Hi Sleeper,
Great to see you back. In the past 4 months, I would check on the message board once in a while to see if you had posted anything, it’s always enlightening to read your answers to questions, which I may have had in my mind but never asked. It’s a breath of fresh air to see you back, even if for only a quick chit chat.
Good things have happened to me in the past few months. In April, I was promoted in my company and won the green card lottery – this means a lot for one that does not take this country for granted. In May, I met a girl that made me believe in love again, then again, we broke up and I am not sure now. : (
The first time I posted on your board, I asked, “why do romantic situations give you the blues (the good kind and the bad kind)?” Here I am again. This girl had just started an EMBA program at an Ivy league school when we started dating. She said she feels guilty for not spending enough time with me and she doesn’t have enough time for herself (sounded selfish, and I wonder if that is the only reason). She’s in discovery mode, new things, new people, and the last thing I want is to hold her back; I’ve been supportive all along, so I said to her I want to keep our friendship alive and hope I can keep opening her eyes, in our time here. In a trip to the Lake Tahoe area, we were star gazing one night when 2 specks of light, one following the other very closely, dashed through the sky very quickly: enough time for me to spot them first and point her to them, and then tell her to remember that moment – a beautiful moment, a sign. I don’t know what the lights were, but it was something I have not seen before (not jets, airplanes, wheather balloons).
It is tough, difficult to see her as a friend, heart wrenching at times. Why? Why am I being tested this way? Sorry for the long note. I try to stay positive to steer away from the dark side, having bad thoughts drives me crazy, but I feel a bit lost now.
Next week, I am going to NYC to visit my sister. I am planning on giving her your book, A Day with ET. I can't wait to see her reaction. Good to read you and your family are doing well.
Cheers,
Jlaw
Hi Jlaw,
Everything we receive in our lives is a gift. Some gifts we would rather not have yet those are the ones that are the most important.
Our lovers are mostly chosen for us, but along the way we have other encounters and they all matter in the big picture.
"Always" appreciate the joy that comes your way and more will follow, in the same package or other packages.
Sleeper,
Your message put me back on track. I am at peace and grounded. How could I ever thank you enough. I am appreciating all the joy that is coming my way. ;D
You appeared at the right time, not before or after. Let me know if I could ever do anything for you. I hope you stick around for a while.
Cheers,
Jlaw
