Status: offline 		Dearest Blue, thank you for the laugh this morning, I needed it! I guess we have found a new version of singing the Blues! Every time I'll put on another blue top I will be thinking of you! Laughter is a real gift for which I am very grateful! My hairdresser had sold me this new shampoo called "so silver". You guess what happened. I told him it should be called "so blue"! He now offered to take it back and refund me. He had to agree that my hair was no longer silver! While we are having fun with "blue stories" (which has a very different meaning in German) let me mention another one from my past. I lived with a community without washing machine. Everything went into a huge tub, like a cauldron, heated from below. My blue petticoat turned pink, the rest of the laundrey blue! Did not put happy faces on everyone!

Again, thank you for all the good cheers,
Have a great day!
Love,  Edda

Thank you for those lovely 'BLUE' stories  (people will be wondering if they have come to the wrong Forum!!)

All I can add is that Blue is my favourite colour and it is also the colour of Healing.

Blue dear, you have sent us a fair amount of healing today.

Love J

Any body want an M &M?????
 
Star, I am not sure what I am on but I do know that ZIGGY and I are cousins!!!! Think I was one of those kind of kids that Doesn't have a clue"!!! the "lights on but nobody's home"!!! But there is beautiful MUSIC in my heart and soul!
 
EDDA, Once again I am laughing but not at you but with you........we need to compare notes on the "SILVER" stuff!!!! And pleassssssssse, DON'T HELP ME WITH LAUNDRY!!!!! Bad enough I am trying to make excuses for my PINK SOCKS!!! that are suppose to be white!!! And I promise I wont tell any one your wearing a pink petticoat!!! (snicker's& giggles)
 
JUDITH, I haven't told anyone these life stories of mine, I guess I got caught up in the thread!!!  But how interesting it has been, to learn the many meanings of the word and or color of BLUE. I do agree that BLUE is soothing and to know that it is healing as well is the topping on the cake! But from Edda I have also learned it means faithfulness. Could it be that in this thread I am learning as I type???Could it be that I am truly needing healing and trying to heal myself, and that I am trying to be faithful to my God and my friends?
 
There is so much need for prayer here, a need for love, a need for help by so many of Gods children. I ask myself ..........could it be that God has given me humor to not only help myself but to help others?? Even if it is for just a fleeting moment? In my heart of hearts, in my sorrow, my daily life and what I see, feel and touch I think if I do not bring and let out my humor I will be back to my first POST. I think God has blessed me with laughing at myself as a way to keep me from giving up. I still have so much on my shoulders, I am overwhelmed, but how I thank God for sending me here. To meet so many who care and love.
 
If I offend anyone I am truly sorry, but maybe my thread is a document and a testimony to Gods work. For others to see and feel the love and friendship of strangers who become family. And we are so blessed to see the many miracles here that have taken place with all our friends. Answered prayers, more blessings to come and more prayers to be said..
 
I guess I am trying to say...I'll try to keep to the business at hand, and I am very 'GRATEFUL"  for this wonderful site. May God bless those responsible for they and there creativity are a blessing for so many.
 
But if I act up in the future, just remember, I have a need to try to make people smile, and just think of me as the ornery child of the family. In my mind and heart I like to think of God as not hell and damnation, but I want to believe  he is LOVE, KINDNESS, CARING and I really hope and pray he has HUMOR!
 
God Bless and keep you all in his heart.
Blue

Status: offline 		Blue, I love your stories.  I think humor is a real gift, and I'll bet God DOES snort! 

I don't know you very well, but I hope your laughter is a healthy thing for you.  I know you've had tough times too.  Laughing can be a good coping skill for some, but others laugh because they think it's not OK to shed tears.  And you can't experience one without the other.  If you numb your pain, you also numb your joy.  So I hope you're embracing both your laughter and your tears.  And I thank you for giving me a laugh today!

Hugs,
Lori

God must have a sense of humor or why would there be penguins! As a matter of fact I think God rather enjoys when we use our sense of humor to lighten the burdens of daily life. So, please, don't restrain yourself too much! We share our concerns, so why not our laughter!
Wishing you always joy in your heart,
Much love,  Edda

Lets all pray that Blue is alright and will be posting her funny stories again here soon. (Maybe she is just having computer problems..or maybe she is on vacation ... lets pray that why she hasn't posted in awhile)

I pray that you are healthy and safe. Please let us know how your are.
We miss you and pray that you are alright.
 
