I Get so Emotional by Whitney Houston
We have been seeing soooo many sneaks lately. One of the first in July was Coming to America. It was cute, light-hearted and I liked the innocence of the foreign characters.
Next Keith and I saw Die Hard (on a date.) He just LOVED it! It was pretty good and I liked the bad guy. He's a great actor!
The first big movie Bruce Willis has been a part of.
JULY 24, 1988
I’m Drained..
Emotionally first, always first…
And Physically.
Drained of my inner being.
I no longer have a grasp as to what that is. Or did I ever?
Oh Yes…
I faintly recall my inner being..
The part of me that gives love,
Receives love
… And always, always…
Lives on Love…
Why?
Why would God give a person
So much love.. And desire
For love
If he never intended to let
One receive it?
It seems like a total waste.
…
You know, I really don’t
Ask much from life…
Just one thing..
But maybe it IS too much!
LOVE!
I’m going to be
TOUGH!
Not mean… Not hard…
Just Tough!
It will be good for me.
Not so open, vulnerable, accepting.
My God!
I’ve tried life that way for
27 years!
It didn’t work.
So now for Plan B!
Dear Lord!
I don’t know how to be Tough.
Give me strength!!
Let me know the difference
Between hard and cold from
Just Tough and Smart.
(2022 comment - what the heck happened? Just two months into Keith and I dating.. I remember a break-up for a very short time, but I think that was October or so… ?? who knows?)

Letter from Jim (guy I met Oct '87 in London)

Dear Janie,
I really must apologize for not writing to you sooner. It is very rude of me to have taken so long!
Thank you for your last letter. It really does cheer me up to hear from you. ...
I have found myself with a lot of time on my hands... I decided I didn't want to start work again so I went to visit my brother in South Africa.
I had trouble getting a flight there so I had my travel agent look into Dallas flights. But I couldn't confirm anything with you.. I phoned you a couple of times and left a message on your machine but I managed to get a flight to Johannesburg and because I hadn't been able to contact you, I decided to go to S.A.
I stayed in South Africa for five weeks and I had a really good time.
Letter from Jim (in a nutshell)

Whilst I was there I wrote you a postcard but realised I didn't have your address. So sorry!!
Well to answer some of your questions I did not see 3 Amigos, I didn't watch the Academy Awards but I DO like movies! No I am not seeing a girl in London and even if I was, it certainly wouldn't stop me from writing you!
I just started a new job last week. It is near the Tower Bridge - til Xmas. It's the same type of job I did before working at the "Swan" - building staircases.
I am going back to Ireland as one of my brothers is getting married. He is two years younger than me - I am afraid I am getting behind!
So what about you? What have you been up to? Say Hello to Mary and "Mum" and Dad for me. I hope you are well and I hope to hear from you again soon. Don't leave it as long as me. Do it NOW!
Lots of Love,
Jim
