Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
I went to supper with Jen's roommate, Rebecca. Jen is a friend of mine and LaRhonda's. LaRhonda is my roommate. Anyway, Rebecca and I sat down with this guy, Phil, who rides the East Side bus with me. This was the second time I had seen him at supper. The first time he was alone and had sat with some people who had an extra seat, I guess. They had left. LaRhonda and Jen thought he was kind of weird. He reminds me of one of those really smart people who is so smart and serious that he has trouble relating to other people.
He was alone again, and the people he had been sitting with had left. I started thinking about that. He had been alone both times I had seen him at supper, and he was never with anyone on the East Side bus. "Do you always eat by yourself?" I asked.
"I eat with whoever I find," he said.
If you ask me, that sounds like a lonely guy. His answer to my question was exactly what I would have said up until now. But now I am becoming more vocal because those answers didn't get me anywhere. It's funny that even when I say exactly what I think, very few people hear me. What does it take? All this just makes me more aware that people are crying out all around me and that I need to listen because their cries take on so many different forms.