Your "forum" friends are concerned. 
 
This should give you a chuckle - we do not need anymore "grey hairs or worry lines"..
I am a number #1 worrier. So my hairdresser just colored all my greys!!  My worry lines are still there!!

I pray you will forgive me for my neglect of you.
Once again I am being deeply tested and have been going through a most difficult time. Darkness has visited me once again and Life has again pierced my heart and has tried to break my spirit.
 
I stopped by to check on you my dear friends and to have a moment of prayer, But to my delite and a much needed uplift for my heart, I see that you have all be keeping me close to heart.  And yes I am sitting here crying my heart out because of what I have seen that you have done for me.  How I love you all.....and wish so very much that I could hug each and everyone of you. You are my shining light in a very dark time for me. You give me the courage to get through this and ......My God , My God please bless these loving souls......(note to self.....get a box of kleenex) I am thinking back on the past few weeks and now realize that the moments of ....a sense of hope was now coming from YOU my dear friends.....Much like flickers of light and love kept coming to me over these days, and at these times of light my thoughts were  drawn to you and this wonderful site, but could not come myself. I had nothing to offer and could not be of help to anyone..........In short my mind and heart were in a train wreck!!!!
 
I have a little ways to go yet, but now thanks to you.. I have the love and courage to go on....but know this dear friends.....I will continue to keep you in my heart and prayers, I will be back and hopefully in a much better frame of mind and the balance of life will come to me again...I hope.
For now I know this and will keep in thoughts as i try to part the dark clouds.........
!. God does Snort..Thank-you Artemis
2. Penguins for a laugh...Thank-you Edda
3.  hugs, love, humor ....Thank-you Vicki
4. Music for my heart...Thank-you Star
5. Quiet happiness....Thank-you Judith 

Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers, candles and loving thoughts. Thank-you for the courage and renewal I desperately need. Thank-you God for "waking me up in the middle of the night and sending me here" (note to self have a talk to God about that).....
 
I will be back dear Friends do not give up on me.....and when I do I will bring my stories and humor back...and most importantly..my prayers for you and with you. For now I am lumping the prayers all together and in great hopes that God is hearing and understanding me.
 
Thank-you DEAR FRIENDS.

God Bless you all, and may he answer your prayers and keep you ALL close to his heart.
Much Love to you all,
Blue

Status: offline 		Dearest Blue, SO good to hear from you! You've made my day! Deep down I suspected that perhaps more darkness had come to you. I am grateful that our prayers and thoughts help you to get through this. Please, remember, you can share with us your dark times, as you did to begin with, as well as your sunny moments. We don't love you just because of your stories and humor, we love you the way you are, for who you are. So, there is no need to stay away (adding to our fading hair!). We are with you in your ups and downs.

You remain in my prayers, and candles are burning for you!

With much love and warm hugs,
Edda

How good to see you again! The very idea that we have anything to forgive you for!!  Also you haven't been neglecting anyone!

We like hearing about you - however you are, and as Edda says, we love you just as you are.

I do hope the darkness lifts off you now and rainbows cover you instead!

Love J

Status: offline 		Dearest "Blue" - I too felt that darkness was slipping back into your life. I was scared and afraid for you - but I prayed and prayed that it would get better for you. I am so thankful that you let us know. We are not here to judge and I hope that you feel that you can come here for help and that you are NOT alone. We are all very good listeners. 
 
Maybe there is some medication that would be helpful to you. Have you discussed it with your doctor?
 
I hope that you are feeling better and that our love has brightened your day!!
 
God Bless you & keep you safe & happy.  (I am keeping your candles lit)
 
Vicky ;)   BE HAPPY!!

Status: offline 		Dear Blue, I'm so relieved that you're back.  From reading your older posts, I know that when you get "blue" (so to speak), you get very blue.  So I was really concerned about you, that you might be isolating yourself. 
 
You said, I had nothing to offer and could not be of help to anyone.  I hope you won't let that keep you away.  At times when I feel down, coming to this site makes me feel better, just because it reminds me we're all in this messy life together.  Might as well hold hands and hang on.
 
Lori
