I wonder 279

[Lara]

I wonder about many things...

I wonder about how you all are doing.

I wonder about catastrophic events and hope all are safe. I must say I have been shocked with the damage and loss of life. I know how it feels to be traumatized by weather I live in a hurricane/cyclone state, but watching that storm grow in size and keep sliding up the coast as it did was really bad. I get surprised that people here don't talk about this.

I wonder how Melody is, for example. sheesh

I wonder how quiet nt has become.

I wonder if I can say that although my new home is not perfect in many ways, it has allowed my daughter to fly through her semester with exceptionally high grades. I guess we're meant to be hermits, hang out in art galleries, sit under jacaranda trees at the uni and study day and night. yay

I wonder at the joy I have found regarding jalapenos and shredded chicken. I hear that I make the best Mexican food in the beach! ha ha

I wonder if I can tell you all that I've been feeling really down and not well lately, so I wonder if you could all send me a positive vibe. I'm missing you all.

It would be impossible for me to list all the friends that I'm wondering about right now, so I will just send a hug to all of you.

[Alffe]

I also wonder about how quiet it is in here....

I wonder if Lara would join in the post card fun...never know what you'll get and that other aussie lady's gonna do it....

I wonder how "interesting" it is to have all the election talk off the air...replaced by the very sad Sandy news...hard to believe those pictures!!

I wonder about the book I'm reading....

I wonder if I'll venture out today....never got dressed yesterday.

I wonder if Lara knows that I'm sending her positive thoughts from way over here and of course love.

I wonder how I love to say jacaranda.....and billabong...

[Abbie]

I wonder why I got dressed today?

I wonder about our east coasties?
I hope they are ok! I know there are many power outages.

I wonder what my nieces & nephews are going as this year?
I wonder if I should text a parent to let them know that I have nothing
here for trick or treaters.....that way they don't waste their time.

My wonderer just got stuck so I will go....
hugs to all

Just turn your porch light off!

I've been wondering a lot about our forums but haven't visited for several days...

I wonder if you'd all smile to know my sister visited me this past weekend...she bought us tickets to see Barbra Streisand!! I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it was to see this phenomenal woman sing! I feel very blessed .... she is a legend and rightfully so!

I wonder at how I just put on my comfy pj's (its 4 in the afternoon)... walked across my living room to my comfy couch... turned on the tv AND my computer to watch the Sweet Adeline Convention/Competition.... and I laughed out loud and said.... I am sooooooooooooo happy!

I often wonder at my happiness after all the sadness (depression) I've had over the years... and I am very grateful that the demon has managed to stay deep down and squashed.

I wonder at some of my "habits" that I've managed to avoid... without hardly a thought... or a craving...

I wonder if I will go back to my singing because the cravings to do that are hard to squash! and watching the webcast of the competition right now is reminding me how healthy it is for me to sing

And speaking of singing, I wonder how our dear Goofy is doing...

I wonder if Lara knows I'm thinking lots about her and am happy that she and her daughter are making lemonade when being given lemons (as the saying goes... making good from the bad) I hope the sunshine of the seasons will bring back your health.

I'm wondering, too, about all the horrible weather.... mother nature is so strong... and, sadly, we are to blame for all our misuse of her gifts I am watching the news as we speak... never ending devastation.

I'm green. Barbra Streisand's voice is simply a musical instrument in itself!

I wonder at how nervous I am about going to my primary doc today.
I hope I get to see her and they don't pawn me off on to another doc.

I wonder that there is so much I need to discuss with her.....like my pain doc closing his office and me needing a new one. Plus the rash on my arm that's been there since April. AND.....When I call there with a problem I NEVER GET A RETURN CALL.....NOR DID MY TDOC'S CALLS get returned.

I wonder if I should take my anxiety med now or suffer through it..... It makes me sooo sleepy. Probably shouldn't take it.

Well, I'm going to wander away..... will wander back later.
Sigh....

I wonder if my Mom was gone if I would still be here??

I wonder if she were gone would I still feel so isolated and depressed??

Such a double edge sword.

I wonder why I can't seem to get it right.

I wonder why I identify so with jadeds Mom....

I wonder why her post reminded me of Juan Ramon Jimenez's words

I am not I.

I am this one

walking beside me whom I do not see,

whom at times I manage to visit,

and whom at other times I forget;

who remains calm and silent while I talk,

and forgives, gently, when I hate,

who walks where I am not,

who will remain standing when I die.

I wonder if I will try to remember that everyone struggles in this life

I wonder if I can leave hugs for the room, especially Abbie and if I
can thank Mark for popping in with his love.

I wonder that I am glad the election is finally here and soon to be over. Iowa has been pummeled with election advertisements on television every day for months now. Sick of it!

I wonder at all the devastation on the east coast as well. And another storm is about to hit them. I hope this storm just slides on by with no further damage.

I wonder that I worry about my daughter. She's lost partial vision in her left eye and is being treated for 'Ocular Histoplasmosis'. She is getting a series of injections directly into her eye to try and minimize further loss.

(((Lara, Dottie, Alffe, Abbie)))

and hugs and love for the room
