I love you right back, Miss Kelly! Miss you so much and all the fun times we had in Colorado! ?

Oh, my dear one…thank you so much for sharing with me. It always helps when you find others who “get it”, doesn’t it? We are all just works in progress! ?

I am 72 and still married for 52 plus years. Growing up with an extremely verbally abusive sperm donor contributed to my anxiety. At one time, and only one year did I suffer so badly from IBD that I lost down to a size four. My colon was very inflamed and the doctors sent me to specialists for cancer, but nil. I am a retired teacher who still subs, two days this week, I refuse to eat during school. If I stay home and close to the bathrooms, I hardly have an episode. However, so uncomfortable saying this, but when going out, I opted for those cute ‘diapers’, yep, I just wrote that. I read Max Luccado’s “Anxious for Nothing” and the first chapter read ‘anxiety is not a sin, it is an emotion’! All my life I felt I was sinning. I do take anxiety meds, but nothing that is habit forming, as I watched Mom get addicted to prescription drugs! Thank you for your transparency. I am still a work in progress. ?♥️?

First, let me tell you how sorry I am for your loss, dear one. Death releases us from the infirmities of life, but leaves those who love us with the pain of our absence. You will learn things about yourself you couldn’t have imagined as you walk through this season. Thank you for being here all this time and for sharing your sad news with us. A burden shared is lightened, however minimally. And thank you so much for sharing the poem. It’s amazing! Prayers for comfort and courage. ?

My husband passed away a few weeks ago after years of failing health. We married young and would have celebrated our 51st anniversary a few days after his death. I find myself in a season of growth that is completely unavoidable. I read this poem recently, and thought I would share after reading your post. Thank you for your daily inspiration.

Wisdom…Sara Teasdale

When I have ceased to break my wings
Against the faultiness of things,
And learned that compromises wait
Behind each hardly opened gate,
When I have looked Life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange—my youth.
