giving up . time and again i hear it you are a strong person amd i think back to everything past and an almost smirk rises in me . how little anyone really knows me how many times the ease was almost there to give up to give up the fight to survive not caring for the emptiness is there still there and cannot be filled either by myself ( and all the advice that says first you must be happy within ...before) . who made up that statement ? must have been someone who has never truly known the loneliness felt from abandonment from untimely death from expectation... . today i give up because... the wait is too long . m "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

No, Maureen, we never give up, we just become wiser and, of course, accepting. Acceptance has such a calming influence - it takes us from victim to victor. I wish that for you. |

we are strong women, who have felt everything you've described, and we've at times depending on personal burdens, wanted to give up, but we didn't. Why? B/c there is that spiritual adrenelin of power which is the desire to survive...even if against our own will (self-pity) but it is most definately there, and never leaves our side...until eventually we take that first step, then the next, and the next after that... What you have described here are feelings we have all felt, just depends on how long we allow those feelings to control. Very good write |

Very sad write, dear Maureen .... touching my heart deeply. I agree that no one could honestly say, that such feelings haven't touched them. But there is Love that guides us out of the black tunnel, always. This life is full of pain and there are moments when we feel overwhelmed, but please trust that you are never alone. Reaching out with a big hug. Love, Margherita  |
