Well, once again, those "precious memories" I have came flooding in like a storm and I had a minor emotional breakdown.  Although I see this happening much less in my life now they do still happen....and just when I pat myself on the back for doing so well and being so strong.  But they happen none the less and I am left feeling mentally and emotionally drained.  And wondering if this will ever end.

I am so glad for my kids and my friends and the new love in my life, Karim, for not running from me in these difficilt times and just letting me cry it out, talk it out or scream it out as I feel the need to work through it all.  And for my step-son for asking "are you ok mom?" and just walking away when I reply, "Do I look ok to you?" Hahahahaha!!!  I can laugh at it now but I'm sure at that moment that young man was thinking, "Why did I come here again?"  

There will always be times inour lives that we go through valleys of sorrow and pain and loss and times we will ride high on the wonder and beauty of our lives  and our mere creation.  We do not know the future and can not escape the past.  We learn to get through life one day at a time taking the good with the bad and knowing tomorrow will be another day filled with the challenges, joys, and sorrows that surround us.

Take each day as it comes.  Live the sorrow when necessary and hold on to the joy that comes however fleeting it may seem at that moment.  These moments of our life will never come again.

Have a beautiful day and take care,
