I cried for a couple ...I appreciate your thoughts. I cried for a couple of hours, just grieving. Then I realized, I was letting the past color my future. There is no reason why I can't have another snake other than I won't let myself. So I have three coming next week.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, it's easier to move past things if there is financial reason, etc. When it's just FEAR, and it fear of the unknown and the unnamed and that is all that's stopping you-that's the hardest fear to overcome.<BR/><BR/>I don't think my new kids will ease the past, but they will help me enjoy the present.<BR/><BR/>I'm not telling anyone here about the snakes. They were always cause for great speculation from the neighbors, and I want to be able to enjoy them on my own terms without explaining WHY I enjoy them all the time.<BR/><BR/>When people start wanting to bring their grandkids over to hoop and holler over your pets it's time to put a lid on things.<BR/><BR/>I'm getting a better sense of what boundaries work for me. So, I'll be a "closet" snake keeper...LOL.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-59907313954411554142008-03-27T16:27:00.000-05:002008-03-27T16:27:00.000-05:00Oh Deb...Oh Deb...Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166466078612863791.post-40400581062442485882008-03-27T14:48:00.000-05:002008-03-27T14:48:00.000-05:00debs this gives me such a lump in my throat. altho...debs this gives me such a lump in my throat. altho i have no love (or even like) for snakes, i was bereft when this awful tragedy occurred last year, i used to think about it in bed, and i couldn't stop thinking of losing one's whole family, so you bring it back for me too. be strong, and i do know with grief, time does (eventually) heal it, leaving less and less pain that hurts like hell. peace and comfort to you and a blessing sent to bette snake(my favourite).soulbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879115279499153124noreply@blogger.com
