Ok..... for those that know me they know that i work alot.... at least when I have a project in hand.... (no pun intended)....

When I write I sometimes, not often... go to one or another gay haunts to soak up local color so to speak. I like doing this because I can sit comfortably and drink a soft drink and get alot of work done.

Well, ive been housebound for several days and something happened....

Some of the locals became concerned that I hadn't been around for some amount of days and apparently here in town there is a network of communications to check up on people like me that suddenly drop below the radar.... I got a call from someone that was away on vacation but a part of this network and got a call checking up on me from a long distance away...

I had to go to therapy this evening and we talked at length about this.... My therapist said I should reach out into the community more... I guess he's right so I'm going to try as much as i can.

This has never happened to me before and tonight after therapy I stopped by the local gay club to get a little work done and was asked repetedly as to where i had been and such.....

I was gobsmacked... and I got suddenly very emotional... I never knew, realized.....

I didnt get anything done tonight.... but i talked with several people.... just talking, having a good time.

It felt good.... Real good.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

At last you have evidence that people care for you and about you.

Know that some of this is simply good neighbourliness, but that is no bad thing, and realise that people actually do like you and value your contributions.

You spread more than you realise as you go through life. Not all of that is manure. Wink

Marc, I'm glad you have found out just how much others care about you. It's a good feeling, isn't it ? Good luck with your project.

Your friend,

aqua
