Friends of Mine
A dear friend of mine recently asked me about how I am doing, emotionally, through all of this of my health problems. And I told her (I told Donna) about that I am sort of trying to not think about it of that it's possibly my health could get worse, but to, instead, focus on and work on as much as possible to keep myself busy so to not think about it. I also work to keep busy to take in as much of life and enjoyment as I can, as well as to try to get as much done as possible as I can. That friend of mine, as wlel as those who are currently reading my blogs have all been there for me through this, and I cannot ever repay them, enough, for this. I sincerely am appreciative. These friends who critique my writing for me and encourage me, they are great writers. I have bought their books and have read most of those books I've bought, by now. So, I do truly know that they are great writers. Although, I'd never doubted it, before having bought their books (I'm currently smiling, happily, about that). These friends, most I'd met through multiple groups on Writer's Digest, where I host a poetry group called 'Poetry Corner." One friend (Norma Beishir), I'd met through another dear friend of mine named Collin Beishir. Collin had met me online, first, then in person, later. And then, I'd met his mother, Norma Beishir. Both Collin and Norma write, And they like similar and some same shows that I do. And they, as well as the rest of my friends whom also know each other, have almost the same type of humour. It's awesome. Just when I am down about something, or am stressed about something (like if CJ calls), Norma and Collin say something that is funny in support of me about that situation of dealing with CJ (long story about CJ that I prefer to not go into within this blog piece). Anyway, with my friends constant humour about a heck of a lot of stuff, including stuff we talk about as a separate writers' group (as a group called WMD), we get to joking around and being humourous, which really can help brighten a day. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of this group and of their lives, and am glad that they are a part of mine.
