Hi sweet readers, thank you for your support in reading my blog posts and encouraging me.
I must admit, I’m embarrassed that my Christmas post was published publicly. It was very raw, as I was very raw, Christmas morning. Those thoughts were meant to stay private… yet I clicked the wrong button.
Embarrassed… to reveal the depths of agony that I fell. Yet depths of agony still are in my path, and I do trip into them at times. That is my reality.
Upon reflection, this blog has always been about me being real with all that is happening with me… not always completely open, but very real. So I’ll take back embarrassment.
Truth is, December has hit me very hard this year. Why? well I’m sensing that this is the year that being alone without my immediate family, sprung upon me. And this is the year, that the reality of being widowed and single is settling in my being… and not peacefully. I still fight my reality… I don’t want this reality… yet here am I.
I spent the day with extended family, laughing, chatting, and surrounded by love. I’m okay.
New hope for a peaceful heart has found me… New faith for a peaceful heart has found me…
Love to you all…
Live…
Donna
