The year before I started blogging was
the worst year that I've ever had.
People whom I had poured my life, energy and love into
did not like that I also held them accountable for their actions,
they never told me exactly what I did
but they said that I offended them.
There were terrible things said about me ,it snowballed and got really ugly.
I was hurt ,depressed and in need of some restoration
when I started blogging.
I found the blogring 'Den of Fools' and dingdongdingbat.
She accepted me into her family, in real life as well as here on Xanga.
They were just what I needed to meet the need that life had left
...I do not complain for God is good
but I can not express how much the love that I found there meant to me
when I was a little empty,hurt and isolated.
I believe that God brought me to a place where humor,
acceptance and love could help to restore me.
Today is dingdongdingbat's birthday.
Happy Birthday Ma!!

Happy Birthday dingdongdingbat!!! Isn't it amazing how 'family' can be made from a group that is totally unrelated. I think that's how He really wanted it.
You are very special to all of us....we all love our Beth!
Lovely to have an internet family! People can make such a difference in many ways, even when we can't see them in person. I am so glad you found such support and comfort.
This is a great post, you always come across as such a grateful person and I guess this is partly the reason.
RYC: The egg white description is actually consistent with the beginner's recipe there. Kinda weird.
Your post this morning blesses me for I am where you were.
I am glad this is a better time for you. I love it that God always has an open door somewhere for us. DDDB is quite a lady, isn't she?

I have the problem of only being able to see half of your pictures. I see all the text, but not the whole picture.
I love her screen name, AND she likes 'The Pampered Chef'! Good people definitely! Happy Birthday
@katietroyer - I am so sorry that you are in this place right now,I will be praying for you,restoration will come!
mom said she is starting to feel guilty for giving you away!
so when are you coming home to visit again????
Friendship is such a treasure, I know she shares this treasure with so many!!!
Xanga has helped so many people and changed our lives for the better. Just as she blessed you, you also blessed me the time we talked on the phone. It's great to meet people who empathize on here.
A happy birthday to dingdongdingbat, and I'm very happy for your recovery. I agree with faerieshadow that Xanga has helped many of us. I'm sure you were as much a blessing to dingdongdingbat as she has been to you.
She is a treasure! I think everybody loves her. She is so uplifting and seems to accept us however we appear to her.
she is a great lady for sure...........Happy Birthday
for a really lovely lady
@DanishDoll - Is this better now? I made it smaller.
i'm glad you found the den, too. otherwise, i would not have the pleasure of knowing you either!
The pictures are still cut in half.
She's also pulled me up a couple of times when I hit the bottom. Let's keep her!
