Today...
...not tomorrow, not yesterday...Today.I decided that I would quickly take a minute to write before I get to my homework. I am so behind in school and really struggling this semester to keep up. My kids are getting older, busier, our schedule is so SCHEDULED.
I do have some, much, time to myself, but find myself not getting done what I should be. Can I say overwhelmed??? Absolutely, but also thankful.Today I just want to focus on being thankful for the ability to greet each day with ABILITY. I can do so much. I may struggle with a great deal internally, but I am physically so able to do all the things that each day brings. Not that I feel perfectly perfect, but I have the perspective that I am really able to do much, and thankful for that Ability.So often I have written complaints here and there, whining about all that is pulling me down. Today I just wanted to say that I am aware of all that I can do, and I am thankful.
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?'
Sydney Harris
Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Richard L. Evans
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Yes, we are far more capable than we often think we are. And when things are so busy with kids, activities, school, etc., just remember it all changes.
The kids grow up, their school activities are no longer, we complete school, new things come into our life. That's life. And it's all good.
