Not To Be A Wimp, But I Could Use A Hug

[Dinger]

Just so much shit going on in my life. The load is heavy. No, this isn't even related to the MA Senate race, just a bunch of stuff going on, not all negative. I am worried about some of my loved ones, I am worried for a student of mine who is terminally ill, I am worried for my pregnant daughter-in-law, I am worried for my dad, I am worried for my mom, I am worried for my brother, the list goes on. Sorry. It does help putting it down in print. Not sure why, but I appreciate this opportunity.

3. I'm sorry about all your worries etc.

And having a terminally ill student, whom you obviously care very much about, must be heartbreaking. All I can say is I send you my best wishes that life gets a little easier soon, and that your student is not suffering or at least not beyond what they can bear... Hope this small verbal hug helps just a little.

[Dinger]

6. Thank You abq e streeter

It does help.:hug:

7. Hang in there!

:grouphug:

Put something life-affirming, or at least cute, into your life...







:hi: We're pulling for you!

[Dinger]

11. Thank YouCBHagman. Those Are Cute : )

I know I sometimes come across as a smartass, but that's not the real me, at all.

9. Asking for a hug does not make you a wimp...

p.s. pass it on

Here are two for you :hug: :hug:

[Dinger]

12. Thank You demmiblue

I just have a feeling I'm about to lose it. I have some family members who are DUers. They have no idea.

If you feel that way, perhaps you need to seek help. Everyone needs help at one point or another in their lifetime. In fact, admitting that you need a little help and guidance takes a lot more strength than simply letting yourself get to a boiling point! You have a lot on your shoulders... of course you feel like you are about to lose it! You need to treat yourself well in order to be able to treat others well. I don't doubt that you have excelled at the latter, but it seems as if you are lacking in the former! Clearly, you are a giver-- time to give to yourself!

Take care!

13. I'm from Minnesota, so I wouldn't touch you even if we were cousins,

but I can offer you a cup of coffee and a non-threatening arm-pat.

Thanks.:)

15. Oh, I just saw your Packers avatar!

My comment was a self-deprecating Minnesota joke, NOT a knock on the Packers. :)

[Demoiselle]

30. Oh, Dinger. Big hug from here.

You're a worrier because you care. That's a good thing. And it sounds like you've got a lot of people to love. That's a good thing, too, even if it means worry.
All the best to you. The Lounge is a good place to hang out, as you know. Lots of good sympathy and humor here. I've decided to spend all my DU time here for a while.

[Dinger]

38. Thank You Demoiselle

I am fortunate in so many ways. Lots of stuff now. I didn't list it all, but at times, I just don't think I can handle it.

[ThomCat]

31. (((Hug)))

I hope things start to improve. :(

If your student is terminally ill, I guess he probably won't, but I hope he can at least go slowly, easily, and without any complications so that s/he has as long as possible.

For everyone else, I hope their situations improve. Whatever they are dealing with, I hope the troubles ease up and go away.

:hug:

[Dinger]

39. Thank You ThomCat

I appreciate every single reply in this thread. It does help a little.:hug:

[GoCubsGo]

32. Here, but in part because I wouldn't mind one in return.

I have a shit list that is similar to yours. I hope both our lists get shorter soon.

Heck, have two hugs: :hug: :hug:

33. Cheers Dinger!

I know the winter can be cold and long in Wisconsin, but hang in there. A new year has turned, spring and it's time of rebirth are just around the corner.

You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

40. Thank You RT Atlanta

Your post made me get misty though, but in a good way.:hug:

[rurallib]

41. Dude - Hugs are no problem.

Every now and then it helps to know that you are not alone and people do care.
Most of us have had some tough times. Friends help.
