Thank You!!!

I want to say thank you so much to all of you who left me such wonderful messages of support and encouragement and some wonderful, well timed advice on my last post.

I can't tell you how much your support meant to me and how truly grateful I am to all of you right now.  I wish I could send you all a huge bunch of flowers to show my appreciation, but I suppose these will have to suffice.



As I predicted, I got up this morning feeling so much better in myself, with a new perspective and wondering what all the fuss was yesterday.  It was all very raw and very real at the time.  Any negative feelings or distance between us are just so much harder to bear now since ttwd.

The fact that I am feeling much better is largely thanks to you guys.  As a commenter said, "I'm glad that God made days and nights so that we can start over" - Thank you Belle :)

It never ceases to amaze me just how quick blogland is.  Within a very short time of publishing the post your wonderful comments started to arrive.  I even read some of them in the middle of the night when I woke up during the night and saw from my phone on the bedside table that another comment had arrived.  Shush, don't tell Rick that!

Rick and I talked on the phone last night and I know any lingering feelings from our episode yesterday have since faded for both of us.  All is good in Roz and Rick land - sorry honey, I mean Rick and Roz land!  Did you see the lovely comment he left me? (swoon!).

During our episode yesterday I thought of you guys while I was trying to figure out how to handle the situation.  How to remain respectful to Rick etc.  How would xyz handle this?  We both apologised.  Rick said he thought he had handled the situation badly and should have handled it differently and more immediately.  I truly felt he had nothing to apologise for.  I told him so then remembered the wise words from June about accepting an apology from the HoH with grace.  How when he feels he is in the wrong, or in part responsible, he needs us to accept his apology and needs our forgiveness.  Just as we need the same from him - thank you June :)

As for my 'blog wobble'; well, ya know how it goes; something goes wrong and you get down and then suddenly you feel down and useless about everything!

OMG, thinking about it now did I actually have a 'blog tantrum'?? - seriously Roz - grow up will ya!

Rick will tell you that I am the queen of tantrums (not something to be proud of - I know).  Well, not so much now days.  Since ttwd tantrums tend to be bad news for my backside!

They may not occur as often any more but they do from time to time.  I also get extremely feisty and react to things.  You know how it's the little dogs that make the biggest noise, have the biggest growl, biggest bark etc? - yeah well, I've already told you I am small - make that very small lol.  Not that I'm really comparing myself to a dog or anything - sheesh!

Remember Scrappy from Scooby Doo?


Yeah him

Well, when I get feisty or have a tantrum Rick calls me Scrappy - "jeez you've really got your Scrappy on today!".  Or he will simple recite Scrappy's catch phrase at me - "let me at em!" - oh brilliant Roz, that is sooo gonna be your new blog nick name!

Once again, thank you all so much for your kind words and support and advice when I needed it.

  1. I am a firm believer in Karma Roz. Well at least the positive kind. Barney and I were discussing you and I and yesterday on his way to work. Anyway, you give the good you get the good! Plain and simple :)

    As for Scrappy, guess we are very much alike. Only my family started calling me Mighty Mouse ( not sure if you ever saw the cartoon). My brother on the other hand quickly adapted it to Wilma's personality- Might MOUTH! (<- I know right?) Gotta love older brothers!

    My Kobo Vox 'dinged' while I was in bed, it was Rick's email...I too swooned! lol

    Happy that all is right in day light!

    Love
    Wilma!

    1. Hi Wilma, my humble apologies for the long delay in replying to you. I just haven't managed to get onto my replies until now.

      Thank you so much again for your support when I needed it. Wow, you guys were talking about me? I am chuffed.

      LOL, ah yes, I remember Mighty Mouse, I used to love him! I have older brothers too and they used to say similar things about me. Still do, and come to think of it, so do my parents! Lol

      Rick says I should use Scrappy as my profile picture.

  2. Glad things are so much better. Whenever I am in a funk, or things are crazy, or I have really screwed up, I just remember that no matter what the sun is still going to rise the next morning. It always makes me feel so much better. It's just a different version of Belle's advice.

    1. Hi Bas,

      My humble apologies for the delay in replying to you, I have haven't been able to get to my replies until now.

      You are right. We won't escape the ups and downs of life, but ttwd gives us a much better way of dealing with them.

      Thank you so much for your kind words and support when I needed it. I really appreciated it. This community is so amazing isn't it? You are so right, we are not anonymous to each other.

      Hmm, Rick thinks Scrappy really suits and says I should use him as my profile picture!

      You would love NZ Bas, lovely country - and it's spring here now .... just saying.

  8. (((hugs))) Rox, so glad you are feeling better. I saw his comment - it was sweet & made me cry (even if I wasn't crying at the drop of a hat nowadays, it STILL woulda made me cry).

    Awww you're so sweet, thanks, Roz, for the lovely compliment :) It takes a while sometimes,but I do learn, lol, and if it can help someone else, I'm happy to share what I learn.

    Hope you have a better night, Scrappy, lol, and that you get some sleep tonight.

      Oops, sorry about the tears June, those were lovely words from Rick weren't they? I think I'll hang onto him Lol

      I do learn a lot from you and Ward. You give a lot of great advice and your posts give me a lot to think about. You two are a wonderful source of inspiration and encouragement. I am so thrilled for you both to hear that you will be together for the holidays. I can imagine it must have been so hard waiting for the news.

      Thank you so much for visiting and for the comment. I an chuffed and always love making new blogfriends. It really is such an amazing community isn't it?

      Cat sure is a gem. That post was so touching, had been in tears too. You know, I think she plays a very important role in our community. She provides a place for us to go and 'chill' and have a laugh when we are struggling and need it the most.

      I have seen you 'around' in blogland and will pop over and pay you a visit :)

  11. I'm still catching up, but no need to reply, Roz. I just wanted to say I'm glad you feel better. I'm always touched by the outpouring of support in ttwd-land. Scrappy is cool. I love when he plays detective! Rick is a total sweetheart for posting such a beautiful comment. It would be a wonderful tribute to your very romantic leader of you were to honor his suggestion regarding your avatar! Lol!
