its raining, its pouring
Since the beginning of summer for my kids we have not seen even one day without rain. Things are really clean and green and I am actually enjoying the weather. Maybe because there isn't much to do...feed the ducks, bake cookies....and TONS of housework, that I incessintly put off. Today I am setting a goal to clean out my room. I hope to have my entire room moved into the front room by evening....and then to get the carpet cleaned, and begin moving back....it is more for me, but I am going to call it my Happy Fathers Day gift....Happy Wife, Happy Life.
who I was, who I am, who I plan to be...
i am trying to heal from severe childhood sexual, emotional,
physical, and mental abuse; and abandonment.
this is my story.
i have good and bad days, and some days the odds seem insurmountable.
i cling to the hope that healing will come to mend the shatter pieces of my heart, mind and body.
mile 191, well, you will understand as you read along.
mile 191, portions of my past have a link on the top right.
mile 191, bottoms up. hears to you and to me.
please, if you know me, just let me know you found me. i need honesty. (and please do not use personal names)
if you want to follow my story, please try to heal with me.
if you want to share with me, please do.
i will post bits of my pain as i can, and leave it here.
i once thought that i would publish...i haven't had the courage.
this is my closet, you are welcome to come in.
just know this is my refuge, healing takes place here,
maybe it will be a refuge to you too.
Quotes from Suvivors United - Standing Strong Together Against Abuse
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face.
Eleanor Roosevelt
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
Helen Keller
Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington
When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard, ' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

Hi Mile, I'm glad you're doing well. I need to set some goals like you are, that might bring me out of my slump.
Hugs!
Baking cookies is such a great idea! I am on my way over to help eat them! hehe

I love this... I am so proud of you and I hope you can enjoy the sanctuary of that clean room. I just got home from 3 days away with the YW in my ward. I have missed you.

Goals are good to set and even better when you can attain them.
Hope you are doing well. Take care.
