I called in my anti anxiety pill prescription today – these are my when I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get the thought wheel to stop pills – I take half and go back to nighty night and thoughtless sleep. The woman at the drugstore said someone here says she’ll bring them to you. “Uh, okay,” I said. A half hour later a friend pulled up and handed me my pills. Nice huh?<\/p>\n
Later, I ran into a friend who is getting out of a 10 year relationship and she looked radiant. She said, “I’m tired of being happy for the both of us.” Hmm, I thought to myself. Hmmm hmmm hmmm. I was on my way into Swirl because I was itchy at home with the house down for their nap and I didn’t know what was eating away at me, but just as I was entering, I had a memory of my mother and I moved over to the side of the building to just work through the shock of tears when another friend saw me and came over to see if I was all right. <\/p>\n
I decided instead to go into the Fairgrounds and sat down with a cup of cocoa and just decided to stare at the exhibit (Your Mom and Dem) that another friend had just hung and was about to enter outer space so I could deal with my grief when another friend called worried about me. She came over to sit with me while I cried and put her arm around me. <\/p>\n
The first friend said that she had left the house and was in a melancholy mood but had kept running into people she wanted to see who made her smile and she felt like it was a gift from the cosmos – people there when you need them. I finally got back in my truck and came home, having worked through about five people – one of whom gave me a shoulder, one of whom gave me their ear, one of whom said I had cheered her up, and one who told me he loved me, and another who made me laugh at the “persona” she had created on Facebook. <\/p>\n
People there just when you need them. I ain’t lying. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
