Hope for A Hope

WORD FOR THE DAY

People gain so much hope when they know they are not experiencing something alone.

The very reason I came to blogland in the first place. I have not been disappointed. You have made me laugh, cry, rejoice and feel heard. 

 For this, I thank you.

    The blogging world helped me feel less alone. I also gained a feeling of camaraderie...there are so many of us who think the same way, feel the same way, have the same problems. I love being a part of this small world.

    Dear Lind!

    i loved this quote ,we all speak behalf of our personal experiences i am little weird about this situation

    i feel that i have no one around who thinks like me and can understand the true perspetive of my words and response

    yet since childhood i have a secret imagery friend but it was somewhere in my unconsciousness

    for ages i could not figure out who is he

    but life and time told me that he was who created me ,he never left me alone and miraculously helped in worse situations may be he realized my true desire for Baili which mean FRIEND

    you have hope and biggest proof is that you are fighting this battle without thinking about give up

A Journey To Home

Image
My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

Return The Kindness

My #3 child is still working abroad. She and her partner live in England somewhere near Manchester. The company she works for is an Oregon based company that provides medical and dental insurance for the citizens of this and 3 other states. When she started at this company about 6 years ago she worked with an older gent who left within the first year of her employment. They did not have a ton of interaction but they were on friendly terms. The other day, quite out of the blue, my daughter received an email from this person. They reached out, wishing her well, and letting her know how very sorry he is for how the LGBTQIA+ community is being treated by the current government. Letting her know he is on her side.  I think we are going to need to do a lot of that from this point on. For the brown skinned people in our communities, who must be living in fear, for the LGBTQIA+ community, who has no idea what is in store for them in regards to passports, bathrooms, their names, their posit...

It's OK Not To Know

The melancholy that has settled in during the holidays for the last 5 or 6 years has descended like a light mist. It’s become a bit of an old friend I suppose. I’ve decided not to fight it overly much.  My boy left for the Bay Area after a few days visit, I’ll see him in another month. How are we supposed to get used to saying goodbye?  The Joy that once filled my heart when putting up Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving is muted & somewhat jagged. Perhaps it’s partially because of a dream put away or maybe a bit because thanksgiving wasn’t really an easy holiday this year. Don’t get me wrong the food was good and it was great to see the people I love but it was complicated. Complicated by my wrist being broken and by a relationship in transition. I’m growing… my soul is maturing, healing and part of me just wonders if I’m where I’m supposed to be. I don’t have to have the answers now, it’s OK. But I kind of wish I did. This is just today. Tomorrow will be b...
