Recently Adam and I talked about being overwhelmed by the world. And we talked about how God has only given us a circle of people really to influence and be influenced by. The rest is overwhelming because it is not in our scope of responsability. I don't know if that helps at all. But those kids are with you for a short amount of time and you will impact them well. And then they will be someone else's job. As for ourselves, when we think we are too much, we must remember that we are NOT too much for our people.....and the world is not all our people. I love you!

Change is difficult. Grieving the past is something I haven't allowed, so it hurts. I'm not great at sitting with my grieving self. I use guided meditations all the time, and love them, but for some reason I was criticizing myself for not being able to just sit, without guidance. Silly!

Like you silence in any form lets my mind wonder and run, sometimes into dark places I don't like and sometimes into joyous places I never want to leave, I handle each one with the same reasoning...My life as confusing and sometimes as chaotic has touched so many people and changed so may lives, I know I am not perfect, far from it..But each day I try my hardest to be what I need to be for myself and only myself because working and doing for any other reason will only damage and disappoint you in the end... You have been through so much pain and so much trauma it is hard sometimes to let yourself be imperfect and or irrational but we all are, everyone of us. I also watched my 2 children move on, get married, have kids, develop futures for themselves...We as parents can only hope that they will still have time for us in their busy adult lives..Just as our parents did when we started down the path we are on...You are a great person, and I have cherished the friendship we have developed. I knew something was on your mind, but I also know when to let a person rationalize for themselves without interference..The answers you seek are in you, and you will come to them in time, just don't forget the people around you love you and want to support you anyway they can....Be safe, keep smiling..You are in my thoughts daily...<br />Porsche944https://www.blogger.com/profile/12241862387997450849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-88797752204095426322016-03-11T23:30:38.872-06:002016-03-11T23:30:38.872-06:00I so hear you right now!

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

I was AN for most of adolescence. Finally I had to just give up the thought pattern but it really doesn't matter. I didn't do it on purpose and what is done is done. I have to work with the body I have now. I am glad you were able to give yourself a pep talk. Those words are true. I wish you peace and strength to cope with the pain. <3ghost girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896624901302720397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-83967550837579394212016-02-24T16:28:35.693-06:002016-02-24T16:28:35.693-06:00Rest up and get better!

I have been in and out of therapy for decades trying to sort out and conquer the after effects of rape and trauma. And I am pretty excited to say that I think I have finally come out the other side, mostly because of a therapist who convinced me to write and talk about it.<br /><br />Please know that I am here, rooting for you. I hope you will continue to write about your fears and your victories - not only for you but for all those anonymous people, like myself, who have read and have been bolstered by knowing we are not alone on our shared journey. You will never know how some of your beautiful poems helped me through many a dark night.<br /><br />Sending you warm and healing thoughts and wishing you peace.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-53583583907058230142016-01-18T22:05:21.174-06:002016-01-18T22:05:21.174-06:00i am so grateful for many things but for love i gi...i am so grateful for many things but for love i give my spirit.<br /><br />Namaste' Aho. :)lumynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12154150831829201866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-21987668585014239372016-01-18T09:27:07.396-06:002016-01-18T09:27:07.396-06:00There are no words.
