Hello Friends,
Many times in the last year, I found myself in a situation that didn't seem right, and they were incorrect. My gut feeling was right. I often said, "Let me sleep on that." Then, during the middle of the night, I woke up, tossed and turned, returned to the computer, and discovered I was correct. What did I learn? My intuition was right, but if I failed to obey my senses, I wound up taken in by a nefarious and devious person.
A nefarious and devious person doesn't like it if you hesitate or especially tell them you need to sleep on it. I should have known better and learned vivid lessons: My gut is almost always right with its warning.
Since I was at a disadvantage being socially isolated in a new place to live, I was easy prey for scammers, con artists, and fraud perpetrators. I have learned my lesson well, yet I know time will tell. When I am in a lonely period, I am quietly desperate for a companion to engage with fully. I have to double my guard.
I am committed to caregiving and accept the condition I find myself in because I love the one I care for despite the cost for me in my personal life.
