ahh words of wisdom from a friend ~
'Get your butt back on your bicycle and keep riding.'
I went for a walk. visiting my friends Avis & Bill . . . (I must show you their gorgeous home oneday), I took the post and the email and showed them, had a cry, a cup of tea and now I know what to do ~ ~ ~
I will continue to blog and try to get past yet again another email from someone who obviously doesn't like me and know that it will probably happen again and that each time it happens, it will make me a little stronger - well that is the theory
. . . . . . and I need to try to stop worrying who and who doesn't visit, comment or like me - but it is hard - I am a gal of the 1950's, a product of my upbringing - on the day any girl was born in the 1950', the Drs stamped her forehead with the words 'worry' & ' guilt' - forever marked.
and so many words of support and comfort - thankyou.
But it did hurt to receive that email from someone whom I thought was a very good friend - since I began my blogging and was part of my postcard swap - the first swap I ever organized. I am going to leave the previous post here on my blog & re-instate the one that caused all the hoohar in the first place - to remove either is to deny a part of me. because they were my thoughts when I clicked the publish button (love that, I read it on a blog somewhere!) and I don't want this to turn into a witch hunt (ooh, the witch word, more emails) so I am just going to get on with being me - I hope.
and yes, this is my blog * I should be able to write what I like & if anyone doesn't like it why the hell do they keep visiting? I now realize that I have many friends out there who get enjoyment from my ravings & to stop, would be to deny both them and myself from fun!

Right on Girl!!!!!!
Welcome back Robyn!!
Love you
Dotee xoxo
Because you ROCK witchie woman. hehe
Bless your little 1950 something butt on a bike, of course we were born with stuff stamped on our foreheads....most especially the word "BELIEVE"...in shooting stars, things that go bump, greater stuff, peace, and most of all, each other. So you reached out and touched a world by saying what you really felt, we ALL should be brave enough to do that! Keep it up!
Great to see you back Robyn, just keep on going xx
Baby Boomers KICK ###!!!! you GO GIRL! By the way...you are just gorgeous!
Look at your cute self! You are adorable!! I thought you would at least have a wart!

logged in and breathed a sigh of relief to see you back! keep on blogging!

I'm so glad you are back. Your blog is something I look forward to every day. I'm glad you are you!!
We Boomers have to stick together!
Glad you got your butt back here.

Yeah!!! ….your back. I visit your blog because I can relate to you! We have similar musings about life. Mental pause (menopause moments) and all! I find what you have to say interesting and you’re an excellent writer who holds my attention. I’m glad you’re concentrating on the positive followers and dispelling any negativity! Good on you!! Often it takes a great cup of coffee or tea and a good friend to guide us through life’s glitches! Glad to see you’re back on track….for my sake anyways! Love the picture! Very beautiful and youthful looking too!
Peace and giggles to you

Well said Robyn!keep up the good work!
Hugs Miss*R...I'm so glad to see you back. I was shocked yesterday when I read your post and very sad at the same time that someone would send you such an email. I'll never understand people like that, why do they feel they have to be cruel...why not just stop visiting if they don't like what they're reading?? I guess curiosity gets the best of them!! You have many friends, don't let a few bad apples ruin your blogging fun!! We must all remember, our blogs are OURS to do with as we want and to write what we want!!! Chin up girl and keep up with your beautiful blog...you have a very caring heart! Take care!! xoxo
Mais oui, madame! Naturallement, c'est magnifique! xo
Go! girl......Power to you! I am so pleased to see you have taken control and are powed by that.
I am sure those who feel they had the right to tell you how YOUR BLOG! should read are now feeling a little silly.
One of your friends!
