Hello Lounge

[rbnyc]

Today is the 8th anniversary of my car accident. Many of you were here and remember first hand. I have been aware of this anniversary coming up and have wanted to come say something, mostly thank you. I had family and friends around me and was truly blessed with support during this life-changing challenge. The hundreds of message from my friends in the lounge that were printed for me when I was in the hospital, all the cards, phone calls and flowers, I will never forget.

Some of the folks that showed such true friendship at that time are no longer here. We all miss them, khephra, blondeatlast, more...

I've been having a hard time getting along with folks over in GD for the past few days. I've been too defensive, I've taken folks either too literally or too seriously, I've had a hard time reading tone, or I've just gotten pissed off over what's being said.

There are so many people here and so many user names. Sometimes I find I respond to the message and don't even realize who I am talking to. Sometimes I realize I'm being rude to someone that I actually really like. Sometimes I wonder if someone I'm being snippy with over in GD is a same someone I've been friendly with over here. Sometimes I think that I am so grateful for this community and for the friendship I've been shown, but can treat the same people I'm grateful for with disrespect if they say the wrong thing to me in another forum.

I will try to say what I mean and stand up for what I believe and lighten up at the same time.

I have one request today. Please check out my music video in the link below and let me know what you think.

1. My dear rbnyc...

Alas, I did not know you when you had your accident...I am sorry to hear that you suffered such a terrible thing.

But I'm really glad you had so much support from the good people of the Lounge!

Now, I would be very happy to check out your music video, but alas, I am using my laptop on my trip, and the sound is so tinny that I cannot listen to it.

I will bookmark your thread, and listen when I get home...

:hug:

2. I hope Will gave you a big hug for me...

...and told you how crazy I am about you, as I requested.

:loveya:

Listen at your leisure and enjoy.

4. Tomorrow is my 8th wedding anniversary.

I was married in the hospital. My husband and I talked last night about how much the car accident changed the course of our lives and all the good things we have now that may not have come into our path if things had been different.

Thanks again for all your kind words. Now I'm going to get off the computer and really get into the present.

5. That song is beautiful.

Your voice reminds me a lot of Bliss Blood, and that's a big compliment, and she's one of my favorite singers ever.
