I must admit it - I'm a TV junkie. I love it. I love reality TV, soap operas, MTV. I don't really care for shows like CSI though or Law and Order - they require too much thought - but I love TV. One of my favorite shows of all time is John Edwards crossing over - it just is so fascinating. He just really seems to be talking to the dead...fascinating. I could watch that for HOURS.
Anyway, I tell you this because sometimes in my TV watching I come across tidbits of information that really do apply to real life. And I guess as I'm watching to escape from the painful realities of life, I'm processing my painful realities. One woman on the show lost her 4 year old boy to cancer. He happened to come through during a reading. The mom, who wasn't in the audience was reached by phone by her husband who was in the audience. John Edwards asked her, as he asks all those that have gone through trumatic events, "what is it that got you through this rough time?" She said "Only blessings, never losses." She said she just focused on that - we are always blessed. Always.
That has given me a new outlook. If a woman can lose a 4 year old to cancer and walk away saying Only Blessings, Never Losses, I can get through this. I can let my H walk away and figure out his life on his own, without me. I will be ok. Only Blessings.

If what you say surprises me, I must have been assuming something else was true. - M. Wheatley
