"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

regaining peace~




"A friend is
someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten the words.
unknown


jan. 13

do you know the overwhelming feelings
that have been swirrling about within me
all created from
 each of you
your words
your compassion and kindness

many of you 
 brought me to tears
with your healing blessings thoughts and prayers
you have bestowed upon my family and me


THANK YOU
deeply for your care and concern

i will slowly be replying back to each of you personally
as best as i can

these last few days
i have been working on
regaining a sense of peace
in my home
and within me

it has been difficult this time round
to get back to my normal routine
i once had

hours that were sacred to me
felt like they were stolen away
 just as the pieces from our car were
they violated our space
a feeling that left me full of anger
full of anxious emotions
wondering if
they might return for a third time round

i am trying to remain optimistic
that they are finished
that all will be safe
that i can regain a sense of peace i once had

mornings  have been my time for many years
when all is quiet and calm
a time when i was able to fully embrace each minute
and savor the moments i had to myself

 knowing that what they did
 happened right under my nose
quite bothersome

but i am trying
and i guess thats the best i can do

lift my chin
raise spirit
and move foward
  
i have not had much energy to get really anything accomplished
including being here
and finishing up all the things that need be done

tomorrow for me
can not come soon enough
and
 i have faith
especially with each of you by my side
that they will figure out the root of what is going on

so i am so sorry for my lack there of words lately
i will definitely keep you posted
with what is going on

 again
all i can really say is

THANK YOU

Dear Faerwillow,
It sounds like you have been through so much lately. I read your previous post as well.
I am so sorry to here about your health problems and your car.
It is shameful that some people can do such a bad thing. It can make you loose faith in humanity sometimes!
I hope the thieves will get some bad Karma for being so cruel.
My heart goes out to you my dear friend.
Take good care and much love to you.

When it rains it pours doesn't it? I'm so sorry for everything being dropped in your lap all at once. I can sympathize with the anxiety as that is my natural response to being overwhelmed with bad news after bad news. Hopefully everything will come together in quick time so you can close this chapter and begin a new one.

You feel violated. Someone came into your space and did damage. I've been through it, and it takes time to get over. Years ago, I went home from work and found my apartment door busted open. Nothing was taken. Always had a feeling who did it, but couldn't prove it. Seems to have been a scare tactic. It worked, but not well enough. Even though I was scared, I wasn't about to give in. When we give in to the criminals, they win. Feel better my friend.

Sometimes the ocean of life is so rocky with pounding waves and then it's smooth for a while, but we all know that storms are always on the horizon in the midst of placid days. I've learned what works best for myself is not to "pray/ask" for there to be no more storms in my life, but the strength, courage and clarity to ride the storms out. You've been coping the best you can with all the latest chaos and have shown us all the woman you truly are; one of grace, compassion and strength. Hang in there, my friend. Sending you blessings of love and joy which it's time for!

My dear friend,
I have been thinking of you lately and knowing in my heart that you needed to take some time to regain some peace. I will be thinking of you when you go in for your tests tomorrow and praying that the Dr.'s will finally find out what's going on. Take care of yourself and know that those horrible individuals cannot take away your peace and happiness. If you let them , they win.
I know how hard it is and it will take time, but I know that you will conquer those feelings!!
Sincerely,
Melinda

Darling girl: be gentle, be quiet, be still. You can only do what you can do. You will get back your rhythm when it is right. Rushing to be back to normal, well, that will never be. Normal and all that is was, is not, life changes us everyday, but better is right around the corner. We all expect too much from ourselves when we have been violated. As I told GK in her particular place of pain today...it will come when it comes. Be patient with you.
You are strong, wise and capable and most of all loved. The Olde Bagg, Linda

oh you poor thing.. i just read you previous post. what a horrendous time you've been having. i just want to reach out a big huge hug to you.
you are such a sweet and loving person it breaks my heart to think of what those vandals have done to your little car, it's so upsetting.
thank goodness there are also lovely blessings in each and everyday, which will help you heal and give you back your confidence. i am sure your energy will return to you too in time, the spring (and even the thought of spring) will help.
take it one day at a time, be kind and gentle with yourself, look forward and know that we are sending you love and light xxx

Just focus on yourself right now and try to stay calm and serene, dear Faerwillow! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow when you have your test. Your health is the most important thing!

Cameron said...

We ARE all with you...in thought and spirit....in support and solidarity....

Life is not for the weak....that, in itself makes you one of the strong ones :) Sending a great big hug your way, Dear One.

Theresa MacNaughton said...

Big hugs and smiles are with you always. I hope that peace of mind and security returns to you and that health shines upon you...take care and know that we're all with you! Theresa

Tammie Lee said...

I have just read your last few posts, how upsetting and horrible what you have been going through! A motion light might be a good idea.... simple. Not sure if that would help, just a thought.

I wish you the best with your procedure tomorrow! I will light and candle for you, sending you light. xo

FW - go well, be strong and accept the positive healing energy. B

Dear Fireflies said...

My friend, I hope you're feeling better as I write this. I know sometimes it's hard to accept and go on, because upsetting things happen to the best of us. I always sensed that you're a loving yet strong sort of person, so I have faith that you will pull through soon.

I have a little gift for you at my blog. Maybe it will cheer you up? Many hugs, oxx
