My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

I just wish someone could tell me that my life will not always be this painful.

No-one can tell you that you life will ever be painless. No-one knows the future. We can make assumptions, and have hopes, and plan, but cr*p still happens, and can happen for months, or years. Or, just on a day when you're thinking "life sucks", something happens --- a new job, a kind word, you win something in a competition, or (dare I say it) a new man who won't run at the first sign of your needing something from him. They are out there --- just gotta have patience.

I have been somewhat out of sorts myself, lately. It seems that the tumour subsiding has been somewhat of an anti-climax. But, I do try and enjoy each day I'm alive. I am so sad for your colleague --- I pray for her healing. No fun to be in this situation. As for being alone --- who knows who will be with us at a time of extreme crisis. Your colleague has you, even though she didn't know you very well. There's always an angel waiting in the wings.

(((((Strength H'mama!))))))) Just a reminder of God's care below, since I know you are well aware of it.
The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12)
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
Blesses are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven.

not looking for painless at all. just enough less that I feel I can function and not curl up into a ball.
