived closer to me.

ColoradoDreamin is most definitely a keeper! Such a sweet classy lady. She sure brings the place up a notch or two :) (Not unlike yourself...'cept for the "lady" bit...)

This is the first post I saw this morning. My sleepy eyes were wide open. It was a bit odd seeing my comment in the spotlight. Thank goodness Firefox spell checks, all my comments, automatically.
Douglas, I know we chatted earlier today, but wanted to publicly thank you for this post, dedicated to me. From time to time we all have our lonely moments. I think some temperaments are more prone than others. My Mom and Dad insist I was born lonely. Seems I wasn't very good at entertaining myself as a child. My job, as a Realtor, requires me to have a smile on my face and emit confidence in myself and my abilities. I try very hard to never let the world see anything less than that. I'm sure on some level I must possess emotional strength or I wouldn't have survived all life has sent my way.
While this post brings to light my vulnerability I don't think that's a bad thing. I'm a human being, who has good days and bad. I possess a sensitive, lonely soul, which causes me to feel alone and uncared about, but I choose not to dwell on those feelings. My focus is on the hurting and lonely placed in my path ... as what I put out into the universe returns to me.
Everyone sees me as strong (tough). Very few people ever notice or see the part of me that is fragile as well. Thanks for noticing, Douglas. I feel blessed to call you friend. Peace.

Eloquently said, CO Dreamin. You are a lovely woman with a beautiful soul. When I left Thoughts a couple of months ago, you kept up with me through emails and when I moved, you sent me a beautiful card. I felt connected to my friends at Thoughts because of you. Thank you and thank you, DouglasMB for this beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady. Lots of love and blessings.

may I join this colorado love fest, she is a wonderful human being...its nice to know so many are out there...and I feel bad so many of the nicest ones are so lonely,
but
remember you do not have to
just be alone
to be lonely,
you can be lonely surrounded by love ones!
Regadless, its a sad state of affairs...and I am so glad so many people are able to connect here...
I have to do some catching up, I have no idea what scribbles are, besides those things we make with crayons?
but it was sure nice of you to applaud our good soul, colorado!

Douglas - CD's comment on your blog made me sad too, especially because she is one of the kindest women I have met on Thoughts. Sincere, deep, inspiring - just a beautiful person through and through. I am so glad you wrote this post so CD knows just how much her presence here matters to all of us.

Thanks everyone for the sweetness and love. The next time I feel lonely I'm coming right here to read again your lovely comments .. in fact I just might print them out. They will serve as a reminder that in this great big world there are people who don't think I'm stupid and who love and accept me just the way I am. I'm blessed to be a part of this community and blessed to know each one of you. Hugs & Peace
