Welcome to Jessica's Ramblings!
WARNING!This journal is pretty creative and can be off the wall! But, I think most people enjoy that anyway.

As I'm getting back into journaling, this journal will contain my picture party blog from Blogger, story/poem ideas and highlighting of pieces I'm proud of. Sometimes you may even get a review of my day.

Sit back and enjoy!

Some relationships are not meant to be. It is better to have stopped something early that won't eventually work. I think-hope that you'll meet someone who is much more mature and understanding. Hugs.

I agree. I left AT&T, too. They are not cheap and although I was with them for many years, I wasn't happy with their service during the last two years.

Glad you are doing better all around. Wishing you much happiness with everything.

This. We also learn how to NOT be from folks who are a part of our life. Sad in some ways.

Power to you,

Jess. They taught you a lot, for sure. Above all, they taught you to be yourself, and not be swayed into their modes of thought. Not everyone can achieve that.

The video was neat to see your reaction to the stuff you mentioned you received. My niece has scrapbooks that are huge with all the bells and whistles she added. I will take a peek at your Shutterfly. I am glad I stopped by! Take care.

It sounds like going to your happy place was the best decision! Aside from the missing/stolen/discarded bag, the rest flowed. I can tell you are a pro at getting away. Yours is the first new to me blog I have read. My goal this month is to read 10. I may not reach my goal, but am thrilled you were the latest one to update. I did not note the first entry about your birthday. I shall go back and do that now. Have a great week! tracker

Way to go,

Jess! Seeing you happier is happiness for me, too.

As to "Chris says I shouldn't talk about the past, sometimes I need to," I understand your need. A sad or traumatic past or any other such experience needs to be handled well, talked, written or dealt with in some way first, before burying it away. If you bury it too soon, its ghost will come back to haunt you. I don't know if it could work for everyone, but I would suggest keeping a very private locked journal and writing in it every day. Not that day's events only but what especially hurt you in the past, even if you write the same thing over and over.

Best of luck and enjoy today's joy!

Nice, fun entry, Jess.

And that makes two of us. I haven't seen a ghost either. But they may exist. I'm not denying that.

My journal and blogs keep so much alive... I've used them to remember, process... then let go.

I sleep 'alone' when I travel, sharing a room if I'm in a hostel. I live alone in Montana; but, sleeping next to Pan makes me happy.

My friend Gary reminds me of my father. I met him about a year after my father died. Marilyn (who helped me get disability) reminded me of Marilyn (my former boss I didn't get along with). Very similar in appearance and personality. Interesting juxtaposition.

I'm glad you had Nan for all those years.

Love this information you shared. Laughter can truly be the best medicine. These giggle sessions are also healing and I believe you're right. Both are watching and it warms their angelic heart that you remember them like this.

Big Hearted People

Prompt: Big-hearted People
What makes a person lovable and with a big heart? Do you have such people in your life and what would your descriptions of them be like?

I thought David was a big-hearted person, especially with how he accepted me and how at first he wanted to build a home with me. He helped me out emotionally, and he also helped out his friends too. Now, I'm not sure if it was because he has a big-heart or if he just doesn't want to grow up.

I say that because at first I thought him housing Erich was part of the big-heart act. However, as I read about ADHD and some of my friends voiced these concerns: "not necessarily. They are lost boys and don't want to grow up. Erich is only a symptom of what David feels. He doesn't want to grow up." I'd like to think that only happened towards the end and for the last 2.5 years, it was genuine big-heart energy.

While I'm relieved to be off of that sinking ship, I am sad. My dad is disappointed with him since when he asked for my hand, he promised my dad that he'd take care of me. David also didn't help me move yesterday and that pissed my dad off. I'm just disappointed.

Anyway, before I get off topic! I think Nan was a big-hearted person because she always helped out others. She volunteered a lot in the community and everyone saw her as their grandma. She welcomed everyone into her life. When she was buried 12 years ago, all the kids that she crossed for 12 years came to the funeral to pay their respects. As did some of my friends, the library and so many other people.

I think I have Nan's big-heart too.
