Buddy---good bye my friend

I am sad my friend Buddy (Casmir Ruzycki) passed away this week. He has been my friend since I was 15 years old. He was married to one of my best friends, Sue. He was always a lot of fun and tried to always do the right thing. (well except a couple times!). ...Buddy taught me to always take great care of my music collection, and to try and keep my anger in check. Most of the time that works! He was always the considerate host, always giving and cheerful, even when he was hurting inside. He taught me about lasting friendships. He was loyal to Detroit even though he followed us out to Arizona---he took our word for how nice it was, packed up and came out---even though he had never even been west of Chicago before! Bud could always be counted on, no matter what. He was loyal and true to his friends. He stayed with Jerry until the moment he died, being his friend. I will always have a spot in my heart for Buddy, and will miss him a LOT. A toast to you my friend, please take good care of dad, Jerry, Suzie and Carol. See you again....

Happy 2010

Happy New Year everyone. i am trying to figure out my goals for the new year! I think of course number one is to work on my spiritual life. I have been searching for a church this past year. Not very hard, I admit. I have attended a few different faiths with my friend Wendy and trying to listen to God about where I belong. Its hard, because I think so many religions are all talking about the same thing, the same God, and the same rules for behaviour! Why do they all get so hung up on "we are the ONLY right way".....I guess whatever your path to God you have to feel its the right way. BUT I dont think any church is the ONLY one.
I guess I will keep looking.
Another goal is to keep on track with my weight and exercise program. I am getting stronger every day, and I hope to see results each month. Please keep me strong Lord, and keep on getting me to the gym 5 days per week!!!!!
Also I want to be a better wife to my sweet Bubba. And a better daughter to my wonderful mom, who is so lonely. And a better sister to my siblings. They are my family. I don't have any children and I am so lonely for family companionship. I feel like their kids are mine, but here I sit so far away. What to do?????/
Wishing a happy year to everyone I meet. And a pleasant life to you all!
