On A Journey To The Unknown

Life
~ By Sue ~

My life is a mess
I want to cry
Nothing goes right
I don't know why

I work and work
to get ahead
I have animals
who have to be fed

So many bills
that never stop coming
I've hung onto hope
since last Spring

There is no light
at the end of my tunnel
My problems keep coming
all in big bundles

I am so tired of the struggle
I just want to give up
It seems to me
life is just too tough

Hey girl,
Can hear the exhaustion in your voice here, but also know the sun will shine upon you...
Hold on.

Sweet Sue, my heart goes out to you. So often in life, the darkest comes just before the dawn ~ may your dawn appear with the arrival of Spring.

You have worked so hard to get where you are. You have seen difficult times and you have come through them. I pray that you will get through this one as well, Dear Friend. Your spirit sounds weary. If you can make your body as healthy as possible, that will help you deal with all that is on your plate at the present time.

Vitamins, fresh air, a healthy diet, exercise ~ and lots of rest will increase your ability to handle what life is dishing out at the present time.

Hugs with much love,
Linda

Look up not down
Life's a smile not a frown
Half the world would wish for yours
You have the widest choice of doors.

I know what you mean Sue. Many times I feel this way, but how can we give up? We gotta keep going.

I just have to keep believing that there is something more than this day to day struggle.

It's ok Sue to feel rotten once in a while, but I think you know it's a better place to be than where you came from. And you've come a long way my dear friend. Don't give up now.
To hell with all bills, I'll throw in mine too, ok?

Sue

I was so saddened to read your heartfelt words and there are many people here who care for you.  I hope their words bring you comfort.

"We are all angels with only one wing.......
we can fly only by embracing each other"

Take care..........Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
