Where Am I Headed

Since October 20, 2007 there have been so many changes in my life. Unfortunately I am riding the waves created by the choice of others and my options are to ride along or get off. Today has been lonely, even in the presence of a 4yo.

While reading a bedtime story to my granddaughter tonight this sentence jumped out at me, "Sometimes you can learn from the past and do a better job in the future." Hmmm, maybe I need to repeat this over and over to myself!!!! And to think it came from a kids book. The program teaches "Keep it simple."

Thanks willie48 and Hollowwood for your words of encouragement. I think I am suffering from a little "mid-life crisis" with all the things going on. I have now been taking care of my granddaughter for seven months, my husband moved out three weeks ago (not the first time this has happened, but definately the last), I am out of school for the summer and isolation is setting in. I attended a new women's bible study on Sunday and I have even made a couple of 12-Step meetings this week. I have a weekend away planned with a long time friend without the granddaughter so next week my emotions should less negative. Deciding to join this group has already impoved my outlook. It does help to put down in words what is going on in my head and heart and to know others can give insight and share the feelings

Luv your Quote! I many times wonder " How the Hell I got Here!" But , ounce there, we have to try and get back on tract. As much as we may think our problems are unique, you will find that they are shared by many. Art

Changes are so often things we cannot control. Sometimes I feel like a creek, flowing along, sometimes over or around rocks, sometimes almost like a dry riverbed, sometimes clean and merry like after a spring thaw. However, despite changes the final choice is always one's own, unless, of course (and God forbid), one is mentally incapacitated. Alone is sometimes not so bad, but lonliness can sometimes be an overwhelming burden on the heart. Guess those are the times we can be glad there are supports out there (like in here) with whom we can share. I know, despite the fact that I'm new in here, that I AM here, for one. Be kind to yourself, take care of your heart
