Sometimes Barely Gettin By....

Hi All...

Sorry I haven't been "Present" ON the Board Lately, but I have had a Pretty Crappy Go of things these Last 2-3 weeks... And Tho I am Doing my Best to Patient for HP's Will, I know at times I Slip and Need to Dust off & Start again... Cant Say I like it Much at All Really, but I'm Still Moving As Forward as I Can Handle at this Point...

So Many things going on With My Family, Friends, & People I Love & Adore, and Tho I Know Their Problems I can Not Stop, or Do for them, it at times can still keep me twisted for a bit...

My 4 Legged Family I too am Struggling with, One is Very Sick another I need a Good Home for due to the others Sickness... It Breaks My Heart because Even tho there are 5 critters I Adore, I still Hate the Thought of Loosing One, but I have been Left with No other Choice... And it pretty much has my heart breaking :'( So Please Pray I Find her a Deserving, Loving Home... Soon...

I know there are Many Animal Lovers here, so I know you all understand... Many times my Critters are the Only things that bring Light on a Not So Bright Day, So I'm Struggling with that one Alot...

I have so Many in my LIfe that i am So Thankful For, But at times I come to a place were I want to Scream... "Stop being so Rediculous" but it is not my place...And I Try and Remember... Is it "True? Honest? Important? Necessary? & Kind? And the Last One Usually Snags me Every time....lol...  I have never been one to Go Back to the Ones that Abuse me Daily, or Shun Me, or treat me bad & when i have Friends & Family that just keep riding that Merry Go Round, and Then want my Sympathy, I Struggle with that... Have I been abused, ABSOLUTLY... Have I Been Down in the Dumps & Prayed God to just Make it Stop... SURE HAVE, But when I get to that Place... It is Then MY TURN... To Step up & Do My Part... Do I hit it Everytime... Nope... Sometimes I Come up Short & Must Tredge On...

Sometimes I wonder if it is My Own Emotional Week that Has me being 'Discontent' with those I Truly Adore, and I Do my Best to be Very Accepting of them as an Individual, and i Do my best to Show them they are Not Alone, and even if I don't know their Struggles, (All of them) I Know it can get better if that is the Desire that is truly in thier Heart...

As We all Know, Sometimes What we Think is BAD! Is Just the Beginning of Something Monsterous, but If I stay Fast to the Ground, with my Eye on the Ball, how can I Miss... There is a Statement I have lived by for a Long time, "Please Doubt Me, So I Can Prove you Wrong!" Maybe Sick thinking to some, but for Me it has always kept me Wanting MORE out of My Life & for Some reason it Removes My Fear of the Unknown, and tho that first Shimmer of Doubt my play on my Pride, what I gain from the experience is 90% of the time, Just what HP Ordered...

My Hopes Are High, & My Prayers this Week have been that of Non-Stop... For All those I Love & Want Happiness for... With A Week LIke this, POWERLESSNESS Has proving Once again, I AM! My Power Has to Keep Shining Light, even when the End of the Tunnel Shows Not End at All... Never was One to Enjoy the Darkness Long, So I have always Searched for the Light, recently it is just taking longer to get here... But... I have True Faith, That If I Keep My Feet Safely Planted in the NOW... The better Off I will be to Here My HP's Next Step & Direction of It...

 

So Grateful for you all... Your Struggles Your Inspiration, Has Provin Again & Again, That I CAN! Thank You All

Jozie :pray

HI JOZIE

SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR 4 LEGGED CRITTERS BEING ILL.  I KNOW IT IS HARD.   YOU ARE SUCH A KIND CONSIDERATE PERSON THAT BEING POWERLESS IS HARD AT TIMES.  REMEMBER THIS TOO WILL PASS

KEEP ON DOING THE NEXT RIGHT THING FOR YOU , AND BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF
