It's almost been 2 weeks now since my life dramatically changed, when i didn't even know it would. i have been doing ok, focusing more on myself, and family, and friends, who care about, and love me :) when it first happened, i had an awful heart sinking feeling, my esteem got very low, and felt extremely lost. those days after, especially the first few days, felt like those days were lasting forever, and the pain was very deep in my heart. writing, talking, sharing experiences, has helped me. also writing, and keeping balanced with my days. i want to feel completely whole again. :) i want to continue to be encouraging to myself, to motivate myself, to keep up with my days, and being in tune with family and friends :) nothing, can really prepare us for a sudden jolt of shock, that happens in our lives. for me, i never saw it coming, and don't understand it all still, but once my heart and spirit began to reflect, i realized, some things, patterns, and it's helped me, even though i still have no idea, and no explanation from her, i still have been able to cope, with each day the best i can. it's not been easy, but with family, friends, i do feel like i'm getting a bit stronger each day. i know i'm gonna have some rough sad days, but if i can have some good days, that will help me build up my strength more, and feeling better, as each day goes by. i've talked with my mom a lot this week. i've had friends talk with me on the phone, and through message. Everyone is so wonderful, and has kept me thinking forward, as much as i can. :) i feel like, i have direction, i feel less lost, and i am proud of myself, for how well i've handled everything. i've got lots of emotions, within me, feelings, but i am writing it out, talking it out, and that's a theraputic thing. i feel like right now, each day, will help me feel a bit better. :) Thank you angel friends, for being here for me :)
We're having a good thursday :) We're doing well :) today for lunch, i had some tomato soup, a baked sweet potato, and i had 2 baked tortilla wraps with honey mustard :) lunch was delicious :) i love my nice gifts, and cards :) i'll be using my cool new mug :) it's awesome :) i'm going to have another movie night tonight :) i have lots of movies in my collection :) Tomorrow's baking friday :) We're going to bake some nice goodies :) we love sharing our baking friday adventures :) Thank you angel friends, from us all, for everything you do for us :) each day :) You all bring us joy, and peace :) We appreciate you all, and i'll always be here, for you and your family's :) there's many more good days, to look forward too :)
