    you are precious, processing your thoughts and feelings so wonderfully...hugs

    sometimes we need to fill ourselves back up, we give and give and the baskets gets near empty, it is important to refill it. I use daily prayer and meditation to recharge, to be filled Spiritually so that I can face another day of giving. ...hugs

    there are days and sometimes weeks and even months when it all seems so overwhelming, it feels like I am drowning. But when I get a recharge, no matter how insignificant it seems, it always helps.

    You aren't alone, your feelings are real and valid and you deserve them. ...hugs

    Even now, when you think you can't write, your words are beautiful and moving and I for one, and I am sure others as well, feel your words and respond in kind. hugs

    Shep is right, just over this next mountain is a wonderful lesson...I don't know if you have ever read the book, Hinds Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard, but I highly recommend it, and I know you will enjoy it too. maybe it would be a wonderful new addition to your new nook!...:)

    You are in my prayers, and I know you will come through this with a smile and a beautiful lesson, and writing as prolific and beautiful as always...:)

    Shep, I hope that you're right about me. I want to believe you are but sometimes, you know those times when you're getting scared and trying to be honest with yourself....and you just don't know how to deal with every thing that is coming your way...that's what it feels like and I get beside myself. Usually if I can have about 3 minutes in the bathroom alone or with my husband...I can come back to reality and face it all again.



    You don't know how much your words have meant to me here....I can't thank you enough.



    Peace be unto you, my dear friend!

    This is really quite a face to face with yourself.



    Balance isn't always possible. You call is balance, I call it peace of mind....same thing. You've grown as a person. That's what a lot of this conversation seems to me.



    Sick relatives, you know, there is a era in our life when we have to go through this stage. Well, we don't HAVE to go through this. Many, run for the hills, during this time of life to avoid all the unpleasantness.



    You're thinking of doing the same? But what? You can't? You're conscience won't let you!





    "Bravo, bravo, the King called out..........



    All HONOR to those WHO TRY"!!!!





    McGurly, I have so much respect for you. I was so afraid of this part of my life but I didn't run either.



    It's scary to think of what the future might be bringing to you but I already know, you're up to the

    challenge.



    You haven't questioned, examined, dissected, analyzed, constructed then deconstructed your every thought and action to "run away" from it all now.



    Maybe there will be "the greatest lesson" learned just on the other side of this mountain.



    Peace be to you!
