fine pickle I find myself in NOW......

Well, drat. Here I sit because I am now no longer able to put ANY pressure on my foot. It is really sore now. My friend just came over and we were going to head out for a bite to eat but when I stood up from here to get ready, my foot screamed REALLY LOUD at me and I just sat back down. Hmmmmmm, I thought let's try this again but No - I now am going to have to realize that I can't walk at the moment.

Another friend did however just call and let me know that she just had HER CANE returned from someone else who had borrowed it. SO, now I get to walk around not only being eccentric but LOOKING like it too. The wild redheaded writer with her cane. Watch out! She might smack you.

I am also going to have to get some of those "holey" shoes that everyone else is wearing these days. I might even get some of them with the wild flourescent colours for "dress up". Should be an interesting summer.

I also sent out some queries letters regarding submitting articles to magazines. Joined a site that caters to writers and allows you to essentially blog to a LARGE steady group of people who are already reading it daily. So the enforced sitting will surely turn out to be a God Send. And as we all know by now, if it is sent by God, it's gotta be good.......big grin.

On another note, I ended it with the bad boy/man. Not that he is intrinsically bad but he IS for me and so I am finally able to end it. Was interesting too because this time (and there have been numerous attempts made to end it in the past) as I wrote the letter, I felt this incredible calm come over me. I knew that I had finally decided to become a champion of myself instead of whatever it was that I was with that Soul.

I am a very loving being and there has been this tendancy over the past number of years to find someone to "help and nourish and nurture". That is fine when raising children, but in a potential partner, it is a recipe for disaster. I give and of course who wouldn't want to receive but then again, there are some who are not willing to receive to the depth that I can give. But in the end, I have come to the realization that it is me that I am meant to partner with and then, if it is part of the plan, my Partner Soul will arive.

So big day it appears. My buddy has gone OUT to pick us up some food and she just called from the store to see which colour of those holey shoes I want. She is a very VERY good friend.

Signing off and feeling much clearer about what is next. Hope all is well with you all.

Big hugs from Vancouver
