Thank you, my friend. I've been having a couple of really tuff days. So much anger...at the world, the girls, Bryan, Jerry...me...her. I did manage to get her desk cleaned off today for her and the monitor replaced. The silly thing actually blew up on me the day she left. I sat down here to see if I could gain any insight--grasping at straws--and two minutes after bringing up her screen the picture started doing the wave, it cracked and popped once, and died in a puff of smoke coming out the top.  Of course Bryan showed up with a monitor that someone donated yesterday, so today I was able to do this for her. I found this song in her library...never heard it before...and alto I know she was sending it to me, I find very little comfort in it right now and think it's just a silly stupid song about not choosing the easy way out. Some of the lyrics burned straight into my heart, tho... Your knees get weak
And your heart grows cold
And youre tired of doing everything youre told
And nothing can take away from you
What you take and what youve been through[/b] You might be right
You might be wrong
You might just think your life has gone on for too long
Your knees get weak
And your heart grows cold
And youre tired of doing everything youre told
And nothing can take away from you
What you take and what youve been through
Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
It wont take long
You cant go wrong
Stand up and be strong
You might have to fight
You might have to cry
You might have to cry
You might have to fight
Stand up and be strong
If you live in the hills
You take too many pills
If youve lost the thrill
Against your own will
Stand up and be strong
And nothing can take away from you
What you take
Well you know what youve got to do
Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
It wont take long
You cant go wrong
Stand up and be strong
If you get all depressed
When you get undressed
If youre lifes a mess
Remember youre blessed
Stand up and be strong  |

You're welcome.  I sooo understand the anger. I still get angry whenever I start thinking about my dad. I'm angry because he wasn't the man/husband/dad I wish he had been. I'm angry because I didn't give him a piece of my mind when he was alive. We walked around on eggs shells to not set him off or get on his bad side. And when I get angry I tell him how much I hate him, and that I wish I had kicked him out of my life and told him to "go to hell!"
Dr. Phil is always telling everyone to patch things up before the person dies so that you don't regret cutting them out of your lives, and I regret not cutting him out of my life, and also for allowing him to continually hurt me. And for still letting him hurt me even though he's dead.
I know I need to let the anger go in order to move on. I'm hurting me by hanging on to it. I'm doing better. I hope you can let it go after the grieving has run its course.
Shit, I need a hug too.

LX's playlist and mine somehow got mixed up on our Ipod accounts, and usually I just skip over her stuff as fast as possible, but this one I heard roller-skiiing this morning, and let it play. Actually, I played it twice because I liked it. I think it's off of one of the mixes you sent her, Q. For all you Sweet Taters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=32Bue0AZDKg&feature=related Streetcorner Symphony It's morning I wake up The taste of summer sweetness on my mind It's a clear day In this city Let's go dance under the street lights All the people in this world Let's come together More than ever I can feel it Can you feel it Come on over Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers of every different color Can't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight Things will be alright Try to find a better life Come on over Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers, there for one another Won't you come on over Man, I know you wanna let yourself go Some people It's a pity They go all their lives and never know How to love or to let love go But it's alright now We'll make it through this somehow And we'll paint the perfect picture All the colors of this world will run together more than ever I can feel it Can you feel it Come on over Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers of every different color Can't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight Things will be alright Try to find a better life Come on over Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers there for one another Won't you come on over We may never find our reason to shine But here and now this is our time And I may never find the meaning of life But for this moment I am fine So Come on over Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers of every different color Can't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight Things will be alright Try to find a better life Come on over Down to the corner My sisters and my brothers there for one another Won't you come on over On and on and on and on and on and on and..... |

Just poking my head in to say hi, not a whole lot to report, but guess if I just stopped by whenever I have some big news you all would never see me [ who said that sounds good?  ] Take care all. |

I have a couple of announcements...not sure if this is the right place, but I know there are a bunch of you all that might want to know...so...
Closing of Cafe & Tea House (Clarksville, IN)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reply to: sale-895603200@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2008-10-27, 3:14PM EDT
Tea House & cafe...items too numerous to list...tables & chairs, cups, tea glasses, cabinets, utensils, appliances, tea sets, coffee urns, dishes, etc...
Open-house sale SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1ST from 8 AM-?? at Cup of Sunshine Tea House & Cafe 415 Riverside Dr Clarksville, IN. (in the location where the Widow's Walk Ice Creamery used to be..across from Ashland Park)
Due to the unexpected death of my life and business partner, this is a MUST SEll ONE DAY ONLY thing. I do not wish to be contacted prior to Saturday about anything. If you are interested in helping out--both emotionally and financially, please come by Saturday and see what is there.
Thank you
Marquetta Tinsley
Owner-Cup of Sunshine
And then, there has been no obituary (always hated that word), and I'm not sure if this will be in tomorrow's papers or Wednesday's...
Mary Pelly, one of those souls that "burned too brightly for this world" has found her peace in the next life. She found that peace on October 16, 2008 at Quarry Bluff in Utica, IN. She was 37.
Mary is survived by two daughters, Hillary Pelly, 17 and Summer Pelly, 15. She also leaves behind her loving life partner, soul mate, and best friend of the past six years, Marquetta Tinsley. Together they owned and operated Cup of Sunshine Tea House & Cafe located across from Ashland Park in Clarksville, IN.
Mary loved the sun and the water and spent every spare minute of each day trying to embrace the comfort that she found from her corner spot on the veranda at the cafe.
A celebration of Mary's life will take place at the cafe on Thursday, October 30 at 4 PM for anyone wishing to attend. Reverend Susan EngPoole from Unity of Louisville will be in charge of the service.

Beautifully worded, see it as not an obituary but a remembrance.
Although I won't be at the celebration in person I'll most certainly be there in spirit, with all of you in my thoughts.
To quote an old friend ... peace and love.

Go ahead and admit it, Chel; there's no shame. You are addicted to YouTube, aren't you.
I'll be there hangin' with you today, Sis, in the form of all my good thoughts and karma. You hang in there too; we all love you.
Love, and Hugs.
