Pick Me Up
What is the one word or phrase that immediately cheers you up when you hear it?
“Friends are coming to visit!”
That does it every time. Since I’ve been out of the hospital, now more than a month, visits from friends and family have totaled zero. Lots of promises, but I haven’t seen anyone in the flesh. No smiles or hugs except electronically. A few phone calls, a handful of emails, a couple of cards.
I guess everyone is busy.
If anyone out there feels like dropping by, hey, I’d love to see a smile on a face I love!

I hope you’re doing well after being hospitalized. A big hug from Pamplona, Spain.

Rio as in Brazil? Always wanted to see Carnivale!

Oh yes, Rio de Janeiro. We were there about a week before the Mardi Gras (Carnival) . The prices probably triple at Carnival. They were still preparing for it and it was fun to see. They would have practice events that everyone could go to (small parades where they would dress up in their costumes). It was quite exciting.

I’d love to visit you. But 3,000 miles is more than a couple hours of driving. Sending BIG warm hugs and conversation.

Yes, that’s a bit of a drive, even in the fast lane!

I’d visit, Marilyn, if I weren’t so ruddy far away! I’d make something utterly self-indulgent, involving chocolate probably, or crystalized ginger, and would totter round, basket in hand and hang out with you guys and the Furry Kids. Meanwhile, hugs – Ali xxx

I wish I was up that way…I would come visit! I never see anyone either. Hubby is always in his own world, so even when he’s home, I’m alone. Hugs hon

Usually I manage to keep myself busy, so the isolation doesn’t bother me. But there’s so much I can’t do right now that usually fills me days, I feel the lack of human contact …
Oh well. Life just is 🙂 Thank you for your kindness.
