Emotional Word Picture of My Mood Today (Apirl 4, 2008)
(Viewed From the eyes of a Puppy). Today my master put me a car for a long ride. This ride seemed to be something that was a normal occurrence. Its happened so many times before. After sometime the car stopped and my master got out. My master then opened up the back seat door and let me out to run around. My master had my favorite ball and threw it for me to fetch. With excitement I ran as fast as my little puppy legs would take me to get the ball and bring it back.
As soon as I got to the ball and turned around, I saw the car that my master drove driving away very fast. I panicked; this could not be happening for my master wouldnt ever leave me on purpose. Although I tried I could not catch my masters car. As I watched, my masters car got smaller and smaller off in the distance, till I could not see it anymore.
Hungry, tired and very confused, left on the side of the road for dead by my master, I realized I was truly alone, and became very afraid. What was to become of me now, for I have become a lost puppy and I have no master?
Explanation of How My Emotional Word Picture Fits My Life Situation:
For me, the puppy represents my life at this very moment in time. Its the reborn me with my tail wagging back and forth as I face lifes little challenges and difficulties. The puppy represents the feelings of innocence of being reborn that is within all of us if we just seek it and become open.
For me the master represents the marriage in my life that is failing. Although I try to please my master (the marriage) I end up being left behind, cast aside and left to fend for myself in a world I no longer am familiar with or know how to survive in alone.
For me, the road represents the path that is available to take in my life after my master (marriage) leaves. At this point Im not sure which direction to walk. I guess with time Ill figure that out. However at this very moment, Im truly unsure of what my future holds. I still have my hope, and I still have my faith and yes, oh yes, Im still here.
Maybe in the future near or far, I will find love again and be adopted by a new master (marriage). With a hope in my heart and the faith that guides me anything is possible. My journey of life continues. Yes, it is true my life is on a different path then what I had expected or hoped for, but life continues all the same.
Welcome to the first day of the rest of my life.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
Speaking in doggy terms only I think eventually u will sniff other butts and find a real friend.
As for faith I would guess this is a real test. Try to pray for strenth and turn it over to God for a while. At least until its long over. Trust me, time will pass and Your mind will be more clear.
I prayed and recieved the spirit of truth. Gods spirit. Thru my faith taht Jesus died for my sins.
The truth comforted me and got me thru the hardest moments. Kind of like that foorprints in the san thing.
My ex was an alcoholic so it made matters worse and it took a little longer for me to comprehend it all.
In time u will simply understand that it didnt work out and u will accept that easy enough.
You are right...today is the first day of the rest of your life. The rest of your better life. The day u have real opportunity to find real love. Not from some user that satifies her own needs then speeds off.
Take your time and pick carefully. Someone is there. God is there right now. Call and he helps instantly.
Good luck to you.
#1. Follow the way that masters car went forever...
#2. Pick up the ball and walk down the road, but away from the direction master's car went... hoping to eventually find someone new to play ball with...
#3. The puppy can hold that ball in his mouth (because that was the last thing his beloved master played with him with), and lay down in the middle of the road...
If the puppy picks #3 because he is so sad that master has just left him, and just wants to sit in the middle of the road because he does not have the energy to get up and face any decisions, then what's gonna happen is not a pretty site...
SPLAT! (wait, I have a point)
Next time you are in curled up in bed thinking you cannot get out of bed because you do not have the energy to get up and face any decisions, the just remember pb's puppy story...
THE LITTLE PUPPY THAT WENT SPLAT!
