Roller Coaster of Emotions...

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. I've been excited, let down, worried, feeling angry, and hurt. It's amazing how certain things can make a person feel a certain emotion.

To start off, on Wednesday, Grandma K and Mama came down and we did some shopping. We went to the Dress Barn where I found some amazing items. I bought three dresses! One is this pretty brown/pink spaghetti strap dress with an empire waist...which is my style. Makes me look taller and hides what needs to be hidden. The next dress was a very floaty type dress. Kind of reminds me of something from the 60s era. The last one was a dress for Vegas. I think I found my "wedding" dress. Again this one has an empire waist with a very floaty light skirt. Gorgeous! This made me feel happy and very excited.

On got to work on Thursday, and there was a message from Vickie saying she wasn't able to go out this weekend...the weekend we've been planning for the last month. She didn't want to talk about it. This had me feeling worried and a little let down. If she canceled because she was having issues, it must be a big one. I'm giving her the space she wants. I know she'll let me know what's up when she's ready to talk. She knows I'm here for her.

Noah told me too on Wednesday afternoon that he received a call that his cousin's husband had killed himself. My heart just sank. I asked what had happened. He told me they got into a fight, and he went into their back yard, and shot himself. What? Over an argument? There had to be more to this story...and there was. Ofelia had called last night and mentioned that Alan had gone back to drug use. They got into a huge beat down fight. He thought he had killed her, so he went in his back yard and shot himself. He was 31 years young and left behind two young children. I feel really badly for Nicki. I pray for her daily.

Then this morning as I walked into Piggly Wiggly, there was this older gentleman sitting on a bench. When I got closer he smiled at me and said, "Good Morning." So being the nice person I am said good morning back to him. He started ranting and raving about how corrupt the world is and how I contribute to the corruption. This angered me a little. As I walked through the store I was thinking of something to say to him, should he confront me again. Then I thought better of it, and just avoided him altogether.

I got to work, and told the guys about it. An hour later, Tim said, "Your friend is in a bit of trouble." I thought he was talking about one of our clients. He said, "No, someone just called the police to the Piggly Wiggly at North Gate. There is a drunk elderly gentleman sitting on the bench harassing customers as the walk into the store." We had a laugh over it. I took it as a grain of salt, but he probably offended others. And he thinks I add to the corruption of the world? What about him?

So there you have it. The roller coaster of emotions for the last week.

Please keep Kerry, Kim, Vickie, and Nicki in your prayers. They all need your prayers to help get through their individual "healings".

Love you all!
