*fingersCROSSED!

Hello! I am taking my time off myLot now because I was sleepy when I watched that favorite afternoon television series. Right now, the movie Geostorm is being shown again.
The mobile phone of my son rang a while back, and I called him to answer it. He answered in English (I wonder if my sister will comment again about my son’s replying with the universal language but good thing she is taking her nap in her room).
After the call, my son smiled and said something that made me cross my fingers.
This is what I will share here if the result is positive.
I am keeping my fingers crossed now, and I should let go of the negative vibrations within me.
May I ask you, my dear friends, should I communicate with my sister now? Or should I maintain my indifference towards her, because up till now, she also seldom sees me eye to eye. I am 11 years younger than her, and she is my only sister, if you are me, will you do the first move of reconciliation? She is of the envious type, should I talk to her alone?Now?
And I was able to type the 2nd paragraph without looking at the keyboard, but I committed many mistakes, which I corrected after the paragraph was done, of course looking at the keys now.

@ridingbet I do not believe it is because of the age, I am also nearing the 70, but I have not changed a bit since I was 30.

@LadyDuck it is her own perception that when we age, we deteriorate. sometimes too, she is the good lady outsie our house whil i am the aloof one. the neighbors do not really know how she is when she is at home. i am not soft-spoken; actually, i talk loud with my transgender-ish voice, but i cannot hide anything.
we are really poles apart.

my sister has been like that for ages now. she should be our parents since she is the oldest but she is not acting like one.maybe because she is nearing 70?

My brother's latest trouble had made me distance myself from him, it was unacceptable in all accounts. He did exactly what Father did. I don't know if I should forgive him and communicate with him like nothing happened. But it's pretty challenging for us to try and reconcile with them. Maybe when the situation comes in and they need our help we should make ourselves available. But for me, I think I'm done helping him because of what he did.

that is sad. your brother might think that he only communicates with you when he needs something.
but family is family; some though have the heart of a steel that what is in there cannot be softened.

she spoke to me first. i think that is already enough to e silent and aloof to her. 36 hours? that is fine now for me.

I almost always type without looking, learned this as a preteen. but like you, make mistakes sometimes too.
do whatever you feel is right, if you think space is needed, do it.

@Courtlynn it means despite our differences, she is still a family. we may have some disagreements, but we are children of our parents, that is what i mean.

she is envious of me hija because i have my son with me and she can see how i and my son care for each other. her 2 daughters are living there in Manila and she did not go to visit them this year.
i have been telling her since March that she can go there until July since i am on standby from work, but she refused.

@mlgen1037 she says she cannot ride on a bus for more than 10 hours trip. besides, Manila before is different from Manila now. and her envy will be heightened again if the good news i am waiting for will be positive.

I think you'd better try to make up with your sister. After all, she is your family.

i guess you're feeling magnanimous because of that call, and want to share your happiness.
were you always the one who gave in first when these things happen?

yes, i was so happy with the call and no, i do not always make the first step to reconciliation. i have pride but when the person i have indifference with, talks to me first, i think i should respond as well.

she talked to me last night and i think that broke the eyes.though we are not yet back in to laughing at something, i think we will get there eventually as long as there is no more negative vibrations.
