Our wishes


I’ve been told
Several different ways
Worry is a
Form of prayer.

That the universe
Conspires to grant
Our wishes whether
Positive or negative

I’ve been told
To always think
In terms of
The positive thought.

Restate the worry
In the form
Of the positive.
Watch what happens!

I find


I am grateful for my life
I am grateful for my family
I am grateful for my friends.

I choose to be happy
I choose to be content
I choose to be caring.

I release my worries
I release my fears
I release my doubts.

I find peace
I find joy
I find love.

Through your eyes


I see the beauty
In the world
Through your eyes.

You see
The light,
The colors,
The textures,
And how things
Fit together.

You see
The beauty of
The inner soul.

You see
The beauty of
The outer world.

I see
Your light,
Your compassion,
Your strength,
Your humor,
Your soul.

I wonder if
You see your
Own beauty?

Introduction - Profile


I intended to put this in my profile but then you’d have to see it on all the blogs as one big happy paragraph.  That seemed a bit visually distracting so I’m opting to put this in as a blog and reference it instead.

For those of you who have been reading the blog or know me personally, this is probably old information.

For those of you new to the blog, welcome.



Hi,

My name is Deb.

This blog is my story, my journey, of starting over after losing Bill, my husband of 35 years, to cancer.

The English at times is incorrect.  Sometimes that’s intentional and sometimes it’s because it’s written late at night and I can’t think any more.

Sometimes the cadence is rhythmic; sometimes it’s choppy and awkward.  That too is a reflection of what’s going on in my head, my life.  Sometimes I’ve got it together and sometimes I trip myself up and fall.

My life is somewhat like a blank piece of paper.  I have no idea what I’m going to write on it.  Sometimes the strokes are bright and bold.  Sometimes they’re timid and shy. 

Half the time I think I surprise those that know me.  Most of the time I surprise me.

I am definitely not a therapist although I have been known to visit them when necessary.  The really good ones I call my paid friends.

So while I write for me, you may find my words echo your feelings along your own journey or you may recognize a friend on their journey.

Thank you for reading, for joining me on my journey through accepting my loss, making peace with it, and choosing joy again in my life.

Deb
