Thanks Peanut, your sweet as always.
You know after the roughest stuff here was over I knew I would have to make the serious effort to start getting back into the social scene. I had a birthday party for myself which is what you do here in Norway. Weird. Anyway, I invited 10 of the women I knew here and everyone came. We all had a wonderful time. I took a moment to thank them all for coming and that it meant ALOT. Then I wrote a personal letter to each explaining a little more of my situation (depression) and that I was feeling better, valued thier friendship, needed help with the language, etc.) Many of them let me know that the letter was beautiful, well written and thanked me so much for it. Then nothing.......What the heck else am I supposed to do. Park out on thier front steps and beg them to spend time with me? I hear about the parties, the girls nites out. Of course I hear about them after the fact or before when someone calls and asks if myself or husband are going to something which we havent been invited to.
OK, I guess my posting didnt help. Sorry Peanut!!!!
Thanks for caring about me and making me feel a little special today.
