A moment of thanks
January 23, 2011
Thank you to everyone for your warm wishes about the engagement and the outpouring of support when I had to say goodbye to my beloved pup of 16 years.
It’s probably strange but in some ways, it’s much easier for me, a normally intensely private person in real life, to share some of these things here in this space than it is to tell people of my joys and sorrows. As one person new to my life protested not being told about the engagement, I smiled and said, well what did you expect?Ā You sat to my left and I was wearing the ring.Ā Did you really expect me to stand up and make an announcement about myself?
But here, it’s ok and I really appreciate y’all being here to support that.Ā
Thanks for being here. Thanks for speaking up and thanks for caring.
Now I’m coping by buying gifts for people and pushing myself back into a PF routine, so off we go.Ā
I sometimes find the pf community a lot nicer and more supportive. Thank you for sharing your life with us. š
Sorry I’m late– congrats on your engagement! That’s wonderful news (almost wrote noos… too tired haha). I’m also very sorry about your dog, 16 years is a long time. You will adjust over time though, hang in there. š
