Lessons From Adversity
by Nancy Jay
Ive been angry for so long
For all that has gone wrong
Couldnt see the good in anything
No matter what life would bring
But now that my angers subsided
Ive been more open-minded
Ive realized how much Ive gained
From living with adversity, its strange
Chorus:
Ive met wonderful people who helped me along the way
People I would never had met had I not faced such pain
Ive found inner strength I never knew I had
Ive been able to appreciate the happy times among the sad
Ive found a purpose to live, a reason to give to others in despair
Who just need someone to lean on, someone to care
Had it not been for my struggling
Id probably still be muddling
Along without a purpose or reason
For living my life with such meaning
Had it not been for adversity
I would never have found the opportunity
Giving others the knowledge they need
To get through tough times and succeed
I would have never written this song
Because I never knew I had this gift for so long
I wouldnt be fulfilling my dreams to sing
Had I been working, Id have no time for anything
Repeat Chorus:
Ive met wonderful people who helped me along the way
People I would never had met had I not faced such pain
Ive found inner strength I never knew I had
Ive been able to appreciate the happy times among the sad
Ive found a purpose to live, a reason to give to others in despair
Who just need someone to lean on, someone to care
Ive gained so much from adversity, you see
But most of all, Ive finally found me

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...
