Wishing we could sit & visit over a cup of coffee & krimpettes (I’d never heard that word — had to look it up!) & talk about God, beauty & truth & goodness — and chilluns & good folks & & &...
Btw, I’m not Dick, I’m his widow. 10 years this year. Entering the “trauma memory” season. Your comms so gently tickled my funnybone & nudged me into a livelier place. Blessed me much! My name’s Deborah, but I still love Dick ;)) You can call me Dick.
Oh my dearest new friend - thanks so much for writing these words. I've been "on the fence" about whether I should try my "hand" at copy writing--I've always enjoyed the written word and used to write vociferously in my "younger days". Even had one of my poems published in our school newspaper. But I haven't written very much in the past 50+ years. I need to make some extra ducats to be able to strike out on my own once more--can't "make it" on just my S/S retirement income and my small biz has dried up in the past 6 months (after running it from my home for almost 25 years). I believe your telling me this is the Lord's way of saying to me, "Sharon..you CAN have a writing "stint" to earn those extra buckeroos!"
Thank you, Deborah, for the words of encouragement...now I have to lay me down for a nap.....didn't get one today! Naps are essential at our ages, right?
Dick is waiting for you on the REAL SIDE of life--we will know our loved ones in eternity--and we won't ever have "angry words" in the Lord's bright kingdom.
Oh my! I wrote you & somehow lost it & I’m so sorry I didn’t answer sooner!
Your words made me cry. As I read them again today, it started all over again. No more hit & runs to go nap for you!
Well, my friend, I’m trying to figure out how we can exchange emails without telling the world. I have two plans:
1) Keep writing here until it becomes a sub-, sub-, sub-, sub- sub-thread & no-one would possibly be following a couple of gushing silly old bitties anymore. 😂
We could even play it up & be written off entirely. (Hey! I think I’ve just hit on the Miss Marple secret to having fun in old age!)
2) You could start a Substack of your own. I think that gives you access to your subscriber’s emails, by which you could get mine and we’re on our way!
Of course, as a SIDE benefit you’d get to write on it. Try your hand! Write a little or a lot — just keep it fed & watered every few days...& keep up your fine commenting here with Jeff & the amazing folks here & they’ll see next to your name “writes substack: ...... “ with the link and they’ll click on it.& read!...Which I surely and absolutely hope you will do! (I’m sure you’ve thought of this already...)
So, I eagerly await word and pray God will Bless you and your future readers and any subsubsubsubthreads we may produce.
I have subscribed to Substack writers but not for my own "compositions". You can write to me at sharonabend@yahoo.com and I don't mind if others "troll" me there as it was used for many years for other business activities.
See you on Yahoo mail then--blessings abound to you from your fellow "sweet senior" gal!
I love krauts. ...keeps us in the game ;))
Yeppir, Dick--kraut is one of the "super foods" and it aids and abets our autoimmune system big time!
