Today's Wisdom

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."

- Ann Landers (Belief Net)

There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.
St. Paul
I Corinthians 13:7 (gratefullness.com)

"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."
- Richard Bach, is a best-selling author. (The Daily Love)

"If you let it, life can become a simple pattern of staying in your comfort zone and never wandering out into the unknown to see what lies on the other side of its horizon. Today is Monday, the first day of the week; change your patterns, even slightly today, so that a new world can find you. Do ONE thing that scares you today,
ONE thing that makes you a little nervous, ONE thing that you never thought you would do. If you do ONE thing every day you will have done 365 NEW THINGS in a year!
Today, don't try to tackle everything, but please do ONE thing!"
- Mastin Kipp, founder of TDL. (The Daily Love)

Good stuff, still I feel paralyzed.
I must start moving, though I'm not convinced my legs will hold me up or my feet will move.

I can't just sit here. Fatigue settles me deeper into the couch.

I will move. I will take a shower. I will make some phone calls.

I will grieve.

Then grieve some more.

Then grieve some more.

But first I need to move.

Why are you grieving dearest Merry. Has something happened to your Dad?
And maybe even though you want to grieve sitting on the sofa is actually what you need to do.
So whatever is going on with you my friend just look after yourself and be kind to you.
love

If you still comment as Anonymous, just say your name in the comment.  You can use first name and last initial. Or last name alone. Or an Alias. Just so I can get your name in the hat.

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur
