The days are filled with terror. Problems piled up so high. Panic sets in, as soon as the birds start chirping. Sleepless nights, filled with anguish. Nothing solved from day-to-day, constantly being turned away. No one has answers and no one seems to care, absolving themselves of any and all responsibility. Reliability is rare, it … Continue reading Days
Pain
We Can Ignore…
“We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.... No doubt pain as God's megaphone is a terrible instrument; it may lead to final and unrepented rebellion. … Continue reading We Can Ignore…
The Superhuman Achievement
As I was struggling/suffering through my afternoon yesterday, a woman started talking to me. She told me she has MS. She and her four sisters were all stricken with the same disease, and one sister had already lost her life to it. I immediately felt like my pain was small in comparison, not that we … Continue reading The Superhuman Achievement
Moody Musings
I'm in an ugly mood. I think I went to bed that way, to some extent, which only partially explains my nasty mood this morning. I (almost) never lock my cats out of my bedroom, but when they started their petition to shove me out of bed around 5:00, I silently got up, put grain … Continue reading Moody Musings
Emerging From The Cave
I woke up from a dream this morning that could have doubled as the weirdest movie EVER. Or a book. In fact, I'll be writing it down later since my dreams revert back to a clearer picture within a certain amount of time. Rule #1- Never share your writing ideas. I'm exceptionally exhausted and in … Continue reading Emerging From The Cave
On The Other Side Of Pain…
“On the other side of pain, there is still love.” -Madeleine L'Engle Clearly not, especially if it's physical pain.
Father’s Day
You will find that I am almost completely silent on Mother's Day and Father's Day. I lost both of my parents within five months of each other between 2007 and 2008, so each holiday is difficult for me. My parents were young, making it all the more devastating. I have a living, constant reminder of … Continue reading Father’s Day
Imagine Smiling…
“Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.” ―Markus Zusak
Blame It On The Pain
UGH! Yes, that's what I have to say. I'm tired, because apparently "crack of dawn" in my house means "We're all awake Mommy! Don't you want to feed us?" Mmm...not so much. LOL. After truly forcing myself to get things done yesterday, today barely feels like a Sunday. It is quiet, thankfully, and there's supposed … Continue reading Blame It On The Pain
Weird Worthless Weekends Lost To Pain
Friday morning I stated that I'd rest this weekend and get things done inside my home, as much as humanly possible. I mentally calculated exactly how much laundry needed to be done, and then factored a few others things into the mix. What I did not factor in was a terrible Fibro flare and bouts … Continue reading Weird Worthless Weekends Lost To Pain
