Day 24 and 25... various small gives for Xmas
I think yesterday and today were all about small gives, love and support. Warm smiles, hello's to people I don't even know on the street, being there with my friend Charlie as we visited his relatives yesterday and today for Xmas celebrations, which isn't his favourtie thing to do! Today our celebrations with the relatives was cut short, for as soon as we arrived the owner of the house stressed about the fact I turned up and didn't think she'd have enough dinner for me... even though her husband invited us the night before.. talk about communication!
So Charlie decided he couldn't bear to be around his rellies another second so we left straight away and went out for Xmas dinner at a fab Japanese sushi restaurant... which was his original plan! I thought it was best to spend Xmas with his rellies since it could be his Nana's last one. Unfortunately we had to leave his Nana there but I supported Charlie's decision to leave and didn't question it. I don't think he realises the love and support I provide him even as a good friend... he is going through much of his own issues right now which is why we're not in a 'relationship' as such. It is just part of my nature to provide support so I was happy to do so. That seems to be my giving to Charlie alot lately... just being there and supportive, even if I have a few things to say now and then! But overall it has a been a pretty good Xmas day despite my recent feelings of loneliness.
I hope one and all have had a lovely Christmas day!

Thanks Pauline, this groups definitely makes me feel welcome and it's been a bit of a lifesaver to be honest... just what I've needed!

Thanks Dawn for your sweet comments, lovely to have your friendship through this too! Re Xmas dinner, I generally find there is always so much leftover! Nevermind though, it won't be on my conscience that's for sure... I obviously pushed a button there! I did have a really great Japanese dinner, was worth every penny!

being there for our friends is so important. i can't imagine anyone being so rude as to stress in a guest's hearing about how much food there was ( or for that matter, anyone cutting it that close that it would even be an issue). no matter, you got to have sushi for Christmas - yum! i am so glad your holiday turned out better than you expected. Hugs, Dawn
