Good Morning Campers!
How the devil are you?? I hope everyone had a good weekend..why am I so cheerful on a Monday morning you might ask? because I am off until Wednesday..;-) BUT then I am working 6 days straight..yep I am filling in for another girl on vacation..there is a lot happening at the clinic but I can't say too much until it's all out in the open but more changes are on their way...<sigh>
I had a pretty good weekend..we didn't do too much of anything..just kind of hung around here..a couple of trips to the store etc but that was about it..we did go to Booksamillion and I have another couple of books to keep me busy....
Thanks to Gayla for introducing me to the world of photo bucket and letting me use the one year AOL Journal graphic she had...thanks hunny...check out my side bar....
One of hubbies young sailors wives committed suicide this weekend..no rhyme or reason ..just went in the house ahead of her Mother in law and did it..no details yet but the young sailor had to be sedated....hubby was visibly shaken by it...just breaks your heart to think something could have bothered that young girl that bad that she saw no other way out.. made me do a little soul searching of my own... I will confess that while I have never actually contemplated suicide I have thought many times about my own funeral and how people would react if I died..etc..I have played the whole scene over in my head..I have also done that with my hubby...imagined how it would be if he died etc..especially when he was sick.. I have this fascination with death and the after life ..I wish that I could truly believe that there is a heaven and we will be reunited with our loved ones again...but as my Dad the old philosopher will say that is something that can never be proved he and I have a pact though..I have mentioned this before.. if there is any way possible way he will give me a sign if he passes first....(I apologize for the macabre turn this post has taken!)
Have a great week everyone!!

Hi Glad your weekend went well.Its a crying shame for the young girl and her family, so so sad. I do think there is someone there to meet us and take us onto our next journey when we die. Or i would like to think we come back as a bird. lol strange i know but its my vision. I Hope you have a good week.

I love photo bucket!
Enjoy your days off.

I like the image of your flags flying. Enjoy your time off. --Cin
I am very very sorry the young woman took her life. Before doing such a thing, a lot of distorted thinking takes place. At least, that was my experience when I was feeling suicidal.
loving you

The sailor will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hate to see even one of our boys in uniform hurting.

I was very happy to offer the help and glad you got your one year graphic displayed! You will love Photobucket.
So sad to hear about the suddent suicide. Her poor family. In many ways Lyn you and I feel the same ways about the after life. Not to go into too much about all of this here in a public comment, but someday we can talk about this subject vie e-mail or something.
Huggers,
Gayla
Glad you had a good weekend. I am very sorry to hear about the young woman who committed suicide. Her husband must be shattered.

News like that is sure to make you sit up and take stock. I can't imagine being so desperate that I'd contemplate suicide. B. x
I think everyone wonders if there is an after life. In fact, I thought to go as far as I could into the other world to see if I could assure myself death was not the end. In many different ways I became convinced that if life was as good as it was, then death would not be a nightmare either, but a way to leave a worn out or sick body, a way to escape a killer, a way to end pain. I like to believe it is designed to be the perfect escape hatch when it is needed. I also like to think that I have received signs and messages from beloved relatives that they live on. In fact whenever I had a dream about someone passed on, I came to regard it as a visit.
But extreme skeptics don't believe this! Gerry
I'm glad you had a good weekend :)
I'm so sorry about the sailors wife! Death is so hard but especially in a situation like that. Many prayers!

It's really hard to understand someone taking their own life isn't it. I think a person must have to be in a really bad place mentally to be able to that. It's really sad. I hope that you are enjoying your days off and resting up for your big run of work later this week.

That is so sad about the young woman <sigh> the rhyme or reasoning of anything like that is lost to the one's left behind. I don't know what to say...
I think if/when you pass on Lyn - you'd want them to be having a party for you...but then, I may be wrong. Most probably am LOL. Hugz, Teresa
Lol, feel like I'm getting tested for my eye exam here. As for talking about the macabre, in all honesty you where simply talking about a cycle that happens to us all in this life. I'm one of those people who believe we are born into another life. It's always sad when someone so young chooses to end their life..........I have been on that edge, sometimes nothing at all can be the reasoning, other times everything. (Hugs) Indigo
Sorry to hear about the young girl who took her life. How awful. Its just so sad. The poor young husband who has to cope with it is tragic. I have only ever known one person who has committed suicide. It was a girl who worked at our place as a floating secretary. She was a very nervous girl and used to be very highly strung. One day we were told she had thrown herself under a train, it was so shocking. I think these poor souls are out of their right minds when they do it, not even considering the people left behind and how they will cope with what they have done. I do believe there is something after death though Lyn, it just can't be so final. Hope the work thing works itself out and that its ok for you. Hugs, Terry x
how sad.....ti take own's life!
Becky
Well we all have our litte secrets and crosses to bare. It was so sad to read about the young girl though......... I think you are back at work now as its wednesday!
Gaz xxx
mmmmm..........I wonder about my death and if anyone will actually turn up for the funeral. It's strange the things we think about huh? That's sad about the young guy's wife though :( Hope you enjoyed your days off xx
Jenny
Awwww i am so sorry to hear about that young girl.....i guess we never know just how bad things must get to prompt us to take our own life.
My thoughts and prayers are with her husband
