to move or not move

I have been living here in Colorado Springs for almost 3 years now. I like the climate. I like the mountains. I like the people. They are a little on the conservative side for me but they seem to be very nice people. I have been living with my daughter and her family. They have turned out to not be so nice. Maybe nice isn't the word I'm looking for. They are critical, judgemental, controlling and very enmeshed. I didn't know how co dependent my daughter had become. I hadn't been around her for awhile until I moved in. Big surprise. So now I am going to move out either into an apartment in the city in Januuary or relocate back to Pittsburgh from whence I came. I don't like the summers there because of the humidity. The people are a better fit due to it being a more liberal part of the country. I also have a daughter and a son there who I love and relate to better. So I would be able to see them regularly and not see my daughter here in Colorado on a regular basis. Family is important to me so that is a priority and Colorado Springs is a family oriented area but the family I have there, I don't wish to see often and spend my holidays with. They are difficult. I have thrived here in Co, physically. I have great doctors which I didn't have in Pittsburgh. This is important to me since I am 68 and have some problems that need taking care of. I don't have much money and in this area, the average income is $100 grand or more a year. I'm living on a very limited income but I can manage taking advantage of senior benefits. My son and daughter will help out a little. I want to live independently. Living with my daughter and family has not been good for me emotionally. To be fair, it hasn't been easy for her either but it's been worse for me. I don't know what to do. I go over the pros and cons every day; it's driving me nuts. I just can't seem to reach a decision. If i had my druthers I would want to live here in Co with my son and daughter who live in Pa and ship ship the daughter who lives here back to Pittsburgh. If I could wave my magic wand, that's what I'd do. Alas, the world doesn't run on magic so I'm stuck weighing the pros and cons in order to make the right decision. And until I make a final decision, this is where I'm stuck. Any advice is welcome.

God's Blessings

Sometimes I am so caught up with worldly things that I sometimes fail to notice the blessings that God continuously pour upon me. I have been blessed with a very supportive and loving husband. I have two wonderful daughters who are my endless source of joy and inspiration. God is so good and I am thankful that he opened my eyes to His blessings. And I hope that He will continue to instill in my heart the longing for His presence instead of the skin-deep joys and pleasures of worldly things and concerns.

He said: " o each other, we are a gift from God. To me the most speciial and most amazing gift I will ever receive in my life."

I responded: I'm trying not to cry right now. I'm holding back.

He asks: Good cry?

I say: happy tears.. I love you too.

He smiles :)

FourCandlesleft Dec62010 The Fifth Day of Hanukkah sees six candles lighted the ninth candle is the first one lighted to pretend to oil that never ends. The Hanukkiah has only four empty holders. I slip into the sunrise not happy with my fate the only good that comes today is the Christmas Coat. This true story is brought to you bye Charlax the true story teller. The COAT is quilted with the compony logo it was inside the trash bag in the Alley it actual fell from the trash truck when they dumped my fave dumpster the COAT is clean like the Jumpsuit I got yesterday no more need for blankets Iâ€™m set for the cold of winter thank you Jesus. Its the miracle eye was looking for to keep me religious on this Hanukkah so keep looking for my Hanukkiah every Day.

Wow...Its been 11 months since my last entry!!!

I guess I'll start with....her father is getting�better at�being there for her.� And your right--it's not just about the money for me; and no I don't think he's an a-hole.� She wants his attention and he's getting better.� Other than that, I think I'm in a long-distance relationship with a friend I recently reconnected with.� It's been a long time since I've felt this good.� I can't wait for my daughter to meet him and his daughter.� He is a single father, raising his 10 y.o. daughter.� I like the fact that we are getting re-familiar with each other first!!!� I do have some reservations but my happiness is long overdue.� We'll see how this thing goes.� Oh...and he loves the Lord as much as I do.....(and that is a major plus for me).

SevenSadnesses This is supposed to be the third poem for Hanukkah. Then the fire destroyed my good mood. They went to the end of the Earth to burn the prison guards to death. Do you believe in accidents. Or Fate. They were not numbers on the slate. People died. Jewish people of Israel so sad it seems so hard to just continue with my life for now the poems stop. This Second Day of Candle lighting is for the Memorial of the people who were destroyed today in the Fire of the Carmel. Prison Guards brought in for reinforcement 40 men died. So this the Second Candle is flaming now for them. Three Candles lighted counting a Ninth. The Seventh counting down. We will be still going to the Ninth. Eye only hope the news tomorrow is better somehow. The three lights for the second Day of Hanukkah a seven left the two commemorative. Eye pictured the Hanukkiah on fire for the men of Israel who died. SO we close this with one word eye found. Shaddai.
