Surprising

People are amazingly resilient or so we would like to believe...

Today I heard back from a childhood friend who gave me a history lesson, on their history, that is...

This person I had not seen since grade school, more exactly first grade, by my recollections.

Without going into too many details their life would make a heck of a book,
their email to me awoke every emotion one could possibly imagine and their, 'true story' had all the makings of even a major motion picture.

Right now I am trying hard to figure out if it is all true.

"Skeptic", is my middle name.
After all, I did verify, through once again Googling this person I found that they did have two non-fiction books to their credit on finance.

And this person has had enormous business success, due also to a great educational background in spite of devastating hardships during their growing up time. They lived in my same town and being a child I do suppose I was not privy to a majority of what happened in their family and consequently to them and their siblings. Oh that's right, you, my audience, have no idea of what I am talking about , and oops I have let too much slip...

Any-who, I do think I am perhaps being too distrusting, and in reality what they said was filling me in to nearly sixty years of what I missed, and for that I should take it as what it is, THEIR STORY. And who that is truly into writing doesn't do that, really? I bet they talk the same way that they write too! Who knows... It has been a long day and in order for me to intelligently talk or write to anyone would mean I would definitely need a lobotomy. In other words...in Tobi speak, my eyes were so horrible today, lotsa medication used, but still hurting, even now, when writing this! 

Truly I am blown away with all the amazingly incredible people who have entered my life.  
I do know that over the last several years I have had an absolute mixture of people who are totally trustworthy and those who end up being confounding jerks!

Hard at this stage in my life finding out that you have been bamboozled, and perhaps that's why I am so cautious.

Honesty is harder to find these days, sadly, that's all I am saying.
You all know what I mean, true?

On that note of decisions to make in the near future, allow me to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all our blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square,  ya hear!

PS I do think down inside I do believe what I read, but as I said it invoked every emotion within me, I had Hubby read it as well and he too came away shaking his head...The adversity portion of the dissertation makes my problems seem so unimportant by comparison, although many of the others in this world does too! It, I think was how well they rebounded from it all was just so commendable considering what they had to deal with made me slightly jealous, no that is wrong, envious, no not that either, just incredible and a training lesson for anyone who has suffered devastation on such a major level and came back to succeed in any tests that life would give them from then on! YES, TREMENDOUS RESPECT!
