I found this poem about my mother while looking through some old writings. I wish I had sent it to her before she died.

I took a walk with my mother the other day.
I noticed how slowly she moved and tried to match her pace.
It was difficult to do.
I felt compelled to speed up.
I felt held back.
My mother is 73...

Hi again. I wanted to see if I could actually post something or if I would keep getting bounced. So I will try again. I've tried three times to update my dating profile because another member told me it sounded too desparate and maybe too depressing? I'm not so desparate anymore. I know now it's pointless. It's too bad though, because I have so much...

Hi SG,
I'm going to try a test, this is only a test.

Once again I have been terrible about writing here. Oh well, no time like the present.
I had a tough week dealing with the sale of my late mother's condo and trying to find a place for many of her things here at home, but things are looking up. Time will take care of the pain.
I wish I chose my friends better, one in...

Hi...
I am back from a very difficult and emotional trip to Illinois to close my mother's condo and take care of her estate. I don't have words right now to describe my feelings. I need to write and paint to figure out how I feel and time to grieve.

I hope to make some more friends here. It seems I need to reach out...

Hi,
I'm off to Illinois to settle my late mother's estate. I'll be glad when the paperwork is done, then maybe I can grieve the way I should've been allowed to do before. I hope I can make some friends here...I love this site, but don't know how to fit in really. Isn't that the goofiest picture...I look like a Captain Kangaroo reject.
Bye for...

Hello again,
Life isn't so bad after all. My mother's death has put me on an emotional rollercoaster. I go from deep depression to moderately high, highs...the other day (and my journal entry reflected this) was a low. Now I can see the sunshine again.

I wish Niobe would be my friend again...don't know what happened. Maybe my absence from here? Where are you?

Maybe...

Okay, So I've been AWOL again, sorry. I will try to be better about this. I have several handwritten journals that I've started and never filled up so why should this be any different? The truth is I think life sucks right now and I don't think anyone would want to hear about it from me. To be blunt, I haven't had sex in over...

Hello,
I'm sorry for being AWOL, but I've had too much to deal with lately and haven't had a chance to write anything here. Which just adds more stress to my life because I love this site and many of the people I've met here.
Anyway, good news is I had a great teaching job interview yesterday which gives me hope that that part of...

Greetings,
I am new here and writing in this journal will take a little getting used to as I don't usually say much. I am married, 26 years, but frustrated in many ways. I used to be a travel agent, but I just completed my degree to teach art, hopefully to younger kids (K-5th grades). I love all kinds and styles of painting and drawing....
