Friends' Prayers

He sleeps. 44 deploys today for 12 months in Afghanistan. Today, both of us begin a journey of awakening. In his 20 years of service, now he goes to war zone. In my 27, I think, years of parenting, I will be alone ... really alone for the first time since I had my first child. His wish for me is to discover me, be comfortable with me. I've gone back to my blog to begin journaling the next year. — at Fort Benning Army Base.

Nancy I love you, Yolanda & wishing you a lovely journey of the Awakening. Please send my best to 44.

  

Laci Send him off on a good note. And tell him to come home safe. As for you, welcome to the journey! You got this!

Judy praying for your friend to be safe and for you to be at peace.

Cindy Good luck on your journey !! I have faith that you can find the new you. I miss Ree so much just feel reasured that you did a wonderful job raising her and she will makes us proud.

 

@ Cindy just to find me. I don't know who she is. Left home when I was sixteen to escape my mother and have never looked back. Never ever feeling whole, always fragmented. Perhaps now with no one to care for but me ... I can become whole, and happy.

.@ Laci, thanks Sister Girl. I know we haven't known each other very long ... but I believe in giving a person their flowers while they can smell and experience their beauty. You are an angel and inspiration. Thank you. I am scared but excited about the work I need to do for me.
 

Laci <3 Keep in touch and let me know how you're doing. No need to be scared. Pray, pray, pray. Sit yourself down and have a talk about what it is you want in life, what makes you happy and then make it happen. And never accept less than what you come up with. You deserve to be happy and live the life that you want. Hugs!!!!

Laci I will be praying for you! Keep me posted. <3

I will read your blog too. I'm running a lot right now, back and forth to the hospital, but one of these days I'll have more time.

Good luck on your journey! Make sure you enjoy it along the way.

I had somewhat of the same experience before I met Paul. I spent a lot of time crying before I realized I had to just go out there and make it happen. I was so unhappy then and I finally decided I had to figure out what I wanted in life and make it happen. It was not easy by any means but well worth it.

You have accomplished so much in life, this will just be another thing to add to your list.:-)

 

Elaine  You are going to discover the beautiful, kind, loving person that you are. I will be praying for 44.

 

Nancy  The mountains are calling you...

Nancy You can hear 'em, can't ya? This is not unusual. They just do that! ;-).

 

Yolanda  I can't hear them ... but I can feel the radiance of your loving kindness. Ladies, let me tell you about Nancy. She was the first person to befriend me ... soon after I bought the house she arrived with a box of misc. housewares items so when the children arrived they would have dishes, etc. Maurie, a mountain bike. After the accident, she came and helped me with my therapy ... her and Darryl. They've been my family when there was no family. Nancy is stepping up again.
