audrey_1 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 My aunt gave me this little snow globe with an angel in it for Christmas. It's small enough to put in my purse and carry it around with me, which I just sort of started doing. I sit her on my desk while I'm at work, and have her sitting in my living room while I'm home. I've been using her to soak up all my negative emotions concerning my break-up, like she's a "friend" there for me. Probably sounds corny, but it seems to be helping. I know I've got to work on me, despite this prop, and I am, but it seems to have made things a little more bearable. Anyone else do something like this when you've got relationship blues?

openbook08 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 one of the kids i teach gave me one as a gift back in june as a thank you token! a lovely, child, with really nice, decent parents. on the day of the hols her dad, a gentleman, was asking me about holiday plans, so i was tellin him i was headin off for a week or two overseas, he said 'oh with himself'..it was only about a week after my ex of 5years had finished with me by text & it just came out 'am, no, thats over' the poor man he went all colours of red he felt terrible for askin such a personal question (even though he wasnt to know, it was an innocent question originally!!) he was very nice about it all & assured me he wouldnt be spreading the 'gossip' around the small little village i teach in - and he didnt. near the end of the day his wife came in & gave the little girl a wrapped box for me - its a snowglobe with an angel inside & a guardian angel sittin on top praying on the outside, theres a little prayer inscribed on it too. i was so touched, she just winked at me and smiled as i thanked her.its one of the most thoughtful gifts ive ever received ive used it all the time, similar to yourself, so i understand what you mean Link to post Share on other sites
Author audrey_1 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 That was a sweet gift from one of your students! Thanks for sharing your story. And I'm sorry your ex of FIVE YEARS broke it off with you by text message. How shallow and spineless. I hope you're doing okay. Link to post Share on other sites
Geishawhelk Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There are tiny cloth bags with little "worry dolls"....They really are no bigger than the first joint of your little finger... and at night, you whisper your concerns to them - one each (and hopefully, you don't have more than 5!) and then put them back in the bag and they take your problems away during the night. Things always seem better in the morning! Google "Guatemalan worry dolls"............ Link to post Share on other sites

Author audrey_1 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 The worry dolls sound like something you could use in general, not just for sour relationships - a good thing! I have always had trouble sleeping, and I am usually up much later than I would like or plan to be. These might be worth looking into. Maybe I could beg them to help me sleep! A team of dolls might be just what I need... Link to post Share on other sites
