Honestly what is on your mind this very moment?

[pomtzu]

This thread grabbed me because I opened the page in a struggle to find something to put away what is on my mind right now. Maybe it is a sign that I am meant I express it instead.

You must have been reading my mind with that statement.

Without sounding too morbid - I was thinking of cremation vs burial - for myself when the time comes. I am divorced and will NEVER remarry, so there is no loving spouse to lay next to for eternity, and who knows where the rest of my small family will be located when they go. I really think it's a waste of money for a plot, casket, marker, etc - for what???? How often will anyone really "visit" me - once a year maybe at best once the initial grief has worn off and then only if they still live in the area. If I do choose cremation, the ashes of my RB pets that I have, will be mixed with mine and scattered in the ocean - my very favorite place to be! I would rather see any money that may be left when I do go, be distributed between my son and 2 grandkids where it can be used for college or schooling of their choice. So much better than dumping it into a hole in the ground!

OK - now I REALLY need to do something cheerful...........

I am thinking of my hammy Whisk who went to the RB monday... I miss him so much.

Wow, there is so much on my mind it's not even funny.
I am tired of certain people here at work and would like to express myself to them, but I don't want to lose my job. At the same time I need to find another job. Closer to home and preferrably one that pays more. But I am comfortable and lazy. I don't like seeing my co-worker (who was my friend before becoming a co-worker) stressed, angry and upset.
Gosh, see, there's so much up there that I can't get it all out to make any sense to anyone.

I'm also thinking about all the things I still need to do at home to get the house ready for the party we are having this Saturday.

I am also thinking about working at the shelter on Sunday and that I can't wait to get there to see the animals and see who was adopted.

I just want to go home!!!

But at least I have Pet Talk to come to and take my mind off of things if even for a brief moment.

Aww, this just makes all of the things I'm worrying about seem like nothing. I am so sorry Ellie.

Mine isn't nearly as deep as some of the others--I'm thinking I'll be very glad when our 2 year old is through the potty training phase and out of diapers completely.

I am thinking I am so glad my oldest is a senior this year, we went and took her senior portraits yesterday. Getting her through high school should have earned me a gold medal, maybe even a purple heart.

Seriously when I went to high school there were not that many kids dropping out and doing independent study, I tell my daugher you have one responsiblity and that is school just wait till adult life hits!

Wow, what a thought to be thinking. How do you know you will not find love? Maybe you will find it in unlikely places? Personally, I want to be cremated, I want my ashes to be spread in my favorite nature spot. If my loved ones want to visit that spot, so be it, but only to find peace and solitude like the place did for me and not to morne over me.

Before I read any other people's posts, I will say what I am thinking.

I am trying to decide what to do today. I probably have enough gas to get to and from the one stable that I want to go visit today. I am going around and checking out the nearby stables before I make my decision on where I want to take lessons.
I also want to go to Walmart and buy some provisions because I don't have much in my cabinet right now. I have a gift card to there, but no cash.
I just realized I could probably use one of my new checks that came today to get at the $50 in my brand new checking account, but I don't know if I should. I have to buy gas tomorrow anyway to get to my class. Tonight I am watching my little brother, so I should make about $20 but my parents pay me at the end of the month for that.

I was thinking about my engagement ring, which I was under the impression would be here by now. I'm so impatient, I've got the phone in my hand and I'm ready to call....but I'm worried they'll be annoyed with me because I KNOW they told me several times they'd call when it was here. Sigh.

At least you are getting a ring. LOL. I am patiently waiting for my boyfriend to ask me. It's been more than a year.

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 5 1/2 years!! I've pretty much given up on the idea all together though. It makes it easier than worrying and wondering about it. I'm happy, that's all that matters.

I'm glad to be home from work. Excited the NFL season starts tonight. And excited to go to my friend's racing school on Saturday, but dreading the house cleaning I need to do between now and then!

Well - we've all got to go there someday.

No more men - one was enough. I'm getting too old to have the patience to train another one! LOL Ironically - today WAS my wedding anniversary.

I am thinking about the sadness and grief in the above posts.

I am thinking about how I am going to get by.

I am thinking about a job interview that I have to be at in an hour and a half.

I am thinking about my classes and whether they're applicable towards a degree. Hoping I am not wasting my time and FA!

[Zippy]

I am thinking of North Carolina.The beautiful beach and sand,along with all the tourist stores,condos where a used to live and the friends I left behind 6 or so years ago.

I was thinking that I wish my oven would hurry up & preheat at 325
because I have taco shells to heat. So trivial compared to some thoughts
expressed here.

K9soul, I feel so bad that you are still hurting & wish I had something to help
you get back into life. You need to fall in love with LIFE again. You have so
much to contribute, I hope you find a way.
