I want to thank all of you that commented, sent emails etc. regarding yesterdays post.
“When People Demand to Know Your Business”
This has been very a very depressing part of my move to the Charlottesville area, something I have just never been accustomed to in my life, people have been nosy, but not to the point of being demanding repeatedly at one time.
I was very upset by this last time, and I do not like to be upset to the level that I was, thanks to so many of you out there that helped me see the light, to just ignore the roommate, take a drive, go walk around in a shop or a store, but to ignore this shallow person that has nothing better to do than tend to other peoples business.
I am heeding the advice of many and trying to find another living situation, my friend Dyan, made a huge impact on making me see this person in a different light. Thank You Dyan.
I am praying that better days are ahead.
Mitch I am sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you since yesterday. ( I know you understand)
Dyan
My friend, you give me waaay too much credit, but it does make one fell humble.
You have so many people that care for you. Unfortunately we are all hundreds of miles from where you are!!
It would be so nice to give you a call to come over and join us for a meal etc., and give you a chance to chill out.
I remember in my early adult years I made some mistakes in the people I surrounded myself with. It was a difficult lesson for me to grasp for a while, but all at once … I got it! I learned the hard way that needy people are usually that way because it is a lifestyle for them. They will suck you dry of all your energy before you know it. They are never around when you happen to need help. Those folks are the ones you have to take an eraser to and wipe them out of your life. Don’t look back either. Mark them off and chalk it up to experience. You will wake up tomorrow a happier man knowing you have made the effort. It will clear up a HUGE amount of your thinking time on your part each day. People like that clog you up and slow you down in ways you don’t think about until you have divorced them from you life. They drain a huge amount of energy from you. Do not allow that to happen anymore……………………
We have some yucky weather moving back into our part of NM this week. We are having to wait it out until we get a break to get everything loaded, then we can be making our way to TN!! It’s the waiting that is hard.
Please take care of yourself and know Pat and I are thinking of you. BTW, I did read your post about the ” Mourning Baskets”, and I think you are right on target with your description. Let me know how it progresses as you can. I will have Hughes Net internet in TN. Maybe it will be really soon!!!
Many Thanks Dyan, everyone offered good advice like you, and I appreciate all of them and what they offered, you did give insight into some critical areas I had not ever thought of, mainly because I have never had to think in those terms.
I will pray for your safe return to TN and know you will be more at ease when you do get home.
Yes I am going to try to obtain the materials for the “Mourning Baskets” as you know it came to me in a dream so it is God’s Plan, not mine to illustrate all of this and hopefully brighter days ahead when the ribbed baskets will not be black again. unless by choice.
God Speed Pat and Dyan
You wrote that moving ‘has been very a very depressing part of my move to the Charlottesville area, something I have just never been accustomed to in my life’, which is a good reminder to folks to check out an area you may want to move to and try and find an area where people fit your personality more, if at all possible.
As an example I would not do well in NYC, but handle Paris well. Love it here in the remote wild west California Sierras, but wouldn’t like new age or age 55+ communities in areas of places like Arizona.
I will email you privately Beth on how I came to this area and ended up with this roommate, there it is a lot more envolved than I want to explain here.
