Aliens and Ferris Wheels
Changed my" vision statement" a few days ago-- thinking about the DFO's in Australia- direct factory outlets- huge malls, no thrills, no extras, bare bone retailing--- Nothing special, what you see is what you get--- -- you know, they know, their purpose-- no hidden agenda--- Had to remind myself what my blogging is about--and I liked those initials-- DFO---Direct Freaking Outlet--that's why I started and why I continue-- if it sounds like I'm freaking out at times, oh well, you're just along for the ride, it's my ride, get off if it makes you dizzy---
About aliens-- if you have to ask if you're in the same "club" , you're not----it's unspoken, like aliens living in a human world, going about their business, until they encounter another alien, there is a telepathic awareness of their unique connection--I'm sure Mikki knows we walk the same path, but ultimately separate, and enter different doors-- I have Frank and she has her sons, the issues and complexities are vastly different-- not more nor less, just different--- and unlike the death of a parent, though heartbreaking and painful, we always expected the ride to end based on when the ride began, there is a natural order, an" it's our turn" mentality--- the problem is when the ride stops too soon---

Absolutely no "sympathy" comments-- now what I need, or want-- just understand that I need to understand--- no sorries---!!!
You're right about feeling like an alien in a human world. I remember just after Max died, walking among all these people who just had no clue, who did not know what I now know, who did not see just how different I had become. And all the people who had lost someone knew me right away, and knew what language I spoke, while all the "normal" people didn't know what to say or do. I have slowly begun to feel more human and less alien, but I know that I have been permanently changed - I will never be happily oblivious again. But that's ok... my new point of view has made some things in life so much richer.
Love you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mikki--- I just knew you'd get it- it's impossible to explain---and you're right- you learn not to take anything for granted-- love you too!!!
