Falling Down 100....Getting Up 101

[RosaLinda]

Portia  "I do believe that great things are in store for us. That has been my constant this whole past year. Blind faith that no matter what I would be fine. OK I confess I hadn't realistically estimated the time line but no storm can last forever."

This is how I feel too Portia. Honest faith, a bit wavery at times, but always returning, that in the end we will be alright. That for some reason God thought we needed to learn to be strong and self reliant and faithful to ourselves, and how to stay optimistic and compassionate, in the face of the most painful betrayal. Sort of battered and banged up, with casts and crutches and bandages stuck all over us and with broken hearts, but our broken bones and smooshed hearts will knit back together stronger than the original. 

Better not bitter. 

I'm sorry you are feeling a bit restless Portia, wishing you were traveling instead of trying to detach. Where do you usually go this time of year? You need an adventure! You too Nero. Traveling might be an excellent cure for a broken heart; I dunno, it might make it all seem worse. I'll let you know.
