a few nights ago i was having a crisis. one might call it a scare or a moment of terror or one might call it a coming to jesus. it rather depends on your leaning and your idea of what's what. i made a few calls and got answering machines. charlie climbed on the bed and curled up close and i was riding out the storm.

i have wonderful people in my life, they all arrived about the same time by which time i was about ready to go to sleep and instead had to sit there trying to explain my utter confusion. and no, i hadn't been drinking or doing anything else. snork.

i've been going through some sort of something in the past several months and i've been cleaning house in a way, having conversations with folks to make sure i knew where i stood with them. no anger or judgment, just a series of true conversations that i hoped were leading me to clarity or at least to some place i could claim as my own. that night i had such a heaviness of spirit and my house seemed to be wrong, off like it was dragging me down. and charlie kept barking at my 's door which was flipping a switch in my paranoia jungle.

so my five callees started guessing and thinking and i starting dozing and hoping they'd all stay til i fell asleep - strength in numbers and all that. weezer climbed into bed. charlie too. gina and maurice and boo did some blessings. my sister and her husband prayed over me. rachel saged the hell out the place. i reckon all possibilities were covered. Rachel and susan sacked out in Zach's room cuz she said that's where whatever was whatever it was was happening. weezer sacked out with me. everyone else took off and charlie took up the position.

it's weird to be the one to ask for help. it's weird to not really ask for help and just have it arrive. it's like being loved twice over.

i'm sure i would have made it through the night without. but making it through the night wasn't what this felt like. it felt like now i could make it through whatever. because even though i never asked, they came.

who ya gonna call?

and the image is one my brother sent me - his note with it was "i bet god had a great time designing this one"

pretty isn't it?

What a wonderful response team. After all that the house should be very peaceful.

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

Unlike you, I only have my son to call on. My real friends are all back in Florida, so they couldn't come to my side. I'm glad I have my son and my dogs to keep me company. I don't know what I'll do when he leaves.

The quail picture (I think that's what it is) is amazingly beautiful. I'm glad you have the friends and family to keep you comfortable and happy.

Blessings,

Holy heart failure, batman! This doesn't sound like the WE I know. You're always the one helping and nurturing others in need! Was it an anxiety attack of some sort?

I'm glad your Charlie was there to comfort you until all of your friends arrived. Nice to have great friends like that. It must've made you feel warm and fuzzy all over so that you could forget about your troubles!

You take care now, sweetie!

You are blessed to have those so near and so ready to help.

I have a few who would be here should I need or get freaked out. My bigger fear is doing something stupid like falling down the stairs (which has happened before)....and because I don't talk to people every day and even with a roommate and her children, It could easily be 24 hours or more in some instances where I would have no help and where no contact with others would not be considered unusual.

You have wonderful friends! I'm glad they were there for you. It's so frustrating to be feeling out of sorts and anxious and to not have anyone around to help soothe your mind and heart.

Never ignore those who care for you

big hugs...and it makes me smile that a woman who gives so much can also open up to accept. That it was unasked out loud, well that just seems like a lovely bit of grace. I needed to hear this story right at this moment in my life when I'm feeling quite alone for the first time in 25 years. That too, grace. Peace to you, my friend...and peace to me too! xoxo

Always tell the truth
Use kind words
Keep your promises
Giggle and laugh
Be positive
Love one another
Always be grateful
Forgiveness is mandatory
Try new things
Say please and thank you
Say your prayers
Smile

Ya know, oui-oui...

I figured out long ago how to avoid having to "clean house". I take a sample of the dirt, outside the entry door, on down to the local Home Depot... and tell 'em--

"I need some carpet, tile, and paint. Match the colors to this dirt."

Works like a charm.

I love you, WE. And I'm so glad that you were loved when you needed it!

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

I remember a night like that decades ago. In my case I had one friend who sat with me and steadied me. I'm not surprised that you have many such friends.
